from happening, never ever skip the step of applying primer under your eyes and above your lids.

STEP 2: CONCEAL YOUR BELMISHES AWAY

Dark circles totally disrupts the look of smokey eyes. So apply concealer on the blemishes around

your eye area.Blend it well by either using a makeup sponge or by using your finger. After applying

concealer, use a brush to apply translucent powder so that your make up stays in place till the very

end.

brown, blue, bottle green and so forth.
