Some tips you can implement on your daily routine to help conceal dark under eye circles: 

·       An opthamologist tested and reported as safe is always best to make sure that something is going to be good and not harmful.

·         When deciding on the appropriate concealer color, choose a shade that is one to one-and-a-half times lighter than your skin tone. Choosing a concealer that is too light will result in a grayish, violet cast to the skin. Choosing a concealer that is too dark will only compound the problem.

·         Before applying any makeup, hydrate the eye area with an eye cream. The extra moisture will ensure that your concealer glides on the skin, making it less likely to appear cakey or heavy.

·         Apply your concealer after you apply your foundation. Your foundation will partially hide the dark circles under the eyes, lessening the amount of concealer you need to use.

·         Apply the concealer using a makeup brush. This provides more control and allows you to get into the hard to reach areas, like the corner of the eye, without getting the makeup into your eye.

·         If using your fingers to apply the concealer, use your ring finger. It's soft touch will lessen the likelihood of pressing too hard into the delicate tissue of the eye area.

·         If you concealer feels too thick, or tends to look dry and cakey, mix into it a drop or two of your favorite eye cream. The eye cream will help it absorb into the skin and thin the concealer into a more workable consistency.

·         Remember that less is more. Using too much concealer actually draws more attention to what you are trying to hide. Start by using only a little concealer under the eye, and add more only if necessary.
