Steps
Start with clean, dry skin. Apply a light eye cream and wait a minute so it sinks in before any makeup goes on.
If your circles look blue or purple, tap a tiny amount of peach or orange corrector on just the darkest area and blend the edges.
Choose a hydrating concealer one or two shades lighter than your foundation. Matte formulas tend to look dry and crease faster here.
Dot three small spots under the eye: inner corner, centre and outer corner. Skip the thick stripe right under the lashes.
Blend with a small brush or damp sponge using light tapping motions. Do not drag or rub, the skin there is thin.
Add a second thin layer only where darkness still shows. Two light coats beat one heavy one.
Set with a light dusting of translucent powder, pressing it on rather than sweeping it across.
Check your face in daylight near a window and soften any hard edges with a clean fingertip or the sponge.
Tips and common mistakes
A corrector under your concealer does more for blue or purple circles than piling on more concealer.
Too much product is the main cause of creasing, so build thin layers and let each one settle.
Tap gently under the eye, since rubbing stretches thin skin over time.
Skip powder right under the lower lashes if your skin is dry, as it can look cakey.
Questions
Which colour corrector should I use for dark circles?
Peach suits light to medium skin and orange or deep salmon suits deeper skin. Use it only on the dark area, then cover with concealer.
Why does my under-eye concealer crease?
Usually from using too much product or a very matte formula. Try thin layers of a hydrating concealer and set with only a whisper of fine powder.
Can I cover dark circles without concealer?
A corrector alone softens them, but concealer gives the most coverage. Sleep, water and daily sunscreen help the skin over time.
