Testing Pinterest: Red Lipstick Concealer!?

Yikes. No blog posts in a week! To be fair, gread school is hard. Itès not defeating me, but it is eating my lunch every day.

So, let's get back to blogging.

First it appeared on Birchbox, then Pinterest, then I began seeing it everywhere, always with the very click-bait title of “The Concealer Trick You Won’t Believe Works!” What is the trick? Red lipstick under your eyes to combat dark circles. Um. What?

This sounds ridiculous, but it seems to work on the girl who originally posted this. But would it work for me? I decided to put it to the test. In theory, this sounds great, but I was concerned that because I am so much fairer than the model used that it wouldn’t work, or that my concealer would not be able to cover up the red ring under my eyes.

Regular face, bags and all.

So, I jumped right in there with a red lipstick. I just went for it.

I was afraid. Look at this mess!

This a photo with my usual amount of foundation on only. Does it work? It sure does. I don't think I'll be switching to this permanently, but if you ever get stuck with only red lipstick and no concealer, maybe this will help you out.

Would you try this? No?
