Under-Eye Filler or Concealer? What Works Better?
Tear troughs refer to a groove that starts from the inner corner of the eye and appears on the nose side of the lower eyelid. It is caused by the shrinkage and sagging of the soft tissue at the lower edge of the orbital septum. The appearance of tear troughs makes the eyes look a little tired and old.

Here are some ways to help cover tear troughs:
- Concealer
Using concealer can effectively cover tear troughs. When choosing concealer, it is best to choose a color close to your skin color and apply it to the tear trough with a concealer brush or concealer stick, and then gently blend it.
- Foundation
When applying foundation, you can use a lighter color on the tear trough, and then use a darker color to contour, so that the tear trough looks less obvious.
- Highlight powder
Using highlight powder can make the tear trough look brighter, thereby reducing its sunken feeling. You can apply highlight powder to the tear trough and then gently blend it with your fingers.
- Injection filling
If the tear trough is more serious, you can consider injection filling. Injection filling can use materials such as hyaluronic acid and autologous fat to fill the tear trough, so as to achieve the effect of filling the tear trough.
- Surgery
If the tear trough is very serious, or other methods cannot effectively cover it, surgery can be considered. Surgical methods include orbital fat release surgery, eye bag removal surgery, etc. These methods can fundamentally solve the tear trough problem.
Concealer key points:
Apply concealer to the triangle area under the eye (a larger range), apply it under the eye with a small brush or fingers, and try to pat the connection between the edge and the surrounding skin.
Concealer selection:
1. Cream products are best. Concealer can perfectly cover dark circles and eye bags. When using it, do not apply too thickly, and press in a dotted manner.
2. If the dark circles are not heavy, you can also choose concealer pens or concealer liquids. Usually, the concealing power of such products is not as strong as cream concealers, but they are more moisturizing and are not easy to get powder when used under the eyes.
It should be noted that different methods are suitable for different people and situations. When choosing a method, it is best to consult a professional doctor or beautician and make a choice based on your actual situation. At the same time, before undergoing any cosmetic treatment, you need to understand its risks and effects, and be fully prepared and considerate.
