Selecting the colour of the concealer according to one's skin tone.
We have developedsix shadessix shades of concealer according to the Fitzpatrick phototype scale:
Type 1 : very light - pale skin with cool undertones. Does not tan and turns red in the sun.
Type 2 : Fair - fair skin with pink or yellow undertones. Gradually tans, prone to sunburn.
Type 3 : Medium - Medium skin with a predominance of warm or olive undertones. Tans easily but sometimes burns.
Type 4 : Matte - Matte skin with a predominance of bronze undertones. Sunburns are occasional.
Type 5 : Brown - brown skin with warm undertones. Sunburns are rare, the skin tans in the sun.
Type 6 : Dark brown - black skin with a predominance of cool undertones. Sunburns are rare and exceptional.
The under-eye concealer should have a shade close to your skin's natural complexion.
However, we recommend that you choose a shade lighter than your skin tone to brighten the eye area.
If the shade of the concealer is too dark, the appearance of your dark circles will be accentuated. However, if your concealer has a shade too far removed from your skin tone, it will not provide sufficient coverage. Moreover, if you use our concealer as a corrector, you should opt for the shade closest to your skin tone.
Typology Tinted Under-eye Concealers.
At Typology, we offer a range of tinted skincare products that are hybrid in nature, meaning they sit between skincare and makeup. They allow for a unified complexion while treating the skin in the long term. In this range, you will find our lip oils, our lip balms, our tinted serums but also our tinted concealers.
As previously mentioned, our tinted under-eye concealer sits between skincare and makeup. In addition to providing high coverage and a healthy glow effect, it is formulated with 3 active ingredients that work to reduce under-eye circles over time:
Caffeine.
When we consume coffee, our sleep can be disrupted, which may be the root cause of the development or worsening of dark circles. However, studies have proven that the topical application of caffeine improves the appearance of dark circles. This paradox can be explained by the fact that caffeine stimulates blood circulation. Furthermore, it promotes lipolysis , which helps to reduce under-eye bags.
The cornflower hydrosol.
Thecornflower hydrosol is renowned for its decongestant properties that help to reduce under-eye puffiness. By facilitating blood circulation, cornflower hydrosol stimulates the removal of accumulated fluids in the extracellular environment in the eye contour area. It thus helps to soothe tired and swollen eyes. It also helps toreduce the pigmentation of dark circles, making the gaze appear refreshed and brightened. Furthermore, cornflower hydrosol also provides aanti-inflammatory and soothing actionfor the thin and delicate skin around the eyes.
Niacinamide.
The niacinamide, or vitamin B3, helps to reduce the appearance of blue circles by stimulating blood circulation and aids in achieving a more even complexion.
When our tinted under-eye concealer is used as a corrector, the niacinamide helps to combat blemishes due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
It also aids in restoring the skin's barrier functionandcontributes to the healing process.
