If you want to really lighten dark circles under your eyes, choose a shade lighter than your skin tone.

Why is this a good deal? 💰
Are you looking for a highly coveted concealer under $10? Critically acclaimed concealers often come at a higher price point. Not only is this concealer marked down from $11 to $9, but it also doubles as a multi-purpose makeup product. And it’s not just a concealer. Apply a shade like Brightening 160 to the high points of your face for a lifted effect. Use a darker shade under your cheekbones and on your temples for a classic contoured look.
Why do we need this?🤔
Available in 23 different shades, two of which are specially formulated to correct and neutralize uneven skin tone, this liquid concealer is lightweight yet highly pigmented. It can be used to cover everything from dark circles under the eyes to sudden pimples on the nose and brighten the inner corners of the eyes. And it doesn’t look powdery; instead, it has a slight shimmer that gives it a medium to full coverage glow.
Aptly named ‘Age Rewind’, this vegan formula contains a powerful combination of Goji Berries and Haloxyl to brighten dark circles. The formula itself is very thin, making it super easy to blend and build up to cover any areas you want to hide. You can also use the concealer as a foundation.
It would be remiss of me not to mention the iconic applicator. Instead of a doe-foot applicator, brush, sponge, or fingers, Maybelline’s concealer has a sponge on top (like a mini Beauty Blender). With a few clicks, the concealer rises to the top of the sponge. This allows for a smooth, seamless application of product without smudging your other makeup tools. It’s also fun that the concealer looks like a little microphone.
Reviewer comments 💬
Needless to say, shoppers of all ages are going crazy for this Maybelline concealer — in fact, over 145,000 people have given the product a five-star rating.
Pros👍
“If you’re like me, you’ve tried 20-30 different concealers and never been satisfied. This really lives up to the reviews,” said one five-star reviewer. “Ever since I had skin cancer removed, my nose has been bright red like Rudolph. It’s magical. Complete coverage of vibrant red. Even green makeup can’t erase the red.”
“I’m older (over 50), have very fair skin and moderate dark circles and wrinkles under my eyes,” wrote another fan. “I can’t use thick concealers anymore because they sink into the lines. This concealer goes on so smoothly and works so well at covering blemishes and smoothing out lines. I’ll be stocking up just in case…”
A third customer said: “So easy, I love it! [this concealer] It’s best applied with the cushiony, soft applicator. It glides on easily, blends easily with your fingers, looks natural on the skin, and doesn’t cake up too much in the crease under the eye. The applicator is also perfect for applying as a contour or highlighter.”
Cons 👎
Some shoppers aren’t a huge fan of the way the products are dispensed: “I like the packaging but it’s super annoying having to twist the top so many times to get the product out,” one shopper wrote. “Sometimes it just sits there twisting for what feels like an eternity. It should be quicker to get the products out.”
Other users also noted that it can be difficult to match the right shade: One shopper found what they thought was the right shade to be too yellow, while another who tried on three different shades said they tended to turn out darker than they’d hoped.

Use different shades of concealer as contour and highlight for extra definition.
