Do you have really dark circles under your eyes? Well I do. I have it actually all around my eyes. Unfortunately I have always had them, however, as I've gotten older, they have gotten darker. I have been using top of the line eye creams since I was 25 years old and yet...nothing lessens the darkness. So, I have been on a mission to find something that will actually cover them all day.

I've been trying numerous concealers. Most worked fairly well, but not as well as I wanted for the darkness of the color around my eyes. I started looking for concealers that were orange/red in color to hopefully conceal it than just yellow based concealers that I've always used.

So, I found MUF's HD Concealer in the shade Apricot Beige. I looked at it on my hand and I started to feel nervous to actually apply it to my face. It did not match my skin in any way, shape or form. I understand the color wheel and how this color 'should' cancel out my dark circles but...this was scary. But, I purchased it!



Here are some facts first:
What it is:An oil-free, medium-coverage concealer that covers imperfections while remaining invisible to high-definition televisions and the naked eye.

What it does:
This concealer creates a soft-focus effect, brightening the eye area while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a natural, radiant look. The innovative soft silicone applicator enables precise application for a perfectly even finish on camera and in person.

What else you need to know:
This Sephora-exclusive concealer comes in 14 shades to suit all skin tones. It costs $29.00 for .05oz.


So let's put this baby to the test. Even though I hate this part, I figured I better take a picture of my eye with NO MAKEUP ON. My skin is just cleansed and moisturized. Nothing else. See picture below.


Scary as it is, you can see the darkness around the left side of the picture especially. My entire mobile lid (small as it is due to having deep set eyes) is this dark color as well. Now, the picture below is with ONLY the concealer.


See the orange color? Scary right? I applied it everywhere I saw the dark pigmentation. I also applied on my mobile lid. The consistency is a little thick, which I like. A little, and I mean, a little goes a long way. I feel that because its a little thicker, it covers easily with just a little product. The picture below is a picture with my foundation on top of the concealer.


Ta-da!!! See the difference? Now I have to add here, that there are no filters on these pictures. You can see every wrinkle, pore and untweezed hair on my eyelid! LOL. I have to laugh.... In case you are wondering I am using Illamasqua's skin base foundation in the shade SB 6.5.

Lastly, the picture below is with the concealer, foundation, eyebrows filled in with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Dark Brown and one coat of Roller Lash mascara by Benefit Cosmetics on top and bottom lashes. I have never felt this confident with my concealer. I've been using it for over a month and it lasts pretty much all day.


I hope this post has given you another option and has helped. Good luck to you and enjoy the rest of your day! Xo
