Layering that with a touch of highlighter helps tremendously. Also, I've recently discovered that Benefit Shy Beam, of all things, is quite brilliant for this purpose.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-6704286308495380032016-03-03T14:03:16.941-05:002016-03-03T14:03:16.941-05:00Gorgeous look.Gorgeous look.Sexy Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132661910830426410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-44448796672393058582016-03-01T12:20:03.254-05:002016-03-01T12:20:03.254-05:00I adore that lippie, and your face of the day Gaia...I adore that lippie, and your face of the day Gaia, hope to try out the suggested substitute as I'm all about coral-reds now!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04799815810869706346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-68302548382311279312016-02-26T18:32:00.016-05:002016-02-26T18:32:00.016-05:00You know what I am going to write !!!! ----- Yes -...You know what I am going to write !!!! ----- Yes ----- the red lippie looks fab on you Gaia !!!! :) lady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-31421619913438792722016-02-26T14:10:58.146-05:002016-02-26T14:10:58.146-05:00Ha ha ha...can't stop chuckling over "A 5...Ha ha ha...can't stop chuckling over "A 5 year old with Larry King eyes"! :)SoSuSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890365691156994507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-44785133983375193082016-02-26T10:03:38.733-05:002016-02-26T10:03:38.733-05:00Thanks, Sarah.

I also have dark circles. People actually ask me (if I'm not wearing concealer) if I have black eyes! I have had really good luck using a peach-toned color corrector under my concealer. Urban Decay just released a batch of color correctors which are nice. The key for me is the peach tone to cancel out the bluish tone. Also I use a silicone primer first (Smashbox makes one specifically for under the eye). Caroline Hirons (skincare goddess) just did a post on her blog this week about undereye circles if you want to check it out. Sorry to butt in but once I figured out the trick of the color correcting I was so delighted so thought I'd share!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873079112057117092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-38583673120792258972016-02-25T16:46:02.580-05:002016-02-25T16:46:02.580-05:00Oh, to live near a city with great restaurants.

They really do sound like the perfect answer. Hope they really cover up though. Oh yeah, some of my problem stems also from the shadows created by my under-eye luggage. So maybe I'll also look for something to decrease those bags. THANKS SO VERY MUCH for your advice/assistance. Take care & hug the kitties for me. *JW*https://www.blogger.com/profile/16957967785557340716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-32897520868619118942016-02-25T16:12:35.607-05:002016-02-25T16:12:35.607-05:00We had dinner at Gato (gatonyc.com), one of our fa...We had dinner at Gato (gatonyc.com), one of our favorite restaurants. Their cauliflower is to die for, and we had a divine cheesecake made of fromage blanc. It's my catnip.<br /><br />As for under-eye circles... Oy. I can only talk from my perspective and experience, so not sure how helpful it's going to be, but I'll try. First, not all dark circles are created evenly. Mine are a result of face structure. If you look at my photos you can see that my eyes are sunken about half an inch deep into my skull. I looked this way as a toddler and a little girl, so I can't even blame aging. Can you imagine? A 5 year old with Larry King eyes? To be even more specific, my cheek bones don't do the nice thing of sticking out to the side, making the face appear chiseled. Instead, they protrude straight ahead, creating that extra shadow under the eye. So I can't exactly cover it up the way someone who hasn't slept well should be able to do. <br />My method is using a highlighting product (Touche Eclat and its equivalents) or a do a gentle color correcting (Armani). In any case, regular concealers are too dry on thin under eye skin and tend to cake, emphasize skin texture, and look crappy in general. That includes my beloved Cle de Peau, which I only use to cover blemishes or even out the color around the nose or chin. I can't even imagine let EL Double Wear anywhere around my eyes. I suspect it's meant for much younger skin. There are a few classic concealers that are kinder to that area and can work in that triangle thing: Ellis Faas, Armani (the corrector's sibling), and Clinique Airbrush Concealer. The new serum concealers seem to be the perfect answer, though, because the silicone makes them glide over the skin and create a smooth surface. There's no caking with this texture, but it does take them a while to set properly. Still, worth your time to get to the counter and seek out a good color match.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-53168790707096204242016-02-25T15:39:42.786-05:002016-02-25T15:39:42.786-05:00First of all: Another WINNING look...applause!

I have very, very dark under-eye circles. I use either Cle de Peau stick concealer or Estee Lauder Double Wear Double Coverage Camouflage Makeup, both used in the well-blended triangle you mentioned. Both look awful because they cake up in my little wrinkles. Forgot to mention that I use Hourglass Veil primer first. Do you think the Bobbi Brown you mentioned above might be the answer? Covering the darkness is the prime concern, with the ugly caking coming in a close second. THANKS...if you have the time to give a teeny bit of advice. P.S. As always, continuing to LOVE your blog. *JW*https://www.blogger.com/profile/16957967785557340716noreply@blogger.com
