He is the king of tricks. With that said, a simple concealer has at least six uses.
“In this very mobile area, the eyeshadows transfer very easily. So first of all, we moisturize it thoroughly and blend our concealer with a little eye contour treatment. We take it a shade lighter than the skin, but not too much to avoid the owl effect : Apply it all over the eye, blending towards the temples.

If necessary, add a little in the inner corner with a fine brush and don’t hesitate to apply it on the upper lid if it’s a little red. For very prominent blue circles, the concealer is not enough. First, put a little peach blush under the concealer and tap well to blend the two. If the ring is brown or bistre, we take more of an orange shade. To conceal the pockets, it’s more difficult, but you have to remember one principle. Everything gives volume and everything is a dark cavity. So we don’t put anything on the pocket curve, but to erase the shadow with a light pen below,” concludes Patrick Lorenz.

Three brilliant ideas

1. “Bordeaux” delicacy. Bordeaux, eggplant, plum… it’s the trend of the moment, declares Patrick Lorenz. “It works on everyone and is very flattering, especially in evening lighting.
Minimalists will be content with a pencil line on the upper lid, like a pencil, and will blend with the tips of the fingers. Add a touch of black mascara, a touch of mini pearl in the inner corner of the eye. If the contour of the eye is not very pronounced, you can also draw a line under the lower eyelid. An expert can raise the pencil on the natural fold of the eyelid and apply with a flat brush, slightly rising on the bone, so as not to close the eyes. And for the mouth? “We have a choice between playing it muted with just gloss or lip balm, but why not cherry red, fuchsia, nude or parma pink? But rather a cool shade,” advises Patrick Lorenz.

2. Golden line. At Hermès, Gregoris offers a fabulous collection of eyeliners that accentuate the eyes. “Line your upper lids with an eyeliner that will add sharpness and depth, then circle the lower lids using an iridescent pencil such as Trait d’Hermès Gold Permabrass or Mordoré pencil for more intensity. Between a black pencil and a gold pencil makes the game attractive and makes your eyes look like a work of art.Dare to use a deep and intense color mascara like Rouge H for modernity for a touch. Brighten your face with 24 Faubourg Or Rose powder, which will create an almost dreamlike effect on your skin. My favorite combination will be our autumn-winter 2024 beige shade, Trait d “With Hermès Rose Tomette pencil,” Gregoris concludes.

3. Skin gems. Another star of the chain, Violette, offers her Eye Bijoux, a collection of sticky rhinestones that can be worn as eyeliner or on any face, depending on the inspiration. “Tears of Belle”, inspired beauty and the beast By Jean Cocteau.
