It's important to hydrate and prime the under-eye
area first. Concealer will appear cakey and artificial on dry skin. Pat
on gently as you would an eye cream.
Now use a color corrector to cancel out the
initial darkness so your concealer doesn't have to work so hard. Apply
in a fanned-out shape in the triangular area below your eye.

Next, we get to the concealing! A cream concealer
works best, melting into the under-eye area. Instead of just applying
to the half moon below your eye, brighten up the entire area under the
eye by applying it in a fan shape. This will light up your face and
eliminate the reverse racoon-eye look.
You'll want to set all your hard work with
powder. I am using the yellow-toned Ben Nye's Banana Powder but any
translucent powder works fine.

For a beautiful finishing touch, highlight the orbital bone, the c-shaped area around the eye socket, with a powder highlighter.
