Makeup artist names product that 'smooths out fine lines and wrinkles' and reduces appearance of dark circles

Gemma spoke on the YouTube channel Pampered Wolf about how she reduces the appearance of dark circles.

She said: "Before my makeup application, I prepare the under-eye area a little bit further with a couple of eye patches."

The makeup artist uses eye patches that do not contain caffeine, and instead picks moisturising ones that "seriously hydrate the under-eye area".

Gemma explained: "The eye patches smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, creating a really beautiful canvas for your concealer to sit on.

"While the eye patches are doing their thing, move on to the rest of your makeup and remove them as soon as you are ready for concealer."

The content creator recommended using products that are "lightweight and very hydrating underneath the eye" to plump up your skin.

Gemma said: "The whole point of this process is to make you look fresher but still natural. If you want to look natural, less is definitely more. The fewer products you apply underneath the eye, the better it will look at the end of the day."

While a colour corrector is an excellent choice for reducing the appearance of dark circles, the makeup artist recommended "a concealer with full coverage".

The YouTuber said: "Trust me, there is a method to my madness. I apply the concealer to the palm of my hand to warm the product up and then very lightly apply a little bit of it to the stipple on the end of my brush.

"Just pat a little bit of the concealer over the areas of darkness. Do not drag the brush and go over it from side to side."
