For a lot of us, the whole point of under eye concealer is to hide the fact that we have been all night out partying or working late. But if the concealer is not being used correctly, then we end up highlighting the problem area instead To avoid a reverse-raccoon look, stick to these top 3 tips when it comes to choosing concealer.

It’s easy to assume that the lighter your concealer, the better it will hide your dark circles. When you go too light, however, it makes it impossible to blend in with your foundation. Stick to a color that’s no more than one shade lighter than your skin, and always apply it before your foundation and powder.

2. Watch out for concealers that promise to “brighten.”

We all want brighter skin, but using brightening concealers isn't the way to do it. These formulas generally have light reflecting particles that draw attention to your problem area instead of camouflaging it. Reserve light-reflecting products for underneath your brow bones and along your cheekbones.

3. Sheer it out.

Many concealers have thick formulas to help cover your dark circles. Thicker can sometimes be more problematic than helpful, though. Mix your concealer with a tiny amount of moisturizer before applying and then build on as you need.

Hope this help you guys in getting a perfect concealer for your beautiful skin tone. Don't always look for expensive products, but go in for products that are value for money, even if they come cheap. After-all the price tag is not going to help it look good, but the technique is!
