The Best Undereye Concealers

Everyone knows that I wear very little makeup; however, the one thing I wear every day is concealer. Yup, I’m hooked on a little tube of ‘paint’ to hide my fatigue. Although, to be fair, I might not need it much longer now that the holidays are over. The slightest bit of tiredness leads to the appearance of bluish undereye circles. I’ve tried a lot of concealers and I’m sorry to say that they are no miracle workers. That being said, some people have seen considerable improvement over time. Here are my top five concealer treatments:

Ginzing refreshing eye cream by Origins

I love Origins products. The formulations are kept simple and the products offer great value for the price. The main active ingredient in this eye cream is caffeine. A thin layer of product will instantly make your eyes look well rested and luminous. Be careful, don’t put too much on or it’ll look like you’re wearing glitter!

Price: $39

Available online and in speciality boutiques

All About Eyes by Clinique

When I want a refreshing gel treatment, I reach for Clinique’s All about Eyes. Apply it twice a day for a noticeable improvement. The texture is very lightweight, is suitable for all skin types, and will help your concealer stay in place. I use All About Eyes during the summer months when my skin requires less hydration. Store the little pot in the fridge to chill the gel for an extra boost of refreshment!

Ultra-Lift Eye Cream by Garnier

This anti-fatigue gel-like cream is formulated with active anti-aging ingredients. With my 30’s quickly approaching, I definitely appreciate Garnier’s Ultra-Lift Miracle Sleeping Cream! Apply it to your undereye area before going to sleep. You can use it in combination with other products for daytime wear. Ultra-Lift is a terrific product at an affordable price!
