THE
TREATMENT
Would you consider a
non-surgical procedure?
“Filler can pad out the
tear trough – that groove
which sets in under
your eyes,” explains Dr
Wassim Takouk, who
offers the treatment at
his private Kensington
clinic, £450. “As well as
adding volume, droplets
of filler sitting below
the skin reflect light –
so shadows are less
noticeable.” WORDS: ELLE SIXSMITH PHOTOS: GORUNWAY
Celebrity and BAFTA
award-winning make-up
artist Morag Ross speaks
about the art of concealment...
1 “Start by smoothing on an
eye cream then, to de-puff, take
your middle fingers in circular
motions around the eye area
to your temples, then run them
down your jaw and neck.”
2 “A colour correcting primer
is key. Peach neutralises blue
and purple, pink cancels out
grey and if your circles have a
slightly brown undertone, opt
for an orange-hued one to lift.”
3 “When choosing your
concealer, pick a shade
that’s slightly lighter than your
foundation. Liquid consistencies
are best for thin skin and help
plump up fine lines. Waxy
concealers are ideal for full
coverage. Apply a thin veil in
a V shape from the tear duct,
finishing at the outer corner
of the eye. Gently press the
product into the skin and apply
in layers – too much concealer
can draw attention to the area
and cause creasing.”
4 “Take a fluffy brush and finish
with a light dusting of loose
powder to set the area.”
