Do you have very dark under eye circles? Are most concealers too sheer for your needs? Do you love high-end quality at a drugstore price? Well, if you answered "yes" to those questions, then this review is a must-read for you!
My Dark Under-Eye Circle Story:
Alas, I was "blessed" with super dark under eye circles. Combine this with my fair skin, and I have a look that practically resembles black eyes when I don't wear concealer. So, you can see that a great under eye concealer is an every day necessity for me! I absolutely do not leave the house without it.
Why do I have dark circles? Well, it appears that all of the causes of dark circle come in to play. My dark circles are due to heredity, general lack of sleep (I have to wake up *so early* for work!), and year-round allergies.
Since I have only had limited results eye creams having any reduction in dark coloration, I turn to concealers. So, what do I look for in a good under eye concealers? Its a tall order! I want at least medium coverage-heavy coverage that is build able. My dark circles vary in intensity and I want to build the product up thicker in the darker areas. So, I don't want a product that cakes when layering product. While I want medium-heavy coverage, I also want the concealer to have a realistic texture and to look natural on the skin. Furthermore, I need a good color match. With my very fair skin, I often find that various brands do not have shades light enough for my skintone. Also, when searching for under eye concealers, I often like to choose shades with a peach tone as this has color correcting benefits for my particular under eye circles. Finally, I want a concealer that will last all day without touch ups. I know, this is a lot to expect of a concealer!
So, how did the
Hard Candy Glamoflauge fare? I am excited to tell you, so please keep reading this article after the page jump!
