Under Eye Concealer
Under eye concealer, also sometimes known as eye lift creams, is a type of cosmetic used to cover up dark circles, wrinkles and lines under they eyes. They come in two forms: one looks like a lipstick tube which can be applied directly to the problem area and then blended in using the fingertips. The other is in the form of a compact in a flat case and is used by rubbing the fingers into the concealer and then applied to the under eye area.
Under eye concealers have a thicker consistency than foundation, and can basically be used on any area of the face if needed, to make facial lines, blemishes and imperfections, even acne, look inconspicuous. It is also a great cosmetic for those who have an uneven skin tone.
It is important to choose an under eye concealer that is a shade lighter than your foundation. The under eye concealer will be the first makeup that is applied, and this needs to be done with great care. If too much is applied, it will defeat the purpose, tend to form a clump and will only accentuate the dark circles or lines that you are trying to hide.
There is a vast majority of under eye concealer or eye lift creams reviews available online, and it would be wise to explore them before purchasing one. The best under eye concealer for dark circles is the Bourjois Brush Concealer, which contains light-reflecting pigments to help mask the dark circles under the eyes, and is really easy to apply.
