LR Signature Concealer – for dark circles and eyes that look tired

Why do dark circles make you look so tired?

A short night, a long week at the screen or simply the way your skin is built can leave bluish or brownish shadows under the eyes. They make the whole face look tired, even when you feel fine. Many people reach for a thick concealer and then find it settles into lines or looks like a pale patch by lunchtime.

The LR Signature Concealer is designed to avoid that. LR describes it as light, with no mask effect, so it covers what you want covered and still looks like skin. A soft-focus effect blurs small irregularities, and because it brightens the area around the eyes, it gives you that fresh, rested look you were hoping a good night’s sleep would bring.

It is also useful beyond the under-eye area. You can dab it onto a red spot, around the nose or on any small imperfection, and make-up artists like to use it on the eyelids as a base before eyeshadow.

Which shade should you choose?

Each concealer shade is matched to the Signature foundation with the same shade name and is one nuance lighter, which is exactly what you want under the eyes. If you already know your foundation shade, simply pick the concealer with the same name.

You choose your shade on the LR page after clicking the button. The range can differ from country to country, so the LR shop for the UK always shows which shades are currently available.

How should you use it?

• Prepare your skin first: apply your usual skincare and let it settle.
• Apply where you need it: dot the concealer under the eyes and onto any small imperfections.
• Blend it in: use a brush or a damp make-up sponge so the edges disappear.
• Use it on the lids: a thin layer on the eyelids works as a base for eyeshadow.

What do people ask about it?

Does the concealer cover dark circles?

Yes. LR states that it conceals dark under-eye circles and minor imperfections and brightens the eye area.

Will it look cakey under the eyes?

LR describes the texture as light, with no mask effect. Blending it with a damp sponge and using a thin layer helps it look natural.

Should my concealer be lighter than my foundation?

For brightening the eye area, a slightly lighter shade works well. That is why each Signature concealer is one nuance lighter than the foundation with the same shade name.

Can I use it as an eyeshadow primer?

Yes, LR recommends it as a base on the eyelids before you apply eyeshadow.
