What's your current technique to apply concealer underneath your eye?

What's your current technique to apply concealer underneath your eye?

I apply a dab (I usually use liquid) of the product in the under eye area but more toward the top of my cheek bone, and then I use a synthetic foundation brush to diffuse and buff most of it out.

Eyeshadow Primer

I think it’s well-worth using for someone who routinely wears eyeshadow, even if one can find formulas that are longer-wearing. I like more translucent, silicone-like primers that help smooth out the lid and improve adhesion, grip, and longevity but aren’t tacky or thick. I find the latter difficult to apply and blend out over.

Gucci Sheer Lipstick Swatches

Here are swatches of all 18 shades of Gucci Sheer Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) currently available. The brand has three different finishes and at $42 a pop, that's a bit above my budget to buy all of the shades across the three ranges, so I thought the sheerer, more luminous line would be fitting...

How useful are brands' promotional swatches to you?

How useful are brands' promotional swatches to you?

A lot of them are heavily edited that they’ve lost meaning; when they look nearly digitally stamped on or exactly the same across three skin tones, they aren’t very useful. I like when they are well-done but still have a foot, or at least a toe, in reality.
