If you struggle with dark under-eye circles, you know just how important concealer is. This makeup essential is your best weapon against pesty dark circles, and can even help hide other imperfections and signs of aging like crow’s feet and wrinkles. But, you need to make sure that you’re using the right brand and formula to get the results you want.
How To Hide Dark Circles“The concealer you use to hide undereye darkness is not the same concealer you use to hide a blemish,” celebrity makeup artist Katey Denno says. When choosing your concealer shade, Denno says that concealers with peach or orange tones are your best bet for combating dark circles since they add a purple hue to the under-eyes. If you’re trying to hide that you were out all night or didn’t get enough sleep, Denno’s go-to trick is mixing undereye specific concealer with your standard skin tone matching.
It’s also important to prep your under-eyes before applying concealer to prevent any caking or creasing. To do this, Tim Quinn, who is Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Face Designer, suggests using an eye cream and then adding color corrector to the corner of the eyes to brighten. “I like to make small dashes like a sunburst,” he says of his application technique.
