My all-year tanned complexion is heredity, but unfortunately, so are my dark circles. The latter weigh down my eyes, and leave me looking tired and aged. Luckily, the new camouflaging concealers created to hide dark circles in seconds have landed on my beauty desk. As for best application practices, speaking to Vogue Arabia, Givenchy’s Makeup Artistic Director, Nicolas Degennes, explains, “Concealer should be positioned on dark circles at the inner side of the eye to illuminate the outline. Afterwards, you can have fun and blend shades.” Whether your dark circles are due to all-nighters, jet lag, an early training session, or genes, above is Vogue’s edit of seven new concealers that will help hide them.
7 Camouflaging Concealers for Dark Circles
Creamy Concealer Kit This two-in-one compact includes a cream concealer that lightens the under-eye area and a pressed powder to lock the concealer in place. After applying your favorite eye balm, dab your concealer on lightly over (or under) your foundation. Using your fingertips, work the creamy product from the innermost corner of your eyes outwards. To set the concealer, dust a little powder on top.
