Dark circles are never a girl's best friend, and I don't care who argues with me - we all experience them at SOME time in our lives. For me personally, it's after a late night or during a stressful time in my life. It's like all the stress manifests and tries to bust out under my eyeballs!
My dark circles are concentrated around the inner corners of my eyes, and they fade out towards the outer corners. I also have a history of sinus infections - and they get super dark whenever those nasties rear their ugly head!
In today's blog post I am going to share my top favorite correctors and concealers for tackling under eye darkness and dark circles. There's a mixture of both drugstore and high end products, and at the end of the post you can find my step by step video tutorial which details the exact techniques that I use to cover my under eye nasties!
It's actually very simple to do once you know the tricks, and it is all based on the theory of the color wheel and canceling out darker blue and purple shades with warmer tones such as orange and apricots!
So if you are interested in learning my top secret under eye tips & tricks, just keep on reading!
My Favorite Correctors & Concealers
LA Pro Conceal HD Concealer - Orange
Another incredible product at a very low price point. The consistency of the LA Pro Concealers is very smooth and they have amazing pigmentation. Click here to learn more.
Coastal Scents Camo Squad Concealer
This one is a great option as it features 4 colors - the orange is for concealing and correcting dark circles and the lighter pastel shades will help cover redness and blemishes. Click here to learn more.
Mac Studio Duo Corrector
This one is great value again as it includes both the orange and the yellow corrector (yellow cancels out red and pink tones) Click here to learn more.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit in Medium
You all know how obsessed I am with the ABH contour kits. The medium one is my favorite as it includes both dark and light shades for contouring different skin tones, an orange for correcting dark tones and a yellow to brighten. They also blend seamlessly and melt into the skin like butter! Click here to learn more.
NYX Full Coverage Concealer - Orange
I adore the NYX concealer range. They are creamy, pigmented and wear well throughout the day. The orange version is the perfect shade for correcting dark circles, and it wears beautifully when worn under a long wear concealer and powder. Click here to learn more.
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Corrector - Light
These correctors are more on the salmon side than orange, but they do an equally great job. This one is a little more emollient than the other options however, so would be better suited to those with drier skin types. Click here to learn more.
Giorgio Armani Master Corrector - Orange
This product is more of a luxe splurge, it performs just as well as all of the above options but will set your bank account back a little more. And theres just something about putting 'Giorgio Armani' under my eyes that makes me feel fancy! Click here to learn more.
Bobbi Brown Corrector
Bobbie Brown always ticks all the boxes. Sleek packaging, creamy formula and great pigmentation and product wear. These correctors come in a range of different salmon and orange shades - you will surely be able to find one to suit your skin type! I like 'Dark Peach' for my skin tone. Click here to learn more.
