Hi, my name is Jamie Hoover with faceitjamie.com, and today I'll be showing you how to apply well-rested eye makeup for round eyes. The tools that you will need for this are an eye cream, a corrector, a concealer, and a powder, as well as a concealer brush and a blending brush. The first tool you'll need is your eye cream. So you're going to take a little bit and take that under the eyes just to hydrate and smooth out the fine lines. So, I'm just smoothly applying that all over underneath. All right. Next tool is your corrector, and this is an optional step. If you do have dark circles, it's nice because it actually takes away the darkness. So a corrector is going to be like either a pinky or a peach shade and it's just going to go in the corner of the eye where you really see the dark and it's going to highlight that. And it's really going to cover and neutralize the color. And I just kind of press it in afterwards and make sure it's covered really well. Now the color is not going to match your skin tone exactly, but it will cover the dark. And do the same on the other eye. My next tool is going to be my concealer. Now, this is going to be something that's going to match your skin tone, it might be like a shade or two lighter than your like what your face would be and it's going to go over your corrector and just smooth it over just to bring it back to your natural coloring. And I usually just sweep that all under the eye. And just kind of press it in to warm it up and you can also take that on the lid as well. To neutralize any of the darker colors. And this will just make you look like you're more awake. And then do the same on the other eye. My last tool is going to be a powder. You can use just like a sheer press powder or you can use an eye shadow that's kind of lighter. And then just kind of blend it in. If you're using like a really creamy concealer, this will help to set it so that it doesn't move on you throughout the day. And it won't pick up any eye shadows that you put over it. And with this product, you'll just make sure not to get too much on your brush or it will settle into your fine lines, so. Smooth it out first and then kind of bring it in. My name is Jamie Hoover with faceitjamie.com and that was how to apply eye makeup to make your eyes look more well rested for round eyes.
