Prepping under the eye with a proper moisturizer is vital to help prevent any exaggeration of fine lines. A properly hydrated under eye will make you look more refreshed and awake. Here are some of my favourite eye creams to use before concealer.
MAC Cosmetics Fast Response Eye Cream has been a favourite of mine ever since my early MAC days. This product is excellent for makeup applications because it is an instant fix! A caffeinated cream that helps diminish the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. This product is very hydrating which is important when putting makeup on top of it. I love using this product for weddings because every bride that sits in my chair says "please help me with these bags and dark circles". It is like an 8 hour sleep in a tube. Let's be honest you aren't getting that much sleep before your wedding.
Fresh Beauty's Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Cream is a recent product that I have tried and I really love it! This product does it all, it reduces the look of dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness. It is fast absorbing which is perfect for when you are putting concealer on top. The product is very hydrating and feels great on the skin. Contains many good for you ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Black Tea Complex, Noni Fruit Juice, Vitamins C and E. Over time it reduces the signs of aging for a more smooth and younger look.
It Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream is another fabulous product. It was developed with plastic surgeons and has so many great benefits. It is hydrating, firming, and helps to smooth out fine lines. There are so many good for your skin ingredients such as, ceramics, chrysin, liquorice root, avocado, and squalene. All these products help keep the skin very hydrated. Over time it will increase hydration, improve the skin barrier, and will firm up under the eye.
