TikTok is flooded with videos with the hashtags “bronzerconcealer” and “bronzerundereyes,” where users try a new makeup hack: using bronzer instead of concealer under the eyes. Over the past month, this particular trend has become particularly popular, raising the question of whether bronzer can really cover up dark circles.

The bronzer, with its warm orange undertones, contrasts with the blue and purple undertones that often accompany dark circles. This contrast helps to neutralize dark areas, achieving a result that can be more even than a concealer that is not properly selected.

In short, bronzer works similar to a concealer in orange or peach shades. However, for best results, you can add some concealer over the bronzer to brighten the area, as the bronzer alone may not provide the necessary glow.

Beauty tips: Choose a soft orange shade of bronzer, avoiding very bright or glowy shades, to achieve the best result. Don’t forget to emphasize the blending, so that the colors mix evenly and the result looks natural.
