Hi, my name is Janelle Corey. I'm a professional makeup artist, and I'm going to show you how to apply well rested eye makeup for peach skin. For this, you'll need three products: concealer, some lotion and a primer. You'll start out with a lotion, and if you can get a lotion with caffeine in it, that's the best because it instantly depuffs. It takes your eyes down right away, any kind of good quality lotion will also have you know, a lot of soothing ingredients like Vitamin E and other things and that really helps. You can either apply this with a concealer brush like so or you can always use the tip of your ring finger, always the ring finger though. It's the one with the least callouses. It's the softest for your skin. So, I'm just going to put a tiny bit of lotion, work it into my finger a little bit and I'm going to just dab it underneath my eye. You'll want to let that set for just a moment and then you're going to apply your primer. I'm just going to take a little bit of the primer, put a tiny bit onto my hand and take my concealer brush or my packing brush, dab it and then you're going to pack it onto your skin, right underneath your eyes and this is a collagen based primer so it helps to fill in any fine lines or pores and it just gives you a really smooth surface for your concealer, and then I'm going to take a tiny bit of my concealer, put it onto my hand, take my concealer or foundation brush and then I'm going to buff it under my eye. Anytime you do this you kind of want to finish with a circular motion and that will just help to blend everything together. Remember your concealer should be about a half shade lighter to a shade lighter than your regular foundation. Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day, stay hydrated. This will help puffiness in the morning. It will help your overall general health and you know, you'll feel better. It will help your eyes look well rested without all that makeup. My name is Janelle Corey. Thanks for watching.
