3 Steps to Bright Hydrated Under Eyes

After having a baby – and the sleep deprivation that comes along with the newborn stage – my under eyes were in rough shape. Being over thirty doesn’t help, either. A few months ago my under eyes got really dry and flaky and I tried so many concealers and combinations of products to try to get bright, hydrated under eyes. I finally found a combination that works for me! Here are my 3 steps to bright hydrated under eyes.

Olehenriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream

Step 1 – Hydrate

Olehenriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream First, I apply this with my ring finger. After cleansing and moisturizing, but before any makeup. I pat it in and give it a little time to sink in. It’s rich and creamy and definitely adds a little brightness!

Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector

Concealer Brush

Step 2 – Brighten

Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector applied with brush Next, I use a brush to apply the Becca Corrector after my eye cream has settled in a bit. I have found that using a brush to tap the product in helps it blend well with my concealer. When I used my finger it just got really streaky. I use the light/medium shade.

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer

Beauty Blender

Step 3 – Conceal

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer applied with Beauty Blender Lastly, I get my beauty blender wet with warm water and then squeeze it out in a towel so it’s damp. Then, I put a dot of the Bye Bye Under Eye on the end and pat in a triangle under my eye. Literally just a tiny little dot – this stuff is full coverage and thick! I use the shade light to help with brightening.

One last tip – I see a lot of people using brightening powders under their eyes to set their makeup. I have found that this causes my makeup to settle into every little line and make me look 1,000 years old. No one wants that. Just a little tip.

That’s it! I spent so much time trying to find the right combination of products and this is what is working for me. I did the hard work so you don’t have to! If you try these 3 steps to bright hydrated under eyes let me know in the comments below!
