How I conceal my under eye dark circles (Best Under Eye Concealer!!!)

Without makeup/With makeup

 

Throughout the years I have searched for the best undereye concealer. I've purchased dozens of concealers from high end to drugstore, you name it I've bought it. But I've had issues with this concealers, they were either too thick, they would crease, they wouldn't last all day, they wouldn't have enough coverage, or the worst not the right color!! Finding the right color is so important when it comes to finding the right undereye concealer. Everytime makeup artist tried to match me for concealer they would pick colors that were my exact color which for blemishes or other parts of my face that is fine but not for my under eyes. I would buy light concealer, but when you get a color that is too light you end up looking crazy in photos. I've even tried pink concealers! Nothing seemed to work.

One day I was at a CCO, and saw the Estée Lauder section, and I thought I would give their concealer I try, I was intrigued by the color, it was light but it seemed to be yellow based.

This concealer is truly my holy grail under eye concealer!!!! It's perfect! I've used up two tubes and I will continue to repurchase. And I set the concealer with Laura Mercier's Secret Brightning Powder. It gives me the best cover have and a beautiful glow under my eyes.Below is my process for covering my dark circles...

Dark Circle: No Makeup

My entire life I have suffered from under eye dark circles, it was a great gift that was passed down to me by my paternal grandmother. I would get made fun of because of my dark circle so once I got into makeup I became obsessed with finding the right product to help conceal them,                         

 

                          

I dot about four dots using the dome sponge applicator from the concealer.

                             

I then use a dense angled brush (this one is from real techniques brush) to blend the concealer, I am very gentle in this area and I do a stippling and patting effect to make sure it spreads and blends well. 

                        

To set the concealer I then use a white translucent powder (Laura MercierSecret  Brightening Powder) using a fluffy blending brushing and sweep it gently under my eyes. 

                        

And here is the end result (please excuse the rest of my face! I have no foundation and had just come of the shower :/

You can really see the difference in eyes. I just love how this process and products provide a glow under my eyes. It photographs well and dosen't me look like a raccoon. Here are some selfies and you can see how natural it looks, and no dark circles! 

                                

Natural looking under eye...No dark circles!

                                 

So in all I highly recommend Estée Lauder's Double Wear concealer as well as Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder.
