Why doesn't my under eye concealer work? ›

If you notice that your under eyes look dry or crepe-like after you've applied your concealer, ensure you use a good eye cream and primer beforehand, and opt for a more moisturising cream-type concealer. When your under-eye concealer is too rich and moisturizing, it will smudge in our humid weather.

Being a great all-rounder, it's also thick enough to help hide blemishes, although, I would recommend two different shades for this: a lighter option for brightening and a skin tone match for concealing. Remember to never apply the doe foot directly to any spot.

The reason concealer alone cannot address dark circles is that it often creases and makes the issue much worse. Moisturizing and applying color corrector can help minimize the look of dark circles.

To conceal dark under-eye circles, choose one shade lighter than your foundation shade match. Learn more about the best concealers for dark circles.

While the majority of experts recommend applying a light layer of foundation before concealer, we admit there are instances where you benefit from a concealer first, like: If you're getting photographed. If your concealer shade isn't the same as your foundation. If you're color-correcting discoloration.

Green color corrector neutralizes red spots, reddish birthmarks, rashes, acne, Rosacea, redness around the nose, and even a sunburn can all benefit from a green color corrector. It's one of the hardest working colors in color correcting.

Deeper peach and orange color correctors help counteract bluish hues, which makes them great for neutralizing dark spots and dark circles on those with medium to deep skin tones. If you're unsure which to choose, consider your skin tone and your undertones.

Red and green sit on opposite sides of the spectrum, which means that these colors can be used to help counteract one another—it's that simple. And that's why green color-correcting concealer is the ultimate miracle worker when it comes to hiding face redness.

What concealer cancels out dark spots? ›

For dark circles and dark spots: Use a peach color corrector if you have fair skin, or a deeper orange shade if you have medium to dark skin. For sallowness: Balance out unwanted warmth with a lavender color corrector.

Prep your skin by cleansing, moisturizing, and using a primer, if desired. Then, you have the option of applying a corrector that neutralizes the undertone of the dark spot. Then, select a concealer that matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter.

To put it simply, they're different. The two go hand in hand, though, each having their own specific benefits. Generally, you would apply foundation all over the face as a base, then you apply concealer as more of a spot treatment on areas of concern such as discoloration under the eyes or redness around the nose.

Purple or lavender colour corrector: Works to target any unwanted yellow undertone. Again, if the skin is dull, this can help reveal a healthier glow. Green corrector: This removes the appearance of redness you may get from acne or other skin trauma hyperpigmentation.
