Undereyes Are Having A Moment (& It’s Not Just Concealer)

Cheeks get blush. Skin gets foundation. Eyes and lips get, well, everything else. So here’s a question: what about undereyes? The answer: they’re finally having their moment. And it’s a micro-trend that’s worth getting (very) excited about.

Your under-eye area may not be the sexiest part of your face. But for the first time, there are so many ways to make it pop. Between patches, highlighters, tints, shadows, and color correctors that promise to neutralize every shade of "I stayed up too late last night," the undereye has officially graduated from afterthought to full-blown category.

The payoff is simple but powerful: a smooth, bright, even-toned undereye makes you look awake and glowy almost instantly. In fact, with the right undereye products, you can go ahead and skip the rest of your routine — and still look put-together.

SHEGLAM is ahead of the curve with a lineup of products that give the undereye area the focus it’s always deserved. Ahead, our favorite picks that you’ll definitely want your — ahem — eyes on.

A Hydrating, Full-Coverage Concealer

With 10 shades to match every skin tone and four color correctors to cancel out whatever's going on underneath, you'll never hear "you look tired" again. The creamy liquid formula does more than just cover, too. Ingredients like glycerin and jojoba seed oil hydrate and lock in moisture, while caffeine and niacinamide help fade dullness. In terms of feel, the concealer has a thicker texture that stays put instead of sliding around. The correctors go the opposite way, with a dewy, watery consistency that blends out easily. Each is ideal for layering or great for wearing alone, too.

A Six-Shade Color-Correcting Palette

Here’s a true color-correcting palette for canceling out the uneven shades in your skin (like dark spots, red patches, yellow tones, or dullness) that you'd rather not see. The right corrector depends on how light or deep your skin tone is — and with that in mind, each palette has six shades and comes in four colorways. Dab the peach shades over dark circles to neutralize them, or add the yellows to brighten. Pick whichever one tackles your concern that day, or layer them to cancel and brighten in one go.

A Stackable Pen For Brightening Or Concealing

This stackable crayon has everything you need to sculpt, brighten, bronze, and highlight — but the matte highlighter shade for the undereye deserves a special shout-out. Draw a dot or two right beneath your eyes and in the inner and outer corners for a soft, luminous lift. Wear it alone for subtle brightening, or over concealer for the full bright-eyed effect.

An Easy-To-Blend, Long-Lasting Cream

This velvety cover-up leaves the skin beneath eyes smooth, soft, and glowy without much effort on your part. The buttery cream melts in and blends effortlessly, with a cushiony feel that never turns dry or heavy. Even better? The full-coverage, long-wear finish holds up, so it stays put through the day.

A Multi-Purpose, Multi-Shade Concealer

The colors may be rainbow-bright, but they're here to erase any redness, darkness, or dullness. As vibrant as they look in the tube, they melt right into skin, neutralizing as they blend, so you can even wear them without concealer on top. Each shade has its own job (it’s color theory!), so pick what you need: peach brightens undereyes, orange takes on grayness and deeper dark circles, green calms redness, yellow wakes up dull patches, and purple cancels out sallow tones. White brightens and adjusts the shade of your concealer or foundation, while blue blends into either one to tone down any unwanted warmth.
