Short night or persistent fatigue? Here are some tips to help you choose the right concealer to brighten up your eye contour. All while blending away your dark circles for a natural look!

Choosing your concealer based on the color of your dark circles:

Before choosing the color of your concealer, you need to define the color of your dark circles. They (because yes, we say "un cerne" and not "une cerne" in French) vary depending on many factors. Indeed, fatigue, poor blood circulation, stress, hormonal changes or allergies can affect dark circles. They come in different shades: black to brown, bluish to greenish, or reddish to purplish. To cover up signs of fatigue as much as possible, your concealer should be very close to your skin tone. The eye contour tends to be lighter than the rest of your face, so it's best to choose a shade lighter than your complexion!

Black to brown dark circles: Black to brown dark circles are the most difficult to conceal. They are highly pigmented and can sometimes be a real nuisance. To hide them, simply use a concealer with orange pigments found in ivory, beige, or peach undertones. After blending it well, you can say goodbye to your dark circles!

Purplish to red dark circles: Purplish to red dark circles can be reduced with the help of yellow pigments. These pigments are present in the lightest shades. They will neutralize the violet/red effect of your dark circles in an instant. By applying the right concealer, you can say goodbye to signs of fatigue!

Bluish to greenish dark circles: For bluish or greenish dark circles, lean towards correctors containing red and pink pigments. These pigments will reduce signs of fatigue by neutralizing this blue and cold effect. If you don't have a concealer on hand after a long, eventful night, don't panic! You can use a red lipstick (yes, you heard right) which will be perfect for concealing your dark circles. 

Choosing your concealer based on your skin tone:

After identifying the color of your dark circles, you must absolutely identify your skin tone. A concealer that is too light or too dark can quickly become a "makeup faux pas". We recommend choosing a slightly lighter shade than your skin color to achieve the most natural result possible.

LIGHT SKIN TONES

If you have sun-sensitive skin and blush easily, you have light skin. Opt for pale shades that will blend more easily into your makeup. These shades will allow you to mask your signs of fatigue while illuminating your eyes. At Charlotte Bio, for example, our concealers suitable for light skin tones are the shades Ivory and Rosy Beige. They help conceal dark circles for a fresh and natural look.

MEDIUM TO DARK SKIN TONES

If you rarely get sunburned and your skin tolerates the sun well, you have a medium to dark skin tone. These skin types require more orange tones that will better camouflage everyday imperfections. Our shades Nude and Sable at Charlotte Bio are, therefore, perfect for you!

BLACK SKIN TONES

To camouflage your signs of fatigue, opt for dark colors related to brown shades. These nuances will give you a radiant complexion! Our Hazelnut shade will adapt perfectly.

How to choose your concealer online?

Knowing what type of concealer you are looking for

Choosing makeup online is not always easy; it is essential to check the certifications and labels of the brand, then to analyze the composition and characteristics of the product.

To best conceal signs of fatigue, the important thing is to choose the right color and texture. The concealer shade should be close to your skin tone. Since the eye contour tends to be lighter than the skin color, choose a slightly lighter tone for a bright and natural effect.

Paying attention to the concealer's formulation

To ensure that a concealer's composition is clean, you need to pay attention to its labels, certifications, and the tests carried out before the product is put on sale. Conventional concealers contain chemical minerals and preservatives, which come into contact with your mucous membranes and can, in the long term, damage your eyes. 

Our Charlotte Bio concealers have undergone several tests to guarantee the highest quality and safety for their use. All our concealers have been developed under dermatological and ophthalmological control. They are hypoallergenic, and only contain natural ingredients that are gentle on the eyes.
