Steps
Cleanse and moisturize your under-eye area, then wait a minute so eye cream sinks in. This stops concealer from creasing or sliding.
Check your dark circles in daylight with a mirror. Note whether they look blue-purple, brown, red or like a hollow shadow.
For blue or purple circles, tap a thin layer of peach or orange corrector only on the darkest area. Keep it sheer so it does not look cakey.
For brown or pigmented circles, use a peach or apricot corrector. For red areas, use a tiny amount of green corrector and blend well.
For hollow shadowing, skip heavy corrector and use a light reflective concealer in the tear trough. Do not drag it up onto the eyelid.
Apply concealer after the corrector, using a small brush or sponge. Choose a shade close to your skin or one step lighter, not stark white.
Tap, do not rub, the concealer into the skin with your ring finger or a damp sponge. Build a second thin layer only where needed.
Set with a light dusting of loose powder on a small fluffy brush. Brush off excess before it touches the under-eye.
Check in daylight and soften any hard edges with a clean cotton swab. Avoid adding more product unless a spot still shows.
Tips and common mistakes
Use less corrector than you think you need; too much orange or green looks grey under concealer.
Choose a concealer that matches your neck or under-eye skin, not your hand.
Patch test a new eye product on your inner arm if your skin is sensitive.
Avoid setting powder right under the lash line if it makes fine lines look dry.
Questions
Why do my dark circles still look grey after concealer?
Grey usually means the corrector shade is wrong or missing. Blue-purple circles need peach or orange, while brown circles need peach or apricot.
Can I use concealer without color corrector?
Yes, if your circles are mild. For strong blue or brown tones, a thin corrector layer first gives a cleaner result.
How do I stop concealer from creasing?
Use a thin layer, blend with a damp sponge, and set only with a small amount of powder. Too much product settles into lines.
