How to get smooth undereye makeup using a Powderpuff

There's a reason that Powderpuffs are going viral on Tiktok! Using a powderpuff for flawless undereye makeup can be a game-changer when it comes to achieving a smooth and seamless finish. The soft texture of a powderpuff helps to distribute powder evenly, minimize creasing, and set your concealer for long-lasting wear. Follow these step-by-step instructions to make the most out of this technique:

Prepare your undereye area: Before applying any makeup, it's essential to start with a clean canvas. Gently cleanse your undereye area and moisturize it to ensure a smooth and hydrated surface. Allow the moisturizer to absorb fully before moving on to the next step. This helps create a smooth base for your concealer and powder.

Extra tip! For an extra boost of hydration and brightness, consider using the UniGlow Bright Eyes Serum to prepare your undereye area. This serum is specifically formulated to brighten, tighten, and smooth the delicate skin around the eyes. Its lightweight formula is enriched with vitamin C & hyaluronic acid -  which work together to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. Before applying your moisturizer, gently pat a small amount of the serum onto your undereye area and let it absorb fully. This will not only prep your skin for makeup application but also provide added benefits such as improved skin texture and radiance.

Apply concealer: Use a small concealer brush or your fingertips to apply a thin layer of a creamy, lightweight concealer specifically formulated for the undereye area. Start from the inner corner and gently pat the concealer onto the skin, blending it outwards. Be mindful not to tug or pull on the delicate skin around your eyes. Applying the concealer with a light hand helps to avoid a heavy, cakey appearance.

Choose a loose setting powder: Opt for a finely milled loose setting powder that matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter. Loose powders are ideal for undereye makeup as they provide a lightweight and natural finish. Avoid using pressed powders, as they tend to be denser and can accentuate fine lines and creases

 Load the powderpuff: To ensure an even application, lightly press the powderpuff onto the surface of the loose setting powder. This allows the puff to pick up an adequate amount of product. Gently tap or shake off any excess powder to prevent over application

Press and roll technique: Starting from the inner corner of your undereye area, gently press the powderpuff against your skin. Instead of dragging or swiping, use a rolling motion to apply the powder. This technique helps to distribute the product evenly and prevents the disturbance of the concealer. Gradually work your way across the undereye area, moving towards the outer corner. Ensure that you cover the entire undereye area, extending the application slightly beyond the outer corner for a seamless finish.

 Repeat the process if necessary: If you require additional coverage or prefer a more matte appearance, repeat the pressing and rolling technique with the powderpuff. Apply a thin layer of powder at a time to prevent buildup or heaviness

Blend and set: Once you've applied the powder with the powderpuff, take a clean, fluffy brush and lightly blend the powder into the skin. This helps to remove any excess product and ensures a more natural finish. The blending process also helps to further set the concealer and create a seamless transition between the undereye area and the rest of your complexion

Check for any creasing: After completing the application, carefully examine your undereye area for any signs of creasing or unevenness. If you notice any areas that require additional attention, use your fingertips or a small brush to gently blend out the product and smooth out any creases.

Remember, using a powderpuff for undereye makeup is all about precision and control. It's crucial to start with a small amount of powder and build up gradually, as you can always add more if needed. Additionally, choose a powder that matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter to avoid a noticeable contrast. By following these steps and techniques, you can achieve flawless undereye makeup that lasts throughout the day while maintaining a natural and seamless appearance.
