The age old question… should you go lighter or your exact skin tone for your under eye concealer? I think you should do what makes you the happiest!!! But, I did want to provide some advantages/disadvantages to doing it either way: One shade lighter can definitely brighten up your undereyes. However, if you go too light, it can do the exact opposite. Bringing light to areas only draws more attention to that area. Meaning, if you’re trying to conceal darkness and go too light with your concealer, it’s going to bring more attention to that area. It could also have a graying effect, which is definitely not what we want to cover any sort of darkness or discoloration. If you choose a concealer closer to your exact skin tone, it will ultimately look more natural and not draw as much attention to your under eye area but just know, it won’t give you the light and bright vibe. Now I’ve talked about under eye color correctors and I stand by them! If you have any sort of darkness or discoloration under your eyes, I always recommend a color corrector. Something with a pink/peach undertone (for lighter skin) or an orange/red undertone (for darker skin). These will cancel out any blue/purple tones under the eye and neutralize the area. There are a lot of great options in terms of under eye color correctors that you can either wear alone or underneath concealer. Please let me know if you’d like to see a video with some of my favorites! As always, let me know if you have any questions and follow for more easy, and everyday makeup!
