I recently realized that when I completely cover my dark circles with concealer, I look like I came out of a model store and look a little creepy. maybe it’s just the shape of my eyes (asian almond eyes) but i think it makes me look stuffy and my eyes seem to be getting 20 times smaller. has anyone else found this to be the case? I guess being tired is just my gaze: ‘))

I tend to lightly conceal it all and then slightly accentuate my ‘bags’ with eyeshadow but keep it closer to my eyes.
It’s not just you! Completely concealing without adding dark or coloured eyeshadow to the lashline will make your eyes look smaller. Usually completely covering them works for certain types of makeup ( photos/videos ) but it doesn’t really look natural in real life 🙂
