Singapore is ranked second for being the most sleep-deprived country, so it’s no surprise that dark eye circles have become a mainstay.
While we’d love to lighten them by getting our under-eyes tattooed, it’s safer to care for our skin and get more shut-eye during the work week. If your lifestyle prevents you from getting a full eight hours of sleep, turn to these 8 top under-eye concealers to fake a rested look.
It won’t rewind the clock, but this cream-to-powder concealer is the next best thing in a tube. The formula contains goji berry and haloxyl to brighten and smooth, so you can use the sponge puff to dab the product under your eyes and blend.
If you’re a fan of Kat Von D’s Lock-It Foundation, you’ll love its eye-brightening sidekick. Like the foundation, this moisturising cream concealer is dries to a comfortable matte finish without settling into fine lines. Its buildable, pigmented formula is also able to cover tattoos.
Sun damage can worsen dark circles, which is why IT Cosmetics has given their creamy, full coverage concealer a touch of SPF 50. The colour-correcting pigments diffuse dark circles, while the cool metal applicator depuffs and refreshes the under-eye area.
Designed specifically for the eye area, Laura Mercier’s hydrating concealer evens out discolouration with its peach undertones without settling into fine lines and wrinkles. It won’t crease even after a long day at work, so there’s no need for touch-ups.

If all fails, just glitter up.
