Choosing your concealer based on the color of his dark circles?
Before choosing the color of your concealer, you need to define the color of your dark circles. They ( because yes, we say "a" dark circle and not "a" dark circle ) vary depending on many factors. Indeed, fatigue, poor blood circulation, stress, hormonal changes or allergies can influence dark circles. They are present in different shades: black to brown, bluish to greenish or red to purplish. In order to cover the signs of fatigue as much as possible, your concealer must be very close to your skin tone. The eye area tends to be lighter than the rest of your face, so it is best to choose a shade lighter than your complexion!
> Dark to brown dark circles: Dark to brown dark circles are the hardest to conceal. They are highly pigmented and can sometimes ruin your life. To hide them, simply use a concealer with orange pigments found in ivory, beige, or peach undertones. After blending it in well, you can say goodbye to your dark circles!
> Purple to red dark circles: Purple to red dark circles can be reduced with yellow pigments. These pigments are present in the lightest shades. They will neutralize the purple/red effect of your dark circles in the blink of an eye. By applying the right concealer, you can say goodbye to signs of fatigue!
> Bluish to greenish dark circles: For bluish or greenish dark circles, opt for concealers containing red and pink pigments. These pigments will reduce signs of fatigue by neutralizing this blue and cold effect. If you don't have any concealer on hand after a long, eventful night, don't panic! You can use a red lipstick ( yes, yes, you heard correctly ) which will be perfect for camouflaging your dark circles.
Choose your concealer according to of his complexion
After identifying the color of your dark circles, you absolutely must identify your skin tone. A concealer that is too light or too dark can quickly become a " makeup faux pas." We recommend choosing a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone to achieve the most natural look possible.
👩🏻🦰👱🏼♀️ LIGHT SKIN
If you have sun-sensitive skin and blush easily, you have fair skin. Opt for pale shades that will blend more easily into your makeup. These shades will allow you to mask signs of fatigue while brightening your eyes . At Charlotte Bio, for example, our concealers suitable for fair skin are the shades Ivory and Pink Beige. They help camouflage dark circles for a fresh and natural look.

If you rarely get sunburned and your skin tolerates the sun well, you have matte to dark skin. These skin types require more orange shades that will better camouflage everyday imperfections. Our Nude and Sand shades at Charlotte Bio are perfect for you!
👩🏾🦱🧑🏿 BLACK SKINS
To camouflage signs of fatigue, opt for dark colors with brown undertones. These shades will give you a radiant complexion! Our Hazelnut shade is perfect for this.

Know what type of concealer you are looking for
Choosing makeup on the Internet is not always easy, it is essential to check the brand's certifications and labels, then analyze the composition and characteristics of the product.
To best camouflage signs of fatigue, the important thing is to choose the right color and texture. The shade of concealer should be close to your skin tone. Since the eye area tends to be lighter than your skin tone, choose a slightly lighter shade for a luminous and natural effect.
Pay attention to the formulation of the concealer
To ensure that a concealer's composition is clean, you need to pay attention to the labels, certifications, and tests carried out before the product is put on sale. Conventional concealers contain chemical minerals and preservatives, which come into contact with your mucous membranes and can, in the long run, damage your eyes.
