Concealer

                                What is causing the undereye problem?                                  

-delicate skin,stress,insomnia,alcohol,too much sodium or water retention.They say that if you put ice on your undereye circles it will get better.I've tried it and didn't find any results.Maybe you have better luck than me.If you can't get rid of them then you really need to use a concealer to hide them.

Determine what you want to cover up                                           

-blue or purple circles, reddish discoloration, puffiness, or some combination thereof? Are you also trying to minimize wrinkles and other imperfections? The answer to those questions may have an effect on the type and/or color of concealer chosen.

How you choose your concealer.:                                                   

Based on what you need to hide:                                                     

-if the circles are dark-bluish-purple than you need to use a concealer with a light yellow base.
-the red spots are corrected with the light-green concealer
-for the puffines you should try a softer pink tone.

Based on your skin type:                                                                

-for thin,delicate skin:a creamier,vitamin,moisture enriched version would do the trick.
-for normal skin with slightly large pores there are concealing sticks
-for the oily skin you should use a mineral concealer.

Choose your concealer one or two shades ligher than your skin tone if you are wearing foundation.If not,try to choose one wich is closer to your skin tone.And most important-always try it before you buy it.

How to apply it?                                                                             

Be cautious because the skin under your eyes is thin.You don't want more wrinkles to form.If you use a cream, powder, or mineral concealer, try using a concealer brush. It allows you to apply the concealer as lightly or heavily as you need without damaging the sensitive skin. Sticks, on the other hand, blend much better with a make-up sponge or your finger.

My recommendation:                                                                      

-a really creamy concealer with a 80% coverage is from the brand Too Face.You can find it in any Sephora shop.The price is about 130-150 RON but it's worth it and it lasts a while because of it's consistency.
-another good concealer at a lower price is from Max Factor 20 RON.
If you need suggestions about any other concealers(the green,blue,purple or red ones) I would be happy to answer any question but remember-don't buy any concealer; first identify the spots you want to cover and then choose the right colour of the concealer.
