Hi, I'm Alexandra and I was hoping to get some advice from people who might know a little more about these things than I do. This is a question about under eye concealers vs under eye brighteners. I'll start off by describing my skin type: I have fair to medium, dry skin with gold undertones. I am not prone to breakouts and I have been blessed with clear skin, so I don't wear foundation. I do, however, have under eye circles that the "shadows" extend to pretty much around the entire socket.
Since I don't wear foundation, I was looking for advice as to which type (or if you have an actual product recommendation, I'm all ears) of product I would be able to use if I wanted to hide my dark circles without wearing foundation or a full face of makeup, since most concealers look really strange if you wear them alone without a full face of makeup. You know how it just makes the upper half of your face look really weird, since your under eye area is naturally always a slightly different shade than the rest of your face and a concealer just kind of paints over that and make your eyes look one color and weird? What kind of product would you recommend that can be worn by itself to help conceal under eye circles that won't look too obvious without a full face of makeup? Something preferably hydrating with benefits and that won't cake or sink into fine lines, since I do get dry under my eyes and concealer tends to settle in. Any ideas or suggestions? I had heard that there was a difference between concealers and brighteners, but I really am not makeup savvy enough to know what that is.
Any and all input is greatly appreciated!
