Here is the story.

You have a great date tomorrow night and you need a SUPER powerful concealer to hide you dark circles. So you drive to shopping mall and you walk to a cosmetic counter and try out different type of concealers available in the counter around your hand. Then you pick the concealer that you like the best and try it around your eyes. When you see the dark circles reflections from the mirrors, instantly you like they way the concealer covers the dark circles as it seems able to reduce the raccoon look. (No concealer that I know of can cover 100% of dark circles unless for light or mild dark circles.) Without a second thought, you pay for concealer and went back home.

Since you have a great date tomorrow night, you want to give your best impression to your mate. Makeup is unavoidable but overdo on makeup will not be better either. So your plan is just to have a light make up and covers some of the flaws on your face.

And here’s the nightmare. No matter how you tap or glide the concealer on your dark circles, the dark circles still look grayish or bluish. Something just went wrong.

Here are some tips that can help you to avoid the above circumstances.

The light around the store counters is being designed to make your skin look healthier, brighter and prettier. It does not give you’re the true realistic look on the makeup on your face. The best practice is to check the make up under natural lights. You can go inside your car and look at the make up in the mirrors or you can just wait until you go home and check. Then only if you satisfied with how you look, you can always go back the next day to buy the concealer.

That’s some tips on how to pick the best concealer color for dark circles. I hope you like it!

p/s: Always choose concealer with one skin tone lighter than your foundation. Two skin tone lighter in some special cases.
