Jinena: Hi, I'm Jinena (Ph) with Picture Perfect Makeup. Here I am in Washington DC at PRatPartners where I am going to be showing Megan how to cover up her dark circles. So, we are going to use a few products. First, we are going to actually use our corrector. Our corrector has more of a pink tone so it is really going to get in the corner of the eye area to neutralize any of the darkness that we have. You're going to need a brush. So, we are going to get it right in the corner of the eye area and also bring it wherever there is a little more darkness. We're going to want to tap with our finger. You justly always want to tap and not rub. If you notice the difference between the two eyes, you can see that we have covered all the darkness that Megan had in the corner of her eye area. Then, we are going to follow with the actual concealer. The concealer is going to be more of a yellow tone, it is going to really help to neutralize lift, lighten and brighten underneath her eye area. We want to bring the concealer all the way up to her lash line to really make sure that she brightens underneath eye area. And the last part of covering up your dark circles that you want to do at the end is you want to dust it with translucent power over top. So, you want to grab your brush, make sure you always tap the excess and you want to set. So, that way throughout the day it doesnt crease and there you go. You can actually see the difference between the two eyes. Megan looks a lot brighter now and we've covered her dark circles. .
