What colour is best for hiding dark shadows under eyes? light or medium coloured concealer?

It depends on your skin tone, but you definitely want your concealer to be slightly lighter than your skin. I have medium olive skin, and swear by a peach-toned concealer. It counteracts the blue/purple of dark circles. I also use a yellow-based one that works great too. Here is what I use:





Yellow based, works for everyone: Bare Minerals Well-Rested (truly a miracle worker)





Peach based, works for olive tones: Bare Minerals Vanilla Sugar (it's an eyeshadow, but it works great as a concealer)





Whatever product you decide to use, apply it with a light hand and very, very gently. Don't pull or tug on the skin, and blend it in by gently patting it with your ring finger.What colour is best for hiding dark shadows under eyes? light or medium coloured concealer?
To be honest it depends on your skin tone.


Because if you have tanned skin and you put really light concealer then it makes you look really weird and the same happens if you have fair skin and use a darker concealer... =S


So just compare them with your skin tone, obviously concealer does have to be a bit lighter than your skin tone to cover up but not too light


Hope it helps!!! =D

Better than trying to conceal dark circles have you tried products to reduce dark circles? Try kyri and kimi under eye gel. It is made with natural ingredients and slowly firms skin under the eyes and reduces dark circles. The website even has instructions on how to apply.
jcx2525, I use dark cover stick and (after choosing your shade of foundation) the next darkest shade of cream to powder foundation to cover darkness; after wards go over entire face w/your foundation shade and set w/loose translucent powder. My choice of products is aularale.com/7002.
light becuase bagy eyes are blue skin minerals and yellow cancels that out like when you have spots, or you're just red you put green :):) xxx hope this helps:)
Under the eye brightener stick
physicians formula talc free mineral wear concealer works good
Apply primer first. I recommend MAC.
