How to color correct dark circles with orange corrector and concealer

Mix a little orange color corrector with your skin-tone concealer to cover dark circles without heavy layers. This suits anyone with bluish or purple under-eye shadows and brown spots. You only need a corrector, a concealer that matches your skin, and a small palette or clean surface to mix on.

Steps

  1. Cleanse and moisturize your face, then let the eye area dry fully. Wait a minute so the products sit on smooth skin instead of slipping.

  2. Squeeze a tiny dot of orange corrector onto a palette. A grain-of-rice amount is enough for both eyes.

  3. Add an equal or slightly larger dot of your skin-tone concealer next to it.

  4. Mix the two together with a small brush or fingertip until the color looks even and creamy.

  5. Tap the mixture only on the dark areas under your eyes. Do not spread it across the whole eye area.

  6. Pat with your fingertip or a damp sponge to blend the edges into your skin.

  7. Add a second thin layer only if the shadow still shows. Let the first layer set before adding more.

  8. Dust a light layer of setting powder over the area to stop creasing.

Tips and common mistakes

Use less orange corrector than concealer so the mix does not look orange on your skin.

Peach corrector works better than strong orange for fair skin, while deeper skin can take more orange.

Do not rub the under-eye area, since dragging causes creasing and irritation.

Test the mixed shade on your jaw first if you are unsure it matches your skin.

Questions

Can I mix the corrector and concealer on the back of my hand?

Yes, the back of your hand works if it is clean. A small plastic palette or a clean lid is easier to wipe afterward.

Why mix them instead of layering corrector first?

Mixing gives one thin layer that blends into your skin tone. Layering can look cakey and settle into fine lines.

What if I do not have an orange corrector?

A peach or salmon corrector works for lighter skin. Choose the shade closest to the color of your dark circles.
