Alternative to expensive concealer

This tip is for those who are struggling with dark eye shadows like me. This alternative to expensive concealer makes your eyes shine.

For years, I was annoyed by the prices for concealers, which ultimately did not bring the desired effect. Either they did not really cover or they settled after a short time in the eyelid crease and under the eye.

Now I successfully cover my eye shadows by doing the following:


Apply eye cream, even on the moving lid.

Then, with the lightest compact powder you get, powder the eyelid and under the eye, spread well and create a nice smooth transition.

Finally, I still dab a tiny amount of baby or body oil, to prevent any dehydration. But watch out: here already less than the size of a pinhead for both eyes. (Meanwhile, in the slightly higher price segment, even moisturizing compact powders are available).

As an alternative to applying with the powder puff included powder puff can also be used very well with a make-up brush.

If you calculate that you will get a compact powder for less than 5 Euros, and if you think about how long it will last, you'll save a lot of money over the expensive concealers in the course of the year.
