Concealers, you say? Take a seat…

Part of the dark circle club and my makeup had to withstand major flash photography last year, so I went WAY too deep into this. Tl;dr for products is that for everyday I use Kosas. For events I use NARS + NARS color corrector.

BUT, the key is:

Apply Strategically à la Katie Jane Hughes

• Only apply it where you’re dark to prevent the Kardashian look

• If you struggle with creasing, it may be too much product — you could try using a “primed” brush

Cater to You à la Lisa Eldridge (the queen!)

• Cater to your dark circles’ color: determine if you trend more purple or blue/green, and choose concealer with corresponding undertones that’ll cancel em out (maybe you want more peachy, or yellow, depending). Break out a smidge of corrector beneath concealer when needed - Eldridge gives a great breakdown around 8:17 in the vid.

• YMMV: if you’re dry, go for liquids and moisturize underneath liberally, if you’re oily, maybe a pot and powder is better. Lots of options in Eldridge’s vid as well.
