Make-up Tips for Concealing Dark Circles Part I - How to Choose a Concealer

Good cosmetics together with proper tools make hiding dark circles under eyes fairly effectively. However, it is only a temporary fix but not a permanent solution. You may check out my previous posts for more details on dark circles treatments/ solutions.

How to Choose a Concealer

1. 
   
   Visit a beauty make-up counter in order for you to try out different types of concealers.
2. 
   
   Different types of concealers have different effects towards your dark circles under eyes. A yellow tinted concealer conceals the appearance of purplish circles, an orange concealer for blueish circles whereby blue, mauve or tan concealers for brownish circles. There are even green and light blue concealers for red circels under eyes.
3. 
   
   The colour of a concealer should be one shade lighter than your normal skin if the dark circles are blue or black. Conversely, you should select the concealer colour that is one shade darker than normal skin if puffiness is associated with your dark circles.
4. 
   
   Choose a creamy-typed concealer product, which allows it to glide onto the skin under the eyes smoothly.
5. Check the effect of the chosen concealer under natural lights just to make sure that your dark circles are not noticeable in normally lit circumstances.

Personally, I am using Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit (Anti-Cernes Creme). You may visit my post at http://darkcirclestreatment.blogspot.com/2010/05/dark-circles-treatment-dark-circles.html for more details on this product.
