When concealing dark circles with makeup, it is not uncommon for it to accumulate in the small folds of skin located just under the eyes and in wrinkles. Here’s a pro makeup artist’s tip for smooth, visibly younger-looking skin.
Hold his concealer all day is no mean feat, even when opting for long-lasting makeup. It is generally necessary to powder the area under the eyes in order to fix the make-up until the evening and to conceal the signs of fatigue effectively. Only problem when you are over 40 : this seemingly innocuous little gesture tends to accentuate the fine lines under the eyes and crow’s feet wrinkles. The powder, in fact, quickly accumulates in the furrows which then become all the more obvious. A fatality ? Not necessarily according to professional make-up artist Vincent Ford who shared a make-up tip for camouflage dark circles without marking fine lines under the eyes and its wrinkles on his Instagram account.
The make-up artist quite simply diverts the use of setting powder, usually used as a finishing touch on eye makeup. Rather, it invites mix it with the concealer at the time of application to smooth skin texture and prevent make-up from migrating into creases. But be careful, you must not proceed just anyhow.

Makeup: how to fix your concealer without marking your wrinkles after 40?
First of all, apply your usual eye care so that your eye contour is properly hydrated. It will thus present fewer fine lines of dehydration. Then, rather than spreading your concealer and powdering it on top, start by applying just a few touches of concealer under your eyes as you can see in the video below.
Then, take a small brush (like an eyeshadow brush) that will help you blend it with your skin. Then take a little transparent loose powder and work the concealer with the puff loaded with powder. So, you will mix the two products together while you make your dark circles disappear and makeup will no longer run into fine lines under the eyes.
You will also notice a nice difference on crow’s feet wrinkles when you lift your eyes with your concealer. To ensure a fresh and luminous look, the make-up artist recommends using a loose powder that is not too mattifying in order to accentuate the rejuvenating effect of this concealer tip. It’s up to you, you’ll see, it’s super easy to reproduce.
