Step 1

Start with your contour powder. Find your cheekbones, and slide the pigment just below them in a downward motion. “It should end a couple of inches away from the corner of your mouth.” Use about two shades lighter than your skin tone,” – Tina Turnbow @Refinery29

Step 2

Next, apply your concealer. “It should create a halo effect around your eyes” – Turnbow. Use your fingers to pat it on along the tops of your cheekbones. Then, bring it up until it reaches just above the tip of your eyebrows. “Look for a concealer with a radiant aspect to it. This will help attract the light.”

Step 1

Fill in your brows first.

PIMPLE CONCEALER (by Cosmopolitan)

Let’s get rid of these un-welcomed guests fast!

Step 1

First use a green concealer to cancel out your pimple’s redness with a clean brush to on the pimple only.

Step 2

Then, use a cotton swab to dab on a high-coverage liquid concealer that matches your skin tone to camouflage the pimple. Blend it into the surrounding skin and finish with setting powder.

Products recommended – Maybelline Cover Stick, CHF4.90, available at COOP and Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, CHF35.90, available at Jelmoli.

Step 1

Dab an orange- or peach-colored concealer over dark under-eye circles with your ring finger.
Your ring finger, which is your weakest, will apply just the right amount of pressure to blend in the concealer without pulling at your delicate eye skin, and the orange or peach tones will cancel out the blue shadows that your under-eye circles give off.

Step 2

Top the orange or peach formula with a cover-up that matches your skin.

Product recommended – Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit, CHF43.95, available at Globus.
