Broken capillaries and dark circles under the eyes are among the most common aesthetic skin imperfections. Mineral cosmetics, known for their excellent coverage, allow you to minimize the visibility of imperfections in the comfort of your home, during your daily morning makeup application. The following article addresses the question of how to conceal redness and dark circles under the eyes.

Broken capillaries and redness

Mineral concealers are helpful in concealing redness and broken capillaries. Their high pigmentation allows for a wide range of concealing redness of varying intensity—from mild to severe, from localized to widespread.

If redness is localized, after applying your favorite foundation, dab a little mineral concealer onto the desired areas using a fine-bristle brush. If the redness is extensive and covers larger areas of the face, you can achieve initial coverage by applying a full-coverage mineral foundation , then dabbing in a small amount of concealer matching the foundation shade, for example, with a Softie sponge .

Red can also be neutralized with its opposite color, green. Annabelle Minerals offers a green mineral eyeshadow called Mint that can be used effectively for this purpose. Rub a small amount (really small) into reddened areas, then apply foundation and concealer. You can also mix a bit of the Mint eyeshadow with your concealer. This will create a more earthy, olive tone, softening the redness. Apply the resulting concealer under your mineral foundation.

Dark circles under the eyes

Illuminating foundation helps conceal dark circles under the eyes, regardless of their color. Why foundation and not concealer? The latter has a slightly heavier consistency and antibacterial properties, which can dry out the delicate eye area. Illuminating foundation, on the other hand, has a lighter formula and additionally contains mica microparticles that reflect light. Its pigmentation is weaker, but buildable. Depending on the number of layers, you can achieve light or full coverage, while still achieving a radiant, rested look.

How to conceal dark circles under the eyes? Apply illuminating mineral foundation using the pointed end of a Softie sponge or an appropriately sized brush, such as a medium, compact, ball-shaped brush. Apply the foundation under the eyes, in a triangle shape, and around the eyes.
