I have a very fair skin. that means that undereyes circles are more noticeable on my skin rather than someone with darker skin.
First of all, I would like to underline the fact that sometimes undereyes circles or eye bags are accentuated by our lifestyle. You can help them, other than with make up, with a few tricks and by changing up your routine a bit. Here I talk about how to reduce dark circles.

HOW TO APPLY CONCEALER THE RIGHT WAY
But let’s cut to the chase! Below you’ll find the basic, fundamental techniques for trying to achieve a fresh, rested look with your beloved concealer.
The first thing to learn is the difference between concealer and corrector because they are not the same thing at all. This is my favorite concealer ever!
If you probably didn’t know there was any difference then I can tell you with certainty that this is the biggest mistake you were making.
CONCEALER TIPS
- You actually need two shades of concealer – yep, sorry bank account. One of these should match your foundation shade exactly, to seamlessly blend and hide any blemishes, and the other one a lighter shade ( do not exaggerate , one shade is enough ) to brighten the under the eye area.
- Always apply concealer after foundation, yes I know people love to debate this. Once your foundation has done most of the heavy lifting and colour correcting, you’ll know where you need to add your concealer, it just makes more sense.
- You don’t need as much as you think. Go lightly, and then you can always add more later. Remember that you still want you skin to look like skin.
- When applying under the eyes to disguise dark or puffy circles, don’t go too close to the eye, ie, avoid those little crinkles as much as possible as you concealer will fall into these lines and they’ll be more obvious. Instead go a little lower and blend, blend, blend.
- Don’t forget to apply to the outer corners of your eyes where the skin can be a little red, this makes a huge difference to the brightness around the eye.
