Thanks Imogen! I’ve been plagued with dark bags around my eyes since my 20′s (it must be hereditary) but never been successful with completely concealing them. “You look tired” is an often-heard comment by well-meaning folks. So, I’ll give it another try. Specifically, what is the concealer you use? Do you have a recommendation for darker Asian skin?
I use a stick concealer that has a slight orange tint to it (as my bags are blueish). If your under eye circles are more purplish, then go for a slightly yellow tinted concealer. It’s worth going to a department or drug store and trying on a bunch til you find one that works with your skin colour. It’s shouldn’t be darker than the rest of your face, but neither should it be a whole lot lighter as then you look like you’ve been skiing and sunburned around your ‘googles’
Thanks Imogen! Will give it a try.
Hi Imogen, really good information. I have always had dark circles. I used some of my mother’s foundation when a teenager at school to try to cover them, I was always conscious of them. Now I am almost 70, I have wrinkles in this area, so constantly need to check the concealer etc and re blend with cotton bud! Am experimenting with types of concealer and foundation, and will give Inika mineral powder a test soon, they say it doesn’t stay in wrinkles! I tried your tips yesterday and felt brighter. I love all your information, thanks so much. Elizabeth
Elizabeth I’m so glad you feel brighter!
