I've been using concealer for under-eye circles since middle school. The beauty of genetics is that you always have someone else to blame for your looks. Thanks for the shadows under my eyes, Mom and Dad! I've tried concealer in about every consistency, color, and price range. I've even tried those funky green and yellow shades that claim to cover the gloomy eyes, but don't. What I've learned over the years is that you can't lighten or brighten your under eye circles to make them disappear. You can only blend them into your natural skin tone to make them appear softer and well blended. Instead of choosing a shade lighter than your natural tone, try a shade that matches your skin tone, or even a tad darker. You'll be surprised at how subtle your under eye darkness becomes!
Considering that I have tried so many concealers, I was surprised when I brought home a sample of concealer that was unlike any I had ever tried. The product is called, Stila Perfecting Concealer, and it is fantastic. What I noticed right away about this item was the rich texture. It is thick and creamy and slightly heavy so, a little goes a long way. But oh, the luxury of it! When this stuff touches your skin, you know you have a great product. The thickness allows for great coverage but, the smoothness ensures a nice, even blend into your skin. At $23, it is a tad pricey but, like I said, a little tube of this stuff really will last you a while. I think it is worth the investment! What are your favorite concealers of the moment? Let me know!
