Posted: Wed Jun 14, 2006 9:12 pm Post subject: Concealer for Dark, Dark Circles??? |
|
|
I have hereditary dark circles! Nothing really help- I tried with cucumbers mask, but nothing… I bought myself a concealer, but circles are still prominent. I know concealer and camouflaging is last step when dealing with dark circles under eyes, but I can’t find the right one!!! How do I choose a proper concealer? Do you have any suggestions for concealer for dark, dark circles? Please, help me!

It is most important that you find the right concealer shade! So, maybe this concealer you’ve bought is actually ok, but you haven’t choose the right shade…
When covering dark circles under eyes, you must select an under eye concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation. If you have really dark, dark circles, as you say you do, you should select 2 shades lighter concealer! Just be careful, is it not too bright…you could get a raccoon look
Ok – remember at leas 1 shade lighter than foundation or your natural skin tone!
Next thing about shades of concealers, and also very important!
You know how some people have bluish circles, some brownish… if your dark circles under eyes are blue or gray, the undertone of your concealer should be pale yellow. If your dark circles under eyes are brownish, you should use light blue or mauve undertones.
Remember, this about shades- at least one shade lighter… if you cannot define your colors, ask professional to help you! Anyway, test out the best colors at a department store. And let them help you! Tell makeup artist what you’re looking for, and together test few different types before you purchase anything.
I am sure you’ll manage! Good luck!

I love love love Maybellines concealer sticks...
I use the white for my undereye circles before I apply my face concealer.
If you havent tried it yet you should give it a try... it really brightens your eyes up and stays on. |

It is a little pricey, but I love the mac cream concealer. For best results apply with a brush than go over it with powder, again with a brush.
I find using the correct tools to apply your makeup makes all of the difference. So don't be cheap when purchasing a brush set. Target sells a good one, Sonia somthing. |

really be careful about shades selection, and don't get too bright concealer. It brings out dark circles.
besides, if planning to use concealer, don't use just concealer. One must use powder on the rest of the face too. |
