Elminate Under-Eye Circles With The Proper Concealer
At some time in a woman's life we are plagued with dark Under Eye circles. The root cause of these circles can be attributed to a variety of reasons such as stress, lack of sleep, allergies, genetics, medications or thinning skin under the eye to name a few. However, whatever the reason, they are unsightly and adds unwanted age to your face.
Concealers are effective at hiding dark under-eye circles because they are opaque (they do not let light through). Normal make-up can not disguise under eye circles and is no match for a great concealer. Therefore, in order to select the right type of concealer, it is important to note your skin type and skin tone. Furthermore, it is important to determine what exactly you are trying to cover, i.e. bluish or purple circles, reddish discoloration, puffiness or trying to minimize wrinkles and imperfections. The answer to these questions will help you in selecting the perfect type of concealer.
Choosing the correct color for your skin tone - Select a concealer that matches your skin tone, however if you use a Liquid Foundation, chose a concealer that is one to two times lighter than your foundation.
Color - Generally, a yellow based concealer will downplay bluish to purple under eye circles. For those circles that are reddish in color, consider a mint or soft green. A green/mint color will neutralize redness. Finally if puffiness is a problem, a soft pink will minimize the appearance of puffiness and works for all skin tones.
Choosing the right concealer for your skin type - Oily Skin should use a finely milled mineral concealer, as this will minimize oiliness. For those with delicate and thinning skin under the eye, consider an Eye Cream that is rich in emollients and vitamins. The vitamins will nourish the eye area and help strengthen the capillary walls so that dark circles and veins are less visible.
Application - If you use a liquid foundation, apply your concealer over the foundation. If using a cream or Powder Foundation use the concealer first followed by your powder. Application of an under Eye Concealer can vary from one product to the other. Some come equipped with brushes, others are in stick form and yet others in cream form. When using a concealer just apply three dots under the eye and gently blend. Apply a light layer of powder to set the concealer, however if you have Dry Skin skip this step.
Tip: if your concealer feels too thick or looks dry and cakey, just mix in a drop or two of your favorite eye cream. The eye cream will absorb into the skin and thin the concealer for an easier application.
While finding the right under-eye concealer may take trial and error they are indispensible if you suffer from dark under-eye circles. Concealers will brighten the eye area and give a more youthful appearance to your entire complexion.

What is the difference between BB cream and foundation/concealer?
Hi all, I am just a little confused here. Is BB cream the same as foundation/concealer？ Do I still need to apply foundation/concealer after I put on my BB cream?
Normal procedure for makeup as I understand is: cleanser>face lotion>concealer>foundation>makeup
So if I were to use BB cream what is the procedure?
Thanks for helping!
BB cream is supposed to be a makeup base+sunscreen (most have spf but some don't)+concealor+foundation.
depending on different types, some provide heavier coverage while some gives very very light/barely there coverage. however, even those with the heaviest coverage can't compare to the coverage a foundation gives you because bb creams are meant to be light and give you a natural finish.
if you need more coverage, you may apply concealor over the spots or powder foundation over your face to both set the bb cream and also provide the extra coverage.
for me, i'll choose to dab on concealors on my spots and then set everything with a translucent pressed powder.
the procedure for a bb cream should be: cleanser > toner! > face lotion > bb cream > concealor > powder. and that is, if your bb cream has spf. if not, suncreen before bb cream.
