Dark Circle Concealer Tips:While doing makeup, concealer is used to hide dark circles under the eyes. But many times it happens that after applying concealer, instead of being hidden, the dark circles appear darker. Due to this, the entire makeup may also look dull. If this happens to you too, there is no need to worry. There can be many small reasons behind this, like choosing wrong color concealer, applying too much product or dry skin under the eyes. By adopting the right method this problem can be reduced to a great extent.
Wrong color concealer could be the reason
The color of the skin under the eyes is different from person to person. If dark circles appear too brown or blue and you apply too light a concealer without any color corrector, the area underneath may appear gray or darker. Therefore, it is important to choose concealer according to your skin color and the color of dark circles.
Avoid applying too much concealer
Many people apply a thick layer of concealer under the eyes to completely hide dark circles. Doing this can cause the concealer to collect into the fine lines under the eyes and make the area appear heavy or dark. It is best to apply a very thin layer of concealer and a small amount can be reapplied if needed.
dry skin under the eyes
If the skin under the eyes is dry, the concealer may stick to one place instead of spreading easily. Due to this, fine lines of the skin become more visible and darkness can also become visible. It may be helpful to apply a light moisturizer under the eyes before makeup. However, applying too much cream can cause the concealer to slip, so to hide dark circles, many people choose a concealer that is much lighter than their skin color. This can cause a white or gray effect under the eyes and make dark circles more visible than the surrounding skin. For everyday makeup, it is better to choose a concealer that is close to the skin color.
Color corrector may be needed
If the dark circles are too deep, applying concealer alone may not give the desired results. In such cases, a lighter color corrector can be applied first. For overly blue or purple circles, a peach or light orange tint may help, while for mildly dark circles, a peach tinted corrector may suffice. Applying concealer close to skin color over it can make the area appear more natural.
Do not apply too much powder
After applying concealer, some powder is applied to make it last. But applying too much powder under the eyes can make the skin dry and lines appear more prominent. Therefore, apply a very light layer of powder and do not use more product than necessary.
Be sure to keep these things in mind
The biggest reason why the area under the eyes looks dark after applying concealer can be wrong color, excess product, dry skin or wrong method of application. Therefore, first prepare the skin, apply color corrector as per requirement and then apply concealer matching the skin color in a thin layer. Remember, it is more important to use the right products and the right technique rather than applying too much makeup under the eyes.
