MONDAY'S MAKEUP TIP - HOW TO LIGHTEN UNDER EYE CIRCLES

Today's makeup tip from Elke Von Freudenberg is another great piece of advice if you are planning to be bride AND makeup artist all on the same day. Check out last weeks' tip here if you missed it.

For under eye circles, the easiest way to lighten them is with an opposite color applied on top first. If your darkness is gray, lightly brush a soft pink eye shadow on clean skin first, and then apply your foundation. If the darkness is more blue, try a matte light peach shadow. You'll find yourself using much less concealer and foundation.
