3 steps to conceal undereye circles.

The skin beneath your eyes is delicate and thin, which can allow blood vessels to peep through. That’s why it may look like there’s a dark shadow under your eyes, even if you’re not tired or run down. The first course of action in how to cover dark circles is to use an eye cream that hydrates, and helps prep for concealer. All About Eyes is a lightweight eye cream with vitamin C that deeply hydrates, and over time, brightens the appearance of dark undereye circles and reduces the look of puffiness. Use your fingertips to lightly tap it along your orbital bone, from outer to inner corners.

Sometimes a little more really is better, especially when it comes to concealing undereye circles and in finding a concealer for dark circles. First address the darkness with a color corrector like one of our best dark circle concealers Even Better All-Over Primer and Color Corrector , which instantly neutralizes dark undereye circles. Next dab an undereye concealer like Even Better All-Over Concealer + Eraser just under the inner corner of your eye (which is typically the darkest area), then use the pads of your fingers to press and blend the concealer into your skin in a rolling motion. Next, lightly dust translucent powder like Blended Face Powder over the concealer to set and perfect your look.

Well-planned eye makeup will draw people’s eyes upward, away from the dark undereye circles. Strong, bold brows, eyeliner along the upper lash line, shimmery shadow, and major lashes on top lashes can only detract focus away from your circles. Just Browsing Brush-On Styling Mousse, Quickliner for Eyes and High Impact Mascara will all work in your favor.
