Why Do Dark Circles Appear?
Dark circles are caused by poor circulation in the periocular area, resulting in dark hues under the eyes, ranging from purple and gray to green, yellow, or blue. They can be temporary, triggered by stress, lack of sleep, or screen fatigue, or hereditary, passed down through your DNA. While rest can alleviate temporary cases, concealer is the magic word for hereditary ones.
Hiding Dark Circles: The “Color Correcting” Technique
The secret to concealing dark circles lies in color correcting. This technique uses colored concealers to counteract the underlying tone of dark circles. Peach and apricot tones work best for fair to medium skin, while darker shades like orange and red are ideal for deep skin tones or stubborn circles. After correcting, apply a concealer that matches your skin tone and set it with a light dusting of neutral powder. Remember: less is more to avoid creasing in fine lines.
