Choosing a concealer based on the color of your dark circles?
Before choosing the color of your concealer, you need to define the color of your dark circles. They(yes, we do say "a" dark circle, not "a" dark circle) vary according to a number of factors. Fatigue, poor circulation, stress, hormonal changes or allergies can all influence dark circles. They come in a variety of shades: black to brown, bluish to greenish or red to purplish. To cover up signs of fatigue as much as possible, your concealer should be very close to your skin tone. The eye area tends to be lighter than the rest of your face, so it's best to choose a shade lighter than your complexion!
> Black to brown circles: Black to brown circles are the most difficult to camouflage. They are highly pigmented and can sometimes ruin your life. To hide them, simply use a dark circle concealer based on orange pigments found in ivory, beige or peach undertones. Once you've blended it in, you can say goodbye to your dark circles!
> Violet to red circles: Violet to red circles can be reduced with yellow pigments. These pigments are found in the lighter shades. They will neutralize the violet/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 under-eye circles: for bluish or greenish under-eye circles, look for correctors containing red and pink pigments. These pigments will reduce signs of fatigue by neutralizing that cold, blue effect. If you don't have any concealer to hand after a long, eventful night, don't panic! You can use a red lipstick(yes, yes, you heard me right) which will be perfect for camouflaging your dark circles.
Choose your concealer according to skin tone
Once you've identified the color of your dark circles, you absolutely must identify your skin tone. A concealer that's too light or too dark can quickly become a "makeup faux pas". We recommend that you choose a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone to achieve the most natural look possible.

Knowing what type of concealer you're looking for
Choosing make-up on the Internet isn't always easy: it's essential to check the brand's certifications and labels, thenanalyze the product'scomposition and characteristics.
To best conceal signs of fatigue, the key is choosing 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, natural effect.
Paying attention to the formulation of concealer
