Covering Eye Bags

Below, we’ve listed some of the best-known techniques for covering eye bags. They’re really simple and will make you look young, fresh, and rejuvenated.

  • Use a base cream like a corrector. These are perfect for covering imperfections because they’re long-lasting and moisturizing. The best products to use are liquid ones.
  • Correcting cream. These are great because the cream doesn’t crack or filter over expression lines. For this reason, it’s one of the most used products.
  • Tan base. Look for a makeup tone that isn’t exactly the same as your skin tone. A tan base will be better for the areas you want to correct.
  • Use corrector properly. This is important because if you use too much you will end up with undesirable results. Use just the right amount. You don’t need to overload yourself or it may look gloopy.
