The Eyes Have It

You have the at-home airbrush makeup system of your choice. You have the color-matched foundation shades and the beauty essentials. You are getting pretty good at applying a full face of long-lasting foundation. But you are wondering how to handle small areas, like around your eyes.

It might seem like it’s hard to get those real fine details with the airbrush stylus since it covers a wide area so quickly.  But one of the benefits of the stylus is that detail work is possible.

How Do I Cover Under Eye Shadows?

There are lots of options for this issue, so it’s just a matter of finding what works for you.

A Range of Foundation Shades

Use a shade lighter than your regular foundation as a concealer. Put just a couple of drops in the stylus and then bring the stylus closer to your face than when you apply the foundation. Treat the stylus like a pen and lightly apply the foundation under your eyes.

If you are having trouble getting the makeup close to your eyeline, try closing your eyes when you apply it, being sure to spray over and around the lash line (the foundation will get on your eyelashes, but you can wipe it off or just apply mascara over it).

Eye with No Makeup

You can also try putting just a drop of the airbrush foundation on your fingertip or a cotton swab and press it gently under your eyes.

Boost-It would also work well here, since it can help soften those shadows, while the Minus-10 can help fill in crows feet.

How Do I Cover Under Eye Wrinkles?

Beautiful Eye

Speaking of under eye wrinkles, airbrush makeup can really help with those, too. Start with the Minus-10 gel. It will help smooth and fill in those fine lines around the eyes. It also finishes silky so your foundation will go on smoother.

If you have a couple of deeper lines, you can take a creamy concealer and press it gently into the creases, filling them in a bit. Then proceed with your makeup as usual.

BONUS TIP: The main thing to remember when trying to cover wrinkles is to make sure you don’t make any faces. Make sure your face is relaxed as you apply your makeup, or everything will shift and settle strangely and you won’t get the coverage you want.
