TikTok has declared concealer is over. I’m not so sure | Sali Hughes on beauty


Look further than the thick, old-fashioned stuff and you’ll find a new wave of barely-there products that lighten signs of tired eyes with an almost invisible finish

The company calls it “a sheer concealer” – I suspect for the SEO and algorithm – but it is designed specifically for adding instant brightness to dark circles. I just stroke the wand on to the inner/near side of my dark circles, then either tap the area with the pad of my middle finger or buff it with a concealer brush. I love its very moist, slightly tacky-to-touch texture, but if you are oily skinned and prefer a soft matte finish, Fenty’s Bright Fix Eye Brightener(£22) does a similar job and comes in a comprehensive array of colours.
