Correcting before concealing
If your dark circles are not making your life easy even using full coverage concealers, it may now be the time to pair it with a color-correcting cream. The main difference between these correctors and the concealers is their function: with shades that counteract the undertones of your dark circles, they make life easier for concealers. Alone, they’re of no use, but before concealer, they are the ultimate dark circle’s camouflaging ally.
The tricky part lies in color choices. The secret is to choose the right tone to neutralize the undertone of your dark circles:
– If your dark circles are more on the bluish side, go for an orange corrector;
– For purply tones, choose a yellow corrector;
– If you find more brownish tones, choose a yellow or peachy-based shade.
A good tip to keep in mind is to use it only over the dark circles, without applying too much product – that would make the concealing more difficult. Pat the product gently with your finger and follow with your concealer, applying it gently to prevent moving the previous correcting work. As a result, you should expect a bright under-eye area that looks fresh and radiant!
