Undereye Concealer Routine?

Jan 10, 2012

I'm just wondering what you guys use to cover up your undereye circles.
First, I use UDPP right on my fine lines under my eyes, but not all over my undereyes, just because it makes the area kind of dry and cakey. Then I put a yellow corrective concealer from a Hard Candy palette, followed by Benefit Erase paste all over, but not up to my lower lashline because that makes me look funny. And finally, I use ELF's Tone Correcting Powder in the yellow shade to make it long lasting and matte (2 nice qualities that the Erase Paste does not have.) :)

Hello,
I think you might be doing to many steps I see that your 15 your beutifull you dont need all does extra steps :) mabey you should choose a really good concealer stick with that and top it off with a foundation ( depending if you do concealer then foundation or vice versa) then finishing powder..I use the MAC studio fix concealer then put my MAC studio fix foundation on!!! Oh and Id use the UDPP more for eye lid primer then under eye concealer... XX

If you're using concealer to counteract the undereye circles and to keep it from settling into you fine lines you need to use a moisturizng eye cream. It gives it a nice canvas in which to work the concealer on. I would not use the UDPP as a concealer as Alyson P. suggested. You're only making those lines more pronounced. And I totally agree with Alyson as well....why cover up your beauty with all those steps. For you're age you need to keep it sweet and simple. I notice we live in the same city....aren't you just lovin' the warm weather these past few days? :)

This is not what I do on an everyday basis! Haha, it's what I do if I'm going out or something. I wish I had time to do all that in the morning! And you need to realize that I have really bad hereditary undereye circles, I've had them since I was 6.
And the UDPP helps the concealer from settling into my fine lines, Erase Paste tends to do that! Works for me (:
And Shelley, YES! I hate the cold. haha.

I use maybelline age rewind undereye concealer in a shade lighter than my skin under my eyes. I focus most of the product on the darkest area and blend it down to my cheekbones as a highlight. I also use the left over product on the tool I'm using that day and pat it all over my undereye area. Then I set it with benefit's powderflauge with a sigma e50 or makeup sponge.

I use my MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre, because it's yellow it cancels out blue tones, and it's a little lighter than my skin, so it's brightening, and since it's a paint pot, it doesn't crease.

I have naturally dark circles under my eyes and although I'm constantly hearing to use a yellow tinted corrector, I have this matte mauve colored powder that, when used with my foundation, seems to work better for me.

i moisturize lightly first, then apply a very thin layer of Benefit's stay dont stray concealer primer. then i apply a thin layer of amazing cosmetics concealer and set with powder. works wonders. i like Benefit's erase paste too, just doesnt last very long for me. hope this helps! actually? i will post a pic tomorrow, one eye with the product and one without so you can see the difference it makes for me :)

I also use Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer. It's a good product, but the packaging is a bit frustrating in my personal experience because the clicking mechanism cracked on mine. But i do really like concealer inside the packaging. It blends in easy and is very brightening.

I usually use either Almay Bright Eyes base + concealer or my Michael Todd Long Lasting Cream Shadow in Nude. I first moisturize my skin in general, then I use my Almay or MT. I usually use a fluffy blending brush to blend the concealer under my eyes and in a triangle shape. After that I use a translucent powder to set all of it.

First I prime with Benefit's Stay Don't Stray. It's a 360 degree eyelid primer that you can also use to prime concealers for the under eye area, and it also has a yellow tint to it so it kind of acts as a corrector. ThenI use Maybelline's mineral concealer wand, it comes with a doe foot applicator which makes things easy and it's got great coverage. I've heard it's a dupe of a Guerlain product. I set it with Tarte's Smooth Operator that I also use to set the rest of my face makeup. I have very dark genetic under eye circles and I have to make sure to not put too much product or else I get cakey.

I use hard candy's glamoflauge. I don't really have a routine, I just put it on after foundation.

if your under eyes are really super dark and blue in tone try using an orange concealer to mute out the blue and go over that with your foundation and then powder. Its less steps and it works every time.

I use Maybelline age rewind concealer in the illuminating shade (so not a concealer lol), and then I either put Benefit's Erase Paste (everyday) or Laura Merciers Secret Camo Concealer (special occas.) on top. Then I make sure I set it all with a powder, either MUFE HD powder or MAC MSF Natural

I do a lot of different things depending on what I'm doing for the day. For full coverage, I use my foundation and then I take the MAC ProLongwear concealer and put it in a triangle shape from my inner corner, to my nostril, and angled out to the outer corner of my eye, blend that in and extend it towards my hairline for a highlight, then set it with NYC pressed powder in light.
If I'm looking for lighter coverage, I use the Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser, and then layer the Revlon Photoready Brightener pen over it and blend it out. Then I set it with the E.L.F. HD Powder.

Here's a BIG tip that I learned trying to fix my under eye circle problem:

In order to cover up your blemishes/under eye circles, you have to neutralize the color. Look up a color wheel and use the color opposite to conceal. Green neutralizes red (pimples, etc).

To cover up your under eye circles, you have to find out what color your circles are. Some are blue, some are purple, and so on. Again, check out the color wheel. If you have blue under eye circles, orange is going to be the best concealer for that.

And then cover that up with foundation. :)
