Buying Guide

Choose coverage level by concern

Light discoloration often responds to sheer-to-medium coverage, while deep dark circles typically need full-coverage concealers to fully neutralize and brighten

Match finish to skin type

Matte finishes control shine and work well for oily skin or heavy coverage needs; natural or luminous finishes suit dry or mature under-eyes to avoid settling into fine lines

Use color correctors strategically

Peach or salmon correctors neutralize blue-purple tones, while yellow or bisque tones can counteract mild purple under-eye shadows before concealing

Consider formulation and texture

Thicker, full-coverage formulas provide more pigment but can crease—look for lightweight, blendable textures or hydrating formulas when creasing is a concern

Evaluate shade range and undertone

Choose a concealer shade that matches your skin's undertone for coverage and a slightly lighter shade for targeted brightening without looking ashy
