It sounds like a prank, but beauty expert Deepica Mutyala swears by the trick of putting red lipstick on your eyes to cover dark circles. Her YouTube video tutorial has been going viral on a beauty sensation just weeks after she posted it in early January. Within a month, it’s been watched nearly 4 million times. Isn’t that something?
The proof is in the photos. I was worried a red lipstick would be too obvious on my pale skin, so I didn’t apply liberally. I probably could have used a bit more to completely get rid of any shadows under my eyes.
Her theory behind it is an old makeup artist trick. You’re basically canceling out the dark circles by using the opposite color on the color wheel. There are several color correcting makeup products on the market that do the same thing. Using lipstick is just a DIY version of them. And not one red lipstick fits all. Mutyala’s orange red shad of lipstick works well on her tan skin, while someone with a fair complexion will need to use a blue hued red.
