The Best Anti-Aging Undereye Concealers
Concealer — it can make or break your look. While the perfect concealer may not be able to undo all your sins, it can cover up those pesky dark circles and smooth any skin texture. Picking the wrong concealer though can cake into fine lines that naturally occur in the delicate undereye area, which will only draw attention to the area you were trying to conceal. Picking the right concealer that won't cake becomes even more difficult as we age. Thankfully, makeup companies have been paying attention and have been releasing concealers with the latest anti-aging innovations.
According to PopSugar, one such concealer is available at Target for only $14: The No. 7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Concealer. This concealer contains Argireline, an ingredient called "Botox in a bottle" for its wrinkle-reducing properties (via W Magazine). In fact, 50-year-old actress Idina Menzel wore this concealer to the 2020 Oscars. Another concealer with skincare benefits is IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Concealer (via Cosmopolitan). This full-coverage concealer contains collagen, peptides, and antioxidants all in a super-charged formula.
