Dark circles, puffiness, and uneven tones under the eyes can make even the freshest face look tired. The right under-eye concealer and technique can instantly brighten your complexion and make you look well-rested. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, mastering how to apply under-eye concealer can completely transform your makeup game.
Step 1: Prep and Hydrate
Before reaching for any product, start by preparing your under-eye area. A well-moisturized base prevents creasing and helps the concealer glide on smoothly. Use an eye cream or hydrating primer to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, especially if you’re using under-eye concealer for mature skin.
Pro Tip: Wait one to two minutes after applying skincare before moving on to concealer. This ensures the formula adheres better and stays put longer.
Step 2: Pick the Right Formula and Shade
Choosing the concealer for dark circles that complements your skin tone and undertone is crucial. For bluish or purplish dark circles, go for a peach or orange corrector first, followed by your concealer shade.
PAC’s Studio HD Liquid Concealer is a lightweight yet high-coverage option that delivers a natural, skin-like finish. It’s designed to conceal without caking, making it ideal for layering and brightening under the eyes.
If you prefer a creamier texture, the Studio HD Concealer works beautifully for those needing extra coverage with a soft, radiant finish.
Step 3: Apply with Precision
When applying concealer, less is more. Using a brush like the PAC 219 Concealer Brush ensures precise placement and seamless blending. Its dense yet flexible bristles help you reach the inner corners and lower lash line with ease, areas often missed with a sponge or fingers.
Here’s a simple under-eye concealer makeup tutorial:
-
Dot a small amount of concealer in the inner and outer corners of your eyes.
-
Use the PAC 219 brush to blend in gentle tapping motions.
-
Extend slightly toward the cheeks for a lifted, brightened effect.
Step 4: Blend and Set
Blending is where the magic happens. For the best under-eye concealer technique, blend outwards and slightly downwards to diffuse the edges naturally. Avoid rubbing, as it can disturb the base and emphasize texture.
Once blended, lightly set the area with a fine translucent powder. Use minimal product just enough to lock in the concealer without dulling the brightness.
Step 5: Brighten and Refresh
For extra luminosity, finish with an under-eye brightening concealer on the high points of the under-eye area. This step adds a soft glow and helps reflect light, masking shadows even further.
If your makeup starts to fade during the day, lightly dab the PAC 219 brush with a touch of concealer and refresh the under-eye area no need to redo your entire base.
Perfecting your under-eye routine is all about the right prep, products, and tools. With the Studio HD Liquid Concealer, Studio HD Concealer, and PAC 219 Concealer Brush, you get coverage, comfort, and control, the ultimate trio for a smooth, bright, and flawless finish.
Whether you’re concealing dark circles, bags, or dullness, these steps will help you achieve a fresh, radiant look every single time.
