Your concealer will do the hard work when it comes to covering the look of dark circles under eyes, but applying foundation is the key to a smooth, even-looking complexion.
Choose one of Charlotte’s fabulous foundations and apply using Charlotte's Hollywood Complexion Brush or your fingertips. After laying down your foundation, you’ll be able to identify areas that need a little more coverage while giving your concealer something to seamlessly blend into.
When selecting one of Charlotte’s foundations, there’s a range of finish and coverage options to choose from:

Concealer is the key to covering dark circles under eyes with makeup – Charlotte calls concealer the magic wand of her makeup kit! Applying under eye makeup allows you to build coverage that diminishes the appearance of dark circles, leaving the under-eyes looking smoother, brighter and more energised.
With NEW! Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer, Charlotte knew she wanted to combine the confidence of buildable coverage with a radiant-looking finish and the hydrating powers of hyaluronic acid to create a concealer that benefits the skin around the eyes every time it’s applied. It provides medium-buildable coverage for camouflaging and covering the look of dark circles, while the supercharged formula provides the hydrating, nourishing benefits of an eye cream – a perfect recipe for concealing under the eyes.
Focusing your concealer on the darkest spots such as on the inner corners and under the eyes, and then blending out the edges into your foundation helps to disguise and cover the look of dark circles in seconds!
To appear even more BRIGHT-EYED, choose a shade of Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer that’s 2 shades lighter than your skin tone and apply it to your eye area. This illuminating technique is a way to trick the light, creating the appearance of brighter under-eyes by counteracting darker pigmentation around the eyes.
Tilbury Tip: For deep set dark circles, Charlotte also recommends applying Magic Vanish colour corrector to counteract blue-grey tones around the eye area. Apply before your foundation for an undetectable application.
If you love the look of LIGHTER, BRIGHTER under eye makeup, finish your look with NEW! Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish, a brightening finishing powder that signs off your makeup look with a weightless veil of brightness. Choose between Fair-Medium, a translucent shade that’s perfect for fair-medium skin tones or Tan/Deep, a yellow-toned brightening shade. Apply the finely milled powder on a fluffy brush, sweeping it under the eyes to give the eye area a more LIFTED and LUMINOUS look.
