Eye Concealer

Choose a concealer one shade lighter than your foundation for brightening the under-eye, or match your foundation for general coverage; test on the area between your cheek and eye in natural light and consider formulas with yellow or peach undertones to counter blue/purple under-eye circles

For dark circles look for medium to full coverage with peach or salmon undertones; for creasing choose lightweight, long-wear or crease-resistant formulas with minimal heavy oils; for dry skin select hydrating or radiant formulas with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or primers designed for under-eye hydration

Eye concealers span budget to prestige, with many effective options under $20 and a typical mid-range around $20–$40; pricing correlates with brand, packaging size, and added skincare ingredients rather than guaranteed performance

Apply a small amount in thin layers, gently tap and blend with a sponge or fingertip, set lightly with a finely milled translucent powder if you have creasing, and avoid using heavy layers or thick creams directly on fine lines

Yes — look for labels like fragrance-free, ophthalmologist-tested, or formulated for sensitive skin, and choose products with minimal irritants and non-comedogenic claims; patch-test new products on the forearm before using near the eye

Some full-coverage concealers can be used as spot correctors or light foundation in small amounts, but under-eye formulas are often thinner and more hydrating than face foundations, so match product type to the area and desired finish

Look for hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and soothing botanicals if you have dry or mature skin; avoid heavy oils, strong fragrances, and high levels of alcohol if you’re prone to sensitivity or creasing
