I've heard that for really dark under eye circles, you should use a colour corrector before you conceal so you don't get an ashy look and it looks more fresh. Also, you should use a peachy colour for bluey circles and a yellow colour for more purplish ones. But because I'm sort of medium tan, my under eye circles are more of a dead looking brown than anything else. I've looked on the makeup colour wheel and it says to use lavender but where can I get a lavender colour corrector? What should I use to get that flawless look under my eyes?

Hey sweety, so if you have dark circles you need to use a more orange tone to balence that out as orange is opposite to blues and blacks on the colour chart so go for a more orange concealer and don't put your concealer on before your foundation because once you have put your foundation over it, it will have been moved and the circles will reappear.

Thank you! I do have the MAC pro longwear concealer but it's in the wrong shade but I will try get my hands on the NYX lavender concealer. I don't think I have NYX where I live though. :/

I checked out the article. It has helped, thanks. :D

In addition to a lavender corrector, I'll look for an orangey corrector too, to see which works best. Thanks for all your help. :)
