Recently, I’ve come across a clever technique involving merely two products that can deliver a perfected, ‘snatched’ undereye appearance in minutes.
Understanding a ‘Snatched’ Undereye:
In beauty lingo, ‘snatched’ refers to a polished, defined, and perfected aesthetic. A ‘snatched’ undereye results in a luminous, smooth, and wrinkle-free appearance that not only complements your overall makeup but also creates an illusion of a more rested and youthful look.
Your Two Essential Products:
The trick lies in the correct use of two essential products – a quality concealer and setting powder.
Concealer
An essential element in this technique is a high-coverage concealer. One that tops my list is the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. Known for its exceptional coverage, creamy consistency that blends effortlessly, and a wide array of shades, it’s perfect for this trick.
Setting Powder
A lightweight, finely milled setting powder is your second product of choice. I highly recommend the Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder. It’s renowned for its ability to set makeup without appearing overly heavy or settling into the skin’s crevices.
Steps to Attain Snatched Undereyes:
- Prepare Your Skin: It’s crucial to commence with a well-hydrated face. This prep step ensures smooth makeup application and prevents product from sticking to any dry areas.
- Concealer Application: Apply your concealer in an upside-down triangle pattern under your eyes. This technique helps cover any dark circles and draws light to the center of your face, providing a lifting effect.
- Blend to Perfection: Utilize a damp beauty sponge to blend your concealer. The secret to a seamless finish lies in diligent blending!
- Set with Powder: Immediately after blending your concealer, apply your setting powder with a brush. This step locks your concealer in place and prevents it from developing creases.
- Baking, if Required: For persistently creased undereyes or when you want a high-drama, flawless look, let your setting powder ‘bake’, or sit, on your skin for 5-10 minutes. Then, dust off any excess.
And voila! With just two products and these simple steps, you’ll have ‘snatched’ undereyes that will elevate your entire makeup look. This technique works wonders for those long days when you need your makeup to stay in place or for special occasions when you want to look extra fabulous.
