Undereye Concealers

Your eyes are one of the first things people notice on your face. Many people tend to be self-conscious about their eyes, however, because they have under eye circles or puffiness. The common myth is that these circles are caused by staying up late or just general tiredness. While this is partially true, it can be a genetic issue as well. Dark circles are usually caused by the thin layer of skin below your eyes. The blood vessels here show more clearly than anywhere else on your body. Puffiness goes hand-in-hand with dark circles, and is usually caused by fluid build-up below the eyes, which can actually be caused by excessive salt consumption. It can also be caused by old age. This is where under-eye concealers come into play. They can help hide the dark circles and reduce any puffiness.

Who are they good for?

Under-eye concealers are great for anyone who has dark circles under their eyes or puffiness. It is common for people in their thirties and older to start wearing under-eye concealer, although it can be worn by people younger than that, particularly if they have a genetic condition that makes their under-eye circles look darker than others.

There are several different types of under-eye concealers, and it can be overwhelming at first knowing which one to choose. Lancome Teint Miracle Concealer may be a little pricey, but it gives you excellent coverage, leaving you with natural looking skin. It also contains SPF 15, which helps protect you against the sun. The under-eye area tends to be extremely sensitive. If you notice that you have sensitive skin, you may want to try Laura Mercier Secret Concealer. It is made with vitamin A and E and cares for the skin while covering up any dark circles. It also encourages elasticity and fights the effects of dryness. It comes in a small container, making it easy to take on the go and apply whenever you need to. If you want an even easier travel device, however, try the YSL Touche Eclat. It glides on as a pen, and produces a creamy and light color that still works well enough to cover up dark circles. For a more multi-purpose concealer, try MAC Pro Longwear Concealer. It is relatively cheap, and not only banishes dark circles but also helps fix fine lines. It leaves your skin looking smooth and radiant. If you are looking to improve the base, try Illamasqua Skin base Lift. It corrects the pigmentation under the eyes, and comes in several different shades, making it easy to match it to your skin tone. If you are willing to spend some extra cash, try Estée Lauder Double Wear Light. It is one of the best concealers available, and even comes with SPF 10, which helps protect your skin against the sun. Lastly, if you don’t need foundation, try Clinique All About Eyes. It moisturizes and nourishes your skin, but also diffuses dark shadows and highlights the face. You can also use it on your cheekbone to help create a sculpted effect.
