How To Disguise Dark Circles…
Dark circles can happen to anyone of any age, however, there are factors that contribute to them, this can be tiredness, hereditary, or good old fashioned dehydration. Sounds obvious but drinking plenty of water is something we can forget on a daily basis but it can make a big difference.
The truth is the skin is scientifically thinner under the eyes, in fact the skin under the eyes is one of the thinnest areas of the body, this causes blood vessels to show a lot easier.
Supplements can be used to help the skin glow, I recommend
Nature's Bounty Optimal Solutions Hair Skin & Nails Extra Strength
Illamasqua Skin Base Concealer - You'll need to find your shade in this, I like to go a shade lighter for under eyes as it brightens and softens the whole face.
Nars Soft Matte Concealer - If you want to make your own professional palette I use the Nars pot concealer, this is easy to get out and then decant into your very own palette.
Illamasqua Pressed Powder - Powder stops any oily patches from forming and helps keep your concealer in place.
So first of all you will need:
A concealer I recommend Illamasqua Skin Base Concealer for individual concealer - I think its a great idea to create your own palette which is custom to your main clientele, this can be certain brands and colours so its easy and hygienic when working with the public. Its easier to use concealers from a pot to make the palette, I love the Nars Soft Matte Concealer.

Face Chart
Below is a face chart in which you can download and print out for your own preference. It shows where products should be applied to create the most complimenting finish for the skin. Always remember lighter colours diffuse the skin out, dark colours (contour) sink the skin in.
