All you need to do is to learn how to apply your make-up. One of the keys to hide all this unwanted eye puffiness is right application and technique. Here are several ways of applying make-up to get rid of your eye puffiness:
• The very first thing to do is to smooth the eye surface. You need to depuff the eye area. Believe it or not, placing a spoon around your eye can definitely work. This is an old way of hiding your eye puffiness. The same effect applies for the cucumber and tea bags. Remember that the spoon should be cool enough to refresh your eyes. The coolness of the cucumber and the spoon can reduce the inflammation in your eye. The tannic acid inside the tea bags can also reduce the inflammation of your eyes. It can draw all the liquid out of your eyes that causes eye puffiness.
• You have to increase the blood circulation around the area of your eyes by washing your face with cold water. It is important to put some moisturizer on your face, but avoid using heavy creams around the eye area. The cream will only make your eye to build up extra moisture. It can only make your eye a lot puffier.
• Concealers and foundations can also be use on your face, but avoid putting darker concealer and foundation around the eye area. If you want to use heavy concealers and foundations around the eye make sure that it is two tones fairer than your original skin color. To gently apply your make-up, you can use your index finger.
• You may also camouflage the area if needed. Another way to hide your eye puffiness is to use a cream with sparkling shimmer beneath the eye surface and just above your cheekbones. This effect can draw away the attention from your eye puffiness. You can also take away the attention of people to your eye by applying darker eye liner together with dark mascara.
Eye puffiness can definitely affect your everyday activities. It can also lower down your self confidence and self esteem. Sometimes, a person that suffers from eye puffiness does not want to go out. In this case, your social activities can be affected. By using all of these ideas, you can ensure that your eye puffiness will not get in the way with your everyday activities.
