Miss Color Theory’s Questions: How do I get rid of dark circles under my eyes?
Angelique’s Answer: Depending on your skin tone I think the best way to get rid of dark circles under eyes is a peach or salmon based concealer. One of my favorites is by Eve Pearl and it comes in different shades depending on how light or dark your skin tone is. It also has caffeine which works great under the eyes. Think of a coffee injection under your eye area– who doesn’t want that? If you have more of a genetic predisposition and the color under your eyes is extremely dark, I would take it a step further and use a color corrector underneath your foundation/concealer first. My favorite is from Makeup Forever. Once again it all depends on your skin tone, if you are very fair you may opt for more of a peach color but if you are dark you may go with something like a hot orange. The best thing to do is to go to the store directly and have the artists test it out on you so that you can see what works best! Don’t be scared to ask questions while there either– it’s the only way you are going to learn how to make it work for you! Good luck!
