Help me with my dark undereye circles, please?

[beetea]

I got a light up makeup mirror and now all I can see are the dark circles under my eyes. 🤣 What do I do to cover up this shit? A couple of things:

• I'm nearly 45. There are some fine lines.
• I wear glasses.
• My skin tends to be combo/oily but my under eye area is on the dryer side.

Any recommendations? I don't currently own a concealer - I'm assuming that's the first order of business? Or a color corrector? Do you layer these? What about foundation?

Thanks!

I'm 50 and wear glasses, and my under eye area is on the dryer side as well.

I start with a color corrector (right now using UD in peach, but I'm sure there are cheaper versions if that matters for your budget).

I then use a concealer, but nothing to thick, I like the Maybelline Age Rewind.

I then use a brightner if I feel I need it. Again Maybelline age rewind.

Do you already wear foundation? I put my foundation on first, then add all the layers for my undereye.

I do usually wear foundation. Do you layer the corrector/concealer/brightner on top of your foundation? Which setting powder do you use?

I like the Pixi peach corrector. I apply a small amount with my finger and blend it out with a beauty blender. I have dryer undereyes too and that melts on nicely. Still looking for that perfect concealer but I find less is more for application.

I use the Bobbi Brown corrector on top of my foundation. They also have a serum concealer version that was nice, but I'm generally dry so I've kept using the cream. I pat a small amount on with my ring finger, then blend using patting motions, then blend again with my beauty blender.

I’ve been using this for about six weeks now and my circles are significantly lighter: www.peterthomasroth.com/instant-firmx-eye-2201357.html?cgid=eye-lip-treatments#start=1

beetea, I realized this morning doing my makeup, I put my corrector on first, then foundation, then concealer and brightner. I'm using the TF peach powder right now, but also have the coverfx.

I use Hale & Hush Brilliant Eye & Lip Serum. I’m 42 and have been dealing with fine lines and dry skin around my eyes. I feel like since the day I tried it, that I don’t want to live without it. It has some reflective stuff in it too that helps with dark circles. I won’t use a concealer under my eyes unless I put some of the serum on first, because otherwise you can see the fine lines and it will get cakey looking because of the dry skin.

As far as a concealer, something with a peach tint to it will help with the dark circles. I use the Tarte cosmetics CC undereye corrector. I’ve also found that I have to use a different setting powder under my eyes than what I use on the rest of my face. I generally have oily skin. But the skin under my eyes dries out more now that I’m older.
