Hello @Karuna Vihan,

Don't match your under-eye concealer to your skin: If you want a natural-looking finish, your under-eye concealer shouldn&rsquo;t match your skin colour. While you want your foundation shade to be spot-on, you need to strategise a bit more with concealer.

When you're working on red spots, the objective is to make them blend into the rest of your skin. When you're working with dark under-eye circles, your goal is to lighten the area. This means that you can&rsquo;t use one concealer for both jobs.

For under-eye concealer: Go for a shade that's around two shades lighter than your skin. If you have to choose between two products, for example one that's one shade lighter and one that's three shades lighter- grab the concealer that's closer to your natural skin tone.

Tip: An easy way to find a good match is to test cover-up on the veins on your wrist. If the product hides your veins and looks natural, it'll look perfect under your eyes.
