Remember when super fine eyebrows were the highest standard of beauty in the ’00s? *guilty laugh* Well, the noughties produced quite a few questionable makeup trends and one of them is back and has gone viral. Influencers are swearing by this white concealer hack to cover up dark circles and we millennials are getting some major flashbacks. Now, we know it sounds weird and it also makes us kind of nostalgic, but we have to admit that no throwback makeup hack is ever exactly the same once revived.
We’ve seen excessive baking and wildly bold contouring in the millennium decade and all of it focused on brightening the under-eye area to the max. So, when we caught wind of this viral colour correcting hack for dark circles we had to do a check to see if it’s worth bringing back.
Viral Makeup Hack: White Concealer For Dark Circles
Through this hack, white concealer is used to cancel out the blue and purple tones of dark circles and therefore needs to be applied before foundation. Once applied, blend on your foundation and the results will be illuminating. Check out this review video to see how it goes down.

What Do We Think Of It?
There’s always been debate about whether you apply concealer before or after foundation, but the jury is out on this one because white concealer must be applied only under foundation and definitely not above. This also means that we won’t be struggling to find the perfect shade of concealer as this hack has got it all taken care of. Does it hide dark circles well enough? Yes, and it also gives off a brightened under-eye effect that adds lift to your facial features. Personally, I will only be giving in to this hack if I am out of regular concealers or orange colour corrector because I don’t need much coverage for my dark circles. But, if you do need the coverage and or fancy that noughties makeup aesthetic, then by all means jump right on it.
There are other ways to reduce the appearance of dark circles if you aren’t already sold on this trend. For that we recommend:
This hack definitely works and it’s all left to personal preference if you want to indulge in the trend.
