The "gradient concealer". How does it help lighten the lower eyes?

The trend of gradient colors has been a popular beauty trend for many years, from nail designs to hair colors, and the gradient color scheme plays a role in quickly enhancing any look.

Therefore, it was not surprising that beauty experts continued their endeavors aimed at finding new and innovative ways to take advantage of the fashion of gradient colors to enhance the appearance and increase the look with glamor and beauty.

What is new now, according to what is popular in “Tik Tok”, is that women start experimenting with a trend known as “gradient concealer”, to get a gradual glow effect under the eyes in a very distinctive way.

It seems clear how much interaction the platform's users have with this new trend, as the hashtag #ombreundereyes has garnered more than 6 million views so far, so in the following lines we review more details that explain this trend and how to benefit from it.

What is the "gradient concealer" trend?

The beginning of the popularity of this trend was through a clip published by a beautician called "Claudia Sayed" through her account on "Tik Tok", in which she explained the steps through which the color gradient can be used to lighten the area under the eyes.

In the video, Claudia used three shades of liquid concealer and two shades of liquid blush.

I began by applying a concealer that was two or three shades lighter than my foundation, focusing on the inner corner of the eye. Following that, I dabbed a small amount of the other two types of concealer – one lighter than the foundation and another that closely matched the foundation – towards the center of the under-eye area.

Next, she delicately added a touch of both light pink and dark pink blush to the outer corner of the eye, marking the initial phase of her unique concealer application technique.

Once you have finished applying the concealer and blush from lighter to darker, you can start at this stage with the blending step using a sponge or makeup brush that you prefer.

In this trend, it is good to start blending from the inner corner of the eye, leaving the darkest shades of blush for the last stage.

Then, you can apply a light layer of translucent setting powder using a soft powder brush.

And if you want to enhance the appearance of the look even better, you can put a powder blush on the high points of the face, a step that can help deepen the contrast of the color gradation.
