The Best Concealer to Use for Under-Eye Circles
You bought a raved-about cream concealer and you were so excited to take down those under-eye circles once and for all. Until it started to crease midday. What gives?
It's nothing personal—it's just not the right type. Turns out, different parts of your face need different formulas, and liquid is best for that delicate under-eye skin. They're usually silkier and won't settle as easily into fine lines around and under your eyes. Save your cream concealers for blemishes since they're a little more heavy-duty and less likely to wear off throughout the day.
Now that you know liquid is best, here are seven great options to conceal dark circles.
