All about organic dark circle correctors
The eyes are the favourite part of the body for 42% of the French1. Yet it’s also on this part of the face that the first signs of tiredness show. Even after a good night’s sleep, dark circles sometimes make an appearance. Our organic dark circle corrector is perfect for camouflaging grey or blue shadows and concealing imperfections. Do you know how to choose and use it? Absolution offers you a solution to illuminate your eyes.
Understanding everything about under-eye dark circles:
Dark circles are a common appearance concern. They make you look tired and can darken the most radiant faces. To diminish dark circles you need to understand them, their causes, and how to deal with them.
What are dark circles?
Dark circles are dark areas located under the eyes. They can be caused by an accumulation of melanin (hyperpigmentation) or because the blood vessels under this area’s delicate skin are particularly noticeable. Dark circles make the face look tired and older, which can affect self-confidence. There are different types of dark circles:
- Blue dark circles are caused by poor blood circulation (the bluish tint is the tiny blood vessels loaded with CO2 and visible through the skin).
- Brown dark circles related to pigmentation: melanin causes the brown colour.
What causes dark circles under the eyes?
Dark circles under the eyes can be due to several factors. Fatigue and lack of sleep are the most common causes. The skin is paler and the blood vessels are more visible. Genetics also play an important role – some people are naturally more likely to have dark circles. Ageing contributes to their appearance because the skin loses collagen and thins as you get older. Stress, an unbalanced diet, allergies or excessive sun exposure are other factors that can exacerbate the appearance of dark circles.
Good to know: Dark circles can reveal other health problems
Often benign, dark circles can sometimes indicate underlying health problems (anaemia, thyroid disorders, etc.).
How to avoid dark circles?
The first good habit to avoid dark circles is, of course, to get enough quality sleep. Adopting a good lifestyle, with a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants, also helps to reduce their appearance.
Make sure you hydrate regularly and limit drinking alcohol and caffeine. The use of care specific to the contour of the eyes, such as moisturising creams or masks, can also help keep the skin healthy.
Finally, it can´t be said often enough: taking care of your skin and protecting it from the sun with sunglasses and sunscreen is essential.

What is an organic dark circle corrector?
Despite a healthy lifestyle, dark circles can sometimes be stubborn. The only solution to illuminate the eyes is to opt for make-up containing a dark circle corrector. An organic dark circle corrector is designed to camouflage dark circles naturally.
Absolution’s certified organic dark circle corrector is formulated with natural organic ingredients such as jojoba oil and many other organic extracts.
The skin of the eye contour is particularly delicate and sensitive. This is why our make-up products respect the epidermis and the environment.
Their creamy texture makes them suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
How to choose the perfect shade of dark circle corrector?
To achieve a natural result, it’s important to know your complexion and skin tone. Absolution offers five different shades of anti-dark circle correctors to match your skin as closely as possible.
A general rule of thumb is to choose a shade slightly lighter than your foundation to illuminate the area under the eyes without creating too marked a contrast. For very pronounced dark circles you can use a slightly orange or peach corrector to neutralise the blue and purple dark circles. Our Multicorrector in apricot (n°10) is perfect for this!
How do you use a corrector?
For a harmonious and natural result, use the right application techniques:
- Prepare the skin by moisturising the area under the eyes well.
- Apply the product by tapping the corrector gently with your finger or a brush to fix it well.
- Blend the edges for a natural effect.
- If you wish, apply your background foundation or BB cream for optimal coverage for your skin tone.
- Use a powder over the corrector to fix and prolong the hold.
3 points to remember:
- Dark circles may be due to, among other things, a lack of sleep or poor blood circulation.
- Absolution’s organic dark circle correctors camouflage dark circles effectively and naturally, in addition to a healthy lifestyle.
- To illuminate your eyes, choose a slightly lighter shade than your skin tone.
