Choose a concealer
Part 1: Concealer FormulaChoose a concealer
First, things first, do not pick a formula that gives coverage that is too sheer. The darker your circles, the fuller the coverage needed. Generally, you have four options, cake, stick, cream, or pen. I would suggest using a stick, cream or pen.
Cake Concealers: A cake concealer will give the heaviest coverage; however, it can be far too dense for most people and needs to be applied with caution for that very reason.
Stick & Cream Concealers: Sticks and creams fall next in line as far as thickness, and both give great medium to heavy coverage. The difference, however, is sticks work best on oily skin or in warmer months. When it’s hot outside, sticks tend to stay put and won’t rub off as easily. In contrast, creams work better in colder months, as well as on dry and mature skin. Of the two, creams are the most moisturizing.
Pen Concealers: Lastly, we have pens, which provide generally light to medium coverage. If you have very dark circles, they might not provide enough help with hiding. A plus, however, is that pens do work quite well if you have fine lines under your eyes. Being a thinner formula, they won’t build up too heavy, and thus, they won’t settle too much into your fine lines.
Examples of Different Concealer Formulas to Hide Dark Circles:
Part 2: Color
TIP 1: To steer clear of your concealer leaving a grey cast under your eyes, you want to avoid a color that is too light and use one that is roughly just a ½ shade to 2 shades (at the very most) lighter than the skin color right below your eyes.TIP 2: It’s important to note that most people who are looking to hide dark undereye circles may have to use a different concealer for their eyes then they use on other parts of their face. Many concealers have subtle undertones that work perfectly at countering the color of dark circles.
- Take a look at the natural undertone (color) of your dark circles first. Do your dark circles have a hint of purple to them? If so, that means they have a purple undertone, in which case, you should use a concealer with a yellow or golden tone to cancel out the purple.
- If you notice some redness, you want to look for a concealer with an olive tone to cancel out the red. But you can also try one with a yellow tone and see if that covers sufficiently.
- If your dark circles have a blue or brown undertone, look for a concealer with an orange or peach tone.
- Darker skin tones will do better with orange. Lighter skin tones do best with peach. More on selecting concealer undertones…
- In that instance, you could apply the color corrector cream first.
- Then you would take your regular concealer and lightly pat or tap it in on top. Since color-correcting creams are not generally subtle, a concealer on top of it is definitely a must!
Apply the concealer
Apply the concealer
1) First, always prep the skin using an eye moisturizer, allow it to settle into your skin for a few minutes. An eye cream always helps with a smooth application.
2) Optional, you can apply your foundation next (full face and under the eyes) or wait until after having applied your concealer.
3) Next, swipe some of the concealer on the back of your hand to warm it up a bit. The natural heat from your hand will soften it and make for better blending.
4) Using your concealer brush, apply the concealer in the shape of an upside-down triangle. Just think of the base of the triangle as resting below your eye.
What I like to do is create the outline of the triangle with my brush, then I will go back in with my brush and semi-fill it in with a few lines, dots, or dashes. When filling in, concentrate the majority of your concealer under the eye where the dark circles are most prominent.
5) You may also want to apply some concealer to the part of your eye close to the bridge of your nose (inner corner). This area tends to get a bit shadowy and doing so can brighten and open up the eye area.
6) Don’t forget to blend beauties! You can do so by using a brush, sponge, or your fingers (the warmth from them can sometimes help). With whichever option you choose, you can go in, gently patting and tapping. Always tap and pat, never rub. You want to do this gently and with a very light hand to prevent picking back up too much concealer from the darkest areas.
Apply Concealer to the inner corner of the eye near the nose and under the eye in a triangle.
PRO TIP When Using Concealer:
If after applying your concealer you notice an obvious undertone that doesn’t look natural (or looks very light in contrast to the rest of your face), you want to continue to use your foundation to balance the concealer’s tone out more. This can be done by lightly stippling (tapping or patting) on the foundation gently and blending out any visible transitions between the undereye area and the rest of the face. Do not sweep or rub. Using a stippling brush like this one can also help.

Routine
Nobody on PE forums gets the importance of the two stages – make bigger, keep bigger. And so nobody realises the routine is the important thing.
And your routine is going to be based on you because some of you live with parents and roommates and some live alone and workin offices or whatever.
I lived with roommates when I started this, so had to be careful.
Here’s my routine with all the elements.
1. Get up and in morning do bundled stretches and A stretches to get my dick long.
2. Then hang if I have time for 20 minutes or so to really get dick long
3. Put on sleeve and bathmate for 5-10 minutes in shower
4. If alone, then SSJ and another bathmate session
5. After bathmate, leave dick to relax a bit while I get dressed
6. Get a light weight vacuum sleeve and weight (1lb) and keep it on all day
7. During day, take sleeve off to piss and do some light A-stretches if dick doesn’t feel fatigued
8. Evening: A stretches before bed
