How to Camouflage Dark Circles Under the Eye

With a few makeup tools, you can hide dark under-eye circles.

The last thing any of us wants to deal with is raccoon eyes. Unfortunately, dark circles are determined by more than just how we care for the skin under our eyes. However, even if you are genetically predisposed to dark circles, there are many ways to lighten and camouflage those dark circles.

Things You'll Need

• Eye moisturizer
• Light shade concealer
• Loose facial powder

Instructions

1. Dab on moisturizer lightly with your ring finger.

2. Apply a concealer that is lighter than your foundation or natural skin tone.

3. Apply loose powder over the concealer.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid rubbing your eyes, which causes the capillaries in the under-eye skin to break. If your eyes itch often, try controlling your allergies with eye drops or medication.

• Avoid using dark eye shadows. If you use a dark eye shadow on top, use a light one close to your skin tone directly under the lower lash line.
