1. Bobbi Brown Corrector
This peach tinted concealer is perfect for dark circles under the eyes as it counteracts the blueness (orange/peach is the opposite of blue, therefore the colors balance each other out). The gel like consistency is perfect for under the eyes as it won’t cake up or look too dry. It glides easily, isn’t too thick, and covers really well. To apply I simply take my ring finger and swipe the smallest amount under my eyes before I apply my foundation. If you don’t wear foundation, then you will need a color close to your skin- not peach. Correctors work differently than traditional concealers in that they are colored- specifically for correcting a specific issue (ie blueness under the eyes looking like dark shadows or circles)
2. Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer
Very similar to Bobbi Brown’s Corrector, this concealer works amazingly well under the eyes! The difference is this one seems a bit more pigmented in color so hides the blueness under the eyes a bit better. The consistency is exactly the same as the BB one- gel like, so it glides easily without caking up.
3. MAC Studio finish Concealer
The difference between undereye concealers and blemish concealers is simply the texture: concealers that work best on blemishes have a thicker, creamier texture. I love this MAC one as it covers incredibly well and doesn’t look cakey like some cream concealers can. It comes in a convenient little pot which is great for travel, and it comes in tons of different colors.
4. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat
Even though this is claimed to be a “skin brightener”, for me it actually works well as just a plain ole’ concealer. I use this under the eyes, BUT I apply after my foundation and not before (because it is the same color as my skin and not peach like a corrector is). You do not need this in addition to correctors- that would be too much product especially under the delicate eye area. The consistency of this is a bit creamy vs gel, but it isn’t so thick to where it emphasizes any wrinkles or crevices. If you don’t have bad dark circles, then this should be plenty coverage for you- you can get 1 shade lighter than your skin if you’d like to just brighten that area up. To apply, I take a soft dome brush and gently sweep this under the eyes after I apply foundation. Or you can apply straight to bare skin if you wish to skip foundation- just blend really well.
5. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage
Since this is a heavier concealer it works really well for concealing blemishes- I wouldn’t use it under the eyes as it may cake up though. I love how this has 2 different colors to custom mix if needed. This one would be best for combo to oily skin unless you’re just using for blemishes.
