Covering dark eye circles

5 replies

Whatalunatic · 07/06/2026 23:23

Aged 50 plus. Pale skin with freckkes. Not much of a make up user - some Rosaliquec green colour corrector, a coloured primer from Clinique, mascara and Clinique black honey almost lipstick. Just right for me.....except I have dark circles under my eyes. Any attempt at concealing just looks obvious, orange and cakey. Any suggestions for something that will work but which is light and natural?

I use a no 7 under eye concealer but as I’ve aged, just a small amount into the tear line area, if that makes sense. Too much and it creases up.

A very thin peach or pink-toned corrector under a lightweight hydrating concealer usually looks much more natural, The goal is usually softening the contrast.

I’ve tried a few and different prices but this is my favourite:
Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser Eye Concealer
Not expensive so worth a go.

I've found the fiera concealer really good. Doesn't crease. But honestly the only way to really help is if i use fake tan first. I'm so pale it just makes me look less tired with a bit of colour.

Since I started using tretinoin I don’t need to cover mine
