If You've Got Dark Circles, You NEED These Concealers In Your Life
The only thing worse than feeling like crap after you’ve gotten approximately zero hours of sleep is actually looking like you’ve gotten zero hours of sleep. Whether they’re from a wild night out, hyperpigmentation, or just unlucky genetics, dark circles happen to the best of us.
TG, though, those "raccoon eyes" (ugh, what a terrible name, right?) can be pretty easily hidden—you just need the right concealer. These are the best concealers for dark circles and spots, according to makeup artists.

Dubbed the perfect salmon concealer, this pick has been used on celebs for TV and film for a long time. “Eve started the trend many, many years ago to cover darkness with an orange shade and then tap a flesh or natural skin tone color over it,” says Mickey Williams, celebrity makeup artist. “You need to cancel the gray or bluish tint with a neutral ‘salmon’ shade.”
2) Sheer Tint Eye Triple Complex Broad Spectrum SPF 30

“This multi-tasking product gives a sheer tint that can be used to neutralize dark circles,” says Maddie North, editorial and celebrity makeup artist. “It’s also super-hydrating and provides UV protection, which is amazing.” North suggests layering this pick under foundation.
3) AMAZING COSMETICS Concealer

If you can find the right shade, this concealer will be your best friend. “It’s heavily pigmented and will dry on skin and stay in place,” says Williams.

“This pen is the perfect touch-up tool for those who have the groove of darkness under their eyes with a light to medium tone skin,” says Williams. “Pump the perfect amount out and then apply into the groove where there is darkness.” Williams suggests allowing the concealer to dry on skin a bit and then gently pat into skin with fingers until blended.
8) Dermablend Quick-Fix Full Coverage Concealer

The amount of coverage you get in Dermablend products is unreal, so a little bit goes a long way. “This is my pick if you have very dark circles and need a high coverage product,” says North. “The stick application allows you precise application, so even if you’re not a professional makeup artist, you’ll have an easier time using this product.”
