Make-up tricks to help you hide bags under your eyes

Instead of waiting for habit changes and home remedies to work wonders and help you get rid of bags under your eyes, you can use a few simple tricks to hide these imperfections on your face.

Good makeup can do wonders on your face. Do not forget about it. In stores you will find tons of products to mattify the bags under the eyes, but they are not always good for your skin. Sometimes they can also make you look unnatural, as if you were wearing a mask.

Makeup helps to cover a lot, but fair-skinned women often find it difficult to choose the right shade for them. If you are not a makeup professional, you can give your face a kind of “raccoon effect”. “Raccoon Effect” is the common name for a darker or lighter shade around your eyes that stands out clearly from your face.

You can prevent this from happening by matting the bags under your eyes at the same time. Just follow these tips: thoroughly dry your face, moisten it with cream, and then apply your normal make-up base – gently tapping it with your fingertips into the skin. By doing this, you will carefully hide the bags under your eyes so that they are not visible at all. Then wait a few minutes and apply another layer of makeup. Thanks to this, you can be sure that the top layer of makeup will not rub off the base layer. We recommend applying the top layer of makeup to the entire surface of the face, but ignoring the area around the eyes. Here, apply a lighter layer by applying with a brush.

The layer you apply (the same as the eye base) should be opaque and have the same shade as the rest. It should cover all imperfections (dots, discoloration). To avoid the “raccoon effect” you can apply lighter or shinier eye shadows. By giving your eyelids a shine and applying shadows to give them the impression of blurred accents, you will even out the shades on your face.

If you find that the area of bags under your eyes is much lighter than the rest of your face, you can balance it by applying a blush to your cheeks. Such a procedure will distract from undesirable places. You will get the same effect by applying a thicker layer of lipstick to the lips or by using a sharper color, for example red.
