When it comes to achieving a flawless, radiant look, one of the essential makeup products you’ll find in any makeup artist’s kit is an under-eye concealer. Opting for a product that’s specially formulated for this delicate eye area is absolutely essential, and choosing a shade that perfectly matches your skin tone (perhaps opting for a shade lighter than your foundation to eliminate shadows) is also important. So where do you start when it comes to finding the perfect under-eye concealer to brighten, conceal, and enhance the delicate under-eye area? I’ve rounded up the best under-eye concealers on the market today.
How to apply concealer under your eyes
Before we explore the best products, let’s look at how to apply under-eye concealer properly. Firstly, don’t use too much product under your eyes as it will look heavy and instantly age you. In general, a lighter liquid foundation will look better under your eyes than a thick, creamy formula. Make a dotted line under your eye and gently blend it out to brighten the area.
