What ages you most? Surprisingly, it might not be wrinkles or gray hair, but dark circles under your eyes. ~mayo clinic staff

Julie Farley at The Make-up Studio has the solution for covering
those unwanted dark circles.

The secret lies in color theory and Julie always references the color wheel to make it simple. When concealing blue/purple under eye circles you’ll want to use a concealer that is a peach/salmon color which is usually opposite on the color wheel.

In three easy steps you can minimize your dark circles.

• Always use a hydrating eye cream before applying under eye concealer. A personal favorite of Julie Farley’s is “Kiehl’s creamy avocado eye” treatment.
• Apply concealer with a concealer brush and stipple in with finger. A customer favorite is “Girlactic C2 concealer”.
• It’s very important to set the concealer with a colorless powder. A best seller at The Make-up Studio is “Alison Raffaele’s transparent finish powder”.

Remember, you want to see the EFFECTS of the makeup, not SEE the makeup when applied correctly!
