A beauty columnist has addressed the most frequently asked makeup question from women over 35: how to find an undereye concealer that does not accentuate lines and wrinkles by appearing cakey or dry. The advice emphasises the importance of hydrating and smoothing the undereye area with a moisturising skincare routine before applying concealer.
Among the recommendations, Givenchy’s Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Concealer (£37) is highlighted for individuals in their forties and older, noted for its balance of moisturising properties and lasting coverage. For those with drier skin, Dior’s Forever Skin Correct (£35) is suggested for its full, lasting coverage without exacerbating dryness. Glossier’s Stretch Balm Concealer (£22) is also mentioned for its moisturising texture, though it offers less pigment.
NYX’s Bare With Me Concealer Serum (£9.99) is presented as a well-priced option, offering both coverage and moisture with a lightweight, fluid texture. For individuals with natural oil around the eyes who may prefer a blurring effect, Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer (£31) is recommended for its high coverage and soft, matte finish.
The advice also includes a tip on finishing, suggesting the use of modern powders lightly applied with a small, fluffy brush over concealer to set the product and prevent creasing.
