4 Editors Test Tarte’s TikTok-Famous Under-Eye Color Corrector – ryan

After receiving high marks across feel, layering ability, staying power, efficacy and the application process (we all agreed our fingers were best), the answer for many of us was yes. “I’d definitely reach for this for special occasions or nights out when I really want to make the finished look more polished,” Clarke says. “Highly recommend it!” I also thought it fully delivered on masking tired eyes and brightening up my overall complexion.

While all testers unanimously praised its ability to cover dark circles, the limited shade range left some of us wanting more. “Next time, I might have to try a lighter shade,” Candelario says, “but with only four options, it might hard to find one that works with my skin tone.”

It should be noted that unlike your typical foundation or concealer, true color correctors use color theory to help neutralize (or, at least, minimize) certain skin discolorations like redness, brown spots and, yes, dark circles. Alone, they’re not meant to match your skin tone, and in fact, they often incorporate shades you wouldn’t expect to find in the skincare aisle, like orange, red, green and purple. But as a product that combines both coverage and color correcting, the Tarte CC undereye corrector is a bit of a makeup unicorn. The key to unlocking its full potential? Identifying your proper shade and seeing how it blends with your go-to foundation or concealer.

So, who’s up for a Sephora run?
