UPSIZE PH | 5 Concealers That Really Work For Dark Undereyes

Not all concealers are created equal. Not all concealers can be used for everything you’d want to conceal. For instance, some concealers work for blemishes but not for the dark circles under your eyes. Usually, those that work for blemishes are too matte for the undereyes.

For the purpose of this article, we will only talk about concealers that work for the dark circles under your eyes. Since everyone is wearing face masks whenever they go out, the look of the eyes is very important.

Here are five concealers that will conceal the dark circles and bags you want to hide. We’ve only included those that are easily accessible in the Philippines.

The most unique proposition presented by this concealer is that it is “self-setting,” meaning there is no need to set it with powder. It’s very easy to apply, comes in a variety of shades and, once applied, is untraceable. This concealer makes you look like you just got a good night’s sleep. The one thing that be a con with regard to the Make Up For Ever concealer is the price, which is about Php100 shy of Php2,000 but for the promise of 12-hour crease-free wear, that’s actually not bad at all.

Issy & Co. Active Concealer

A hydrating concealer that visibly brightens skin and provides medium to full coverage seems like an oxymoron but this is exactly the promise made by Issy & Co. Active Concealer. This is the perfect partner for the brand’s popular Active Skin Tint, which provides minimal coverage. Do not expect this concealer to hide everything you want to conceal but you can build up the coverage up to medium. For Php399, that’s not bad at all. Get it here and here.

Another amazing thing about tint/concealer is its longevity. It surprisingly goes the distance. Get this for Php349 here and here.

Almost anything that comes from this brand is good and this concealer isn’t an exception. It doesn’t just conceal, it also blurs and smoothens imperfections. It also contains collagen-boosting peptides and hyaluronic acid so the delicate skin under your eyes is cared for. A pot costs Php1,800 and that could be a con for some people but it’s worth it.
