What's the best under-eye concealer for dark circles?

Answer 1

In applying concealers, using the right makeup techniques is important. Concealers are of a denser composition than regular foundations and are generally available in sticks, tubes, pots, and creams. Concealers can be used to cover blemishes, dark spots, ruddy areas, marks, veins, freckles or under eye circles.

Your concealer should be one shade lighter than your foundation (and only in extreme cases should you use a concealer two shades lighter).

Using a concealer that is too light or too pink will give the appearance of `owl eyes'. In other words, it will emphasize the dark area instead of concealing it. Apply Sacha's concealer with a small fine tipped brush for an accurate application. As with any other application, blending is the key.

Always set your concealer with a sheer, translucent powder to prevent creasing.

TIP: Be sure to cover the inside of the nose bridge and the outer corner of your eye where we tend to get dark areas.

TIP: You can remove years from your face by applying concealer to the little downward turning lines at the corner of your mouth.

Answer 2

Actually, I have a problem with dark undereye circles too. I've always used CoverGirl CG Smoothers like of stick concealer in Neutralizer. If your undereye circles are a certain color, like brownish tinted, greenish tinted, etc... look for concealers that are colored. You will need the color opposite the color of your undereye circles. Look up a artists color wheel to find the colors if you don't know they're direct opposite.

If they're greenish - Use a red-hued stick
If they're yellowish - Use a purple-hued stick
et cetera

I was reading in a Galmour Magazine at work actually and they had a makeover on a woman who had olive-colored skin. It was performed by the lady, Carmindy (sp?) that does the makeup for the show "What Not to Wear" on TLC. I've noticed that lots of women with that skin-tone have horrible undereye circles. They used this on her: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml;jsessionid=45TM4U0ONB5INLAUCLBBXCQ?id=P1278&site=inktomi&group=datafeed&creative=datafeed&promocode=10&cm_mmc=us_search-_-YahooPI-_-datafeed-_-allpdts&_requestid=92616

It's a bit expensive, you barely use any. Just a small like from the alcove between the inside corner of your eye and nose... down to the top of your cheek, then blend. It really looked fantastic, no joke, and it didnt look pink at all, very nice. I haven't tried it yet myself but I ordered one from ths site and I should be getting it soon ^__^ But if you're going the cheaper route, liquid and stick concealers are good if you find the right color. Make sure you cake it up a bit on your finger when applying and pat to blend, not smear. It tends to cover better that way.
