Getting rid of the deep crease
Dark circles are characterized by sunken eyes. How to correct this feature of appearance? Makeup only.

The main tone is applied to the corrector. To fix, you can use light powder, it is applied to the upper eyelid, forehead and eyebrows.
As mentioned above, it is better to raise the eyebrows so that the eyes visually become wider. To do this, base shadows are applied along the hairline. The deep fold in this case remains intact. It is better to use nude colors, that is, natural ones. The exception is shades of pink, which create the effect of sore eyes. Shadows must be applied to the moving eyelid, excluding the outer corners of the eyes.
Lighten the crease with light shadows with a shimmery effect. It is better to apply them on the fold itself, not reaching the depression. Lightening the brow bone will help hide the deep crease.
Makeup technique
Shadows of the main color are applied just above the lash line. If we are talking about daytime makeup, then you should not shade the shadows completely throughout the eyelid. It is advisable to use an eyeliner and shadow of the same shade. In this case, you can lightly draw a line along the eyelashes with a pencil and rub it a little. Eyelashes as a result will become visually voluminous. The arrows should be the same length as the eyebrows. Finally, curl the eyelashes with tweezers and paint over with mascara.
When starting makeup for sunken eyes, do not forget about the lower eyelid. It needs to be prepared. Everyone knows that shadows and powder from the upper eyelid crumble to the lower one, so you need to clean this area with a cotton swab and work it out with a corrector. Corrective yellow shades work well with dark circles under the eyes, greenish shades help to cope with redness. Concealer on the lower eyelid can be covered with foundation or a light layer of light powder.
If you decide to line the lower eyelid with a pencil, then do not forget to soften the lines with a sponge or a special blending brush. The inner corners of the eyes are lightened with the base color of the shadows. When painting lashes with mascara, make sure that they do not stick together.

With the help of a light corrector, it is necessary to whiten the main part of the eyelid where the skin is darker. Black shadows are necessary to highlight the outer corners of the eyes. The eyeliner line is parallel to the highlight line. It is better to draw the arrow from the inner to the outer corner, respecting the limits and raising it to the eyebrow. If circular eyeliner is undesirable for sunken eyes, then you can bring the eyeliner on the lower eyelid to the middle and blend it. The mascara is applied very thickly. Such makeup is acceptable even if sunken eyes appear after blepharoplasty.
