Ready to ditch dark circles? Whether yours are genetic, have appeared with age, or like to emerge after a sleepless night, the right under eye concealer can brighten dullness, disguise discoloration and make all the difference.
If you’re searching for the best concealer for dark circles, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve tested countless formulations to develop the perfect solution, and our Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Concealer is the best yet. Plus, we have all the expert tips you need to apply your concealer like a pro.
We made it our mission to create a concealer that not only acts as the best colour corrector for dark circles but also leaves the under-eye area looking smooth and supple. Here’s how…
Hydration upon contact and powerful oil-control for 24 hours.
Our featherlight formula provides immediate moisture for easy and precise application, but it won’t slip and slide, either. Coverage stays put thanks to micro silica spheres that absorb sebum and provide powerful oil control.
Flexible, comfortable wear.
Concealer creeping into your smile lines? Not on our watch. InvisiFlex Technology steps in with flexible polymers that move with your facial expressions. No creasing, caking or cracked under eyes here.
Medium-to-full coverage and soft focus finish.
Build from a medium to full coverage finish to suit the depth of your dark circles. With a soft-focus finish that blurs pores and imperfections, you’ve got complete camouflage control.
Next-level staying power
24-hour oil control + 24-hour weightless wear = 24 hours of undetectable dark circles.
Comprehensive shade range
It’s not the best concealer for dark circles if there isn’t a shade to suit your skin tone. With 30 to choose from, we’re confident you’ll find your fit.
How to Choose Your Perfect Double Wear Concealer Shade
Our concealers follow the same naming system as our foundation shades. They’re divided into three categories: cool (C), neutral (N), and warm (W) – referring to your undertone. The numbers that follow each letter correlate to the depth of the shade, with larger numbers representing deeper tones. If you’re already using an Estée Lauder foundation, a similar number concealer is a great starting point. Never been shade matched? Double Wear Stay-in-Place Concealer is part of our Perfect Match Guarantee program, so if the shade you select isn’t a perfect match, you may send it back to exchange for another shade.
How to Apply Concealer for Dark Circles
Ask any makeup artist how to cover dark circles, and they’ll tell you a little goes a long way. Here are some expert steps to nailing your technique:
Focus product on the darkest spot of your under eyes. For a lot of people, this will be the inner corners closest to the nose.
Add product slowly. Start with a little and build coverage if needed. It’s easier to add more product than it is to take it away.
If all else fails, use your fingers. Blending gently with your finger can help the product melt onto the skin and better reach small areas under the eyes. Gently dab, don’t swipe.
Set for extra coverage and longevity. For the best full coverage concealer finish, set with the Double Wear Stay-in-Place Matte Powder Foundation to maximise longevity.
How to Fix Concealer Creasing Under Eyes
Hydration is crucial if you’re looking to avoid under-eye creasing and cakiness. The best concealer for dark circles, mature skin and dry skin will already have built-in moisture, but it’s still important to prep the skin with hydrating skincare, particularly with products specific to the eye area, like those in our Re-Nutriv eye care range. Allow any skincare a few minutes to absorb before layering with makeup. Using a setting spray like the Set + Refresh Perfecting Makeup Mist as a finishing step can also help makeup to look better for longer and keep creasing at bay.
Can Estée Lauder Double Wear Concealer be used on all skin types?
The Double Wear Stay-in-Place Concealer is perfect for all skin types, delivering hydration upon application and oil control throughout the day. It works particularly well for oily skin, thanks to micro silica spheres which provide powerful oil control for 24 hours.
