Instead, choose a medium coverage liquid concealer and apply sparingly. For mature skin, steer away from anything shimmery or too heavy, which "will look unnatural," cautions Whelan. For acne and dark spots, look for long-lasting matte finish that will stay in place all day. ✔️ Finish: For dark circles and under eye discoloration, "look for concealers that have radiant or luminizing formulas," says Whelan. To cover acne, try and match your skin tone exactly or grab a green- or yellow-tinted formula to help neutralize the redness of the spot. For dark spots, look for peach undertones to neutralize the dark brown cast. ✔️ Shade: For undereye circles, opt for a color that's a shade or two lighter than your natural skin tone, which "will brighten up the under eye area and disguise the dark circles," says Whelan. ![]() The key is to find the right formula and tone for whatever issue you're trying to hide.
