The Mistake: Concealing Without Color-Correcting According to Babaian, the key to hiding dark circles, which is a problem for a lot of mature eyes, is all in color correcting.
"You see discoloration around the eyes no matter what the skin tone," she says. "The shadows of the [wrinkles] often appear gray, so use a slightly pink-based concealer for light-to-medium skin tones, and peach for medium-to-tan." These peachy-pink products help neutralize dark circles, as well as dark spots caused by the sun. Babian recommends applying concealer to the inner corners of the eyes with a synthetic brush (try BH Cosmetics Brush V7 - Vegan Concealer Brush, $5.50). This will even out discoloration all around the eye, and give your eyes a bright wide-awake look.
When selecting a concealer, grab a color two shades lighter than your skin tone. If your skin is ultra-thin under your eyes, Babaian suggests Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat, $42, as it's sheerer than heavy concealers and won't look so caked-on. She loves Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer, $70, for light to medium skin and Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer, $27, for darker skin tones.
