What you need
Steps
Start with clean, moisturised skin. Let your moisturiser sink in for a few minutes so the base sits smoothly and does not pill.
Dot a peach or orange colour corrector only on the dark circles and any dark patches. Pat it in with your ring finger or a small sponge.
Apply a light layer of foundation or tinted moisturiser over the whole face. Use a damp sponge and press, do not rub, for a natural finish.
Add concealer under the eyes and on any spots you want to hide. Tap it in gently and blend the edges into the foundation.
Set the under-eye area and T-zone with a light dusting of powder. Keep it thin so the skin still looks fresh.
Sweep a warm blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend up towards the temples.
Add a wash of warm eyeshadow or a little shimmer on the lids. Curl your lashes and apply one coat of mascara.
Finish with a lip colour in a festive shade, such as a berry or warm red. Blot once for a softer look.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a corrector one or two shades warmer than your skin, not lighter, or the under-eye area turns grey.
Apply corrector in thin layers and build up slowly so it does not crease.
Set only where you need it, since powdering the whole face can make brown skin look flat.
Blend each layer before adding the next so the base stays light and skin-like.
Questions
Which colour corrector works for dark circles on brown skin?
Peach and orange correctors work best because they cancel the blue and purple tones under the eyes. Pick a shade close to your skin depth rather than a very light one.
Can I skip foundation and just use corrector and concealer?
Yes. Corrector plus concealer on the under-eyes and spots gives a light, natural look for a short event. Add a tinted moisturiser if you want more even coverage.
How do I stop concealer from creasing under my eyes?
Use a thin layer, blend well, and set with a small amount of powder right after. Avoid piling on product in the fine lines.
