MAC Studio Chromagraphic Pencil (NC15/NW20)

I'm sure I've been thinking about ways to deal with dark circles for the past year and this year, but I'm actually talking about the dark circles that have been on my face for years. I used to have blue and brown ones, but now I've started raising black ones too, and caring for them is a lot of work. I'm still researching and haven't yet found the best method, but here's what I'm doing so far: First, calm the blue and brown ones with orange or pink-orange shades. Then, lighten the entire sagging area with a pink-toned concealer. (I'm currently using Addiction Color Corrector 01, but I'd like to try something else. I've already reviewed it.) Then, apply foundation. Trace the deeper parts of the dark circles (the crease) with a light-colored pencil, then blend inward with a concealer brush. (The Picasso brush is my personal favorite so far; I've already reviewed it.) Then, apply a light-colored matte powder to the crease. (MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Light, reviewed) The third step, a lighter pencil. I'd been using TIMAGE products until now, but I've been struggling with dark circles that have been getting deeper with each passing year. So, I decided to try MAC, which many people have raved about. Wow, artist brands really are amazing! I was blown away. The color is exquisite, bright but not too bright, and blends softly into the skin when blended with a brush. The blending is truly natural and beautiful. TIMAGE's particles are probably coarser and more powdery in comparison. That may have been one of the reasons why applying a matte highlighter on top of it made my skin feel dry. The Saem pencil is also popular, but it's too hard to use on the thin skin under my eyes. It's out of the question. Last year, I really got a feel for the power of MUFE and MAC, and rather than trying out a bunch of other low-quality, budget-friendly products, I'd go for MAC or MUFE. It's amazing how they keep improving their quality every year. All that's left now is to hone my skills...coexisting with bears is difficult.

It's very easy to use, as it can pinpoint and hide the areas you want to hide, lasts well, and doesn't dry out! I imagined it would have a thicker texture, but when I actually used it, I found it to be easy to apply and had good adhesion!

I bought this to hide dark circles under my eyes. I was hoping it would be less likely to dry out, but it did dry out. It's a pencil type, but the lead is soft and easy to draw with.

I've been troubled by dark circles caused by sagging under my eyes, and have tried every concealer out there, but none of them have satisfied me, so I've had to compromise. This is a pencil type that I've never used before, so I was intrigued. When the product arrived in the evening after work, I tried it on my dull, tired face, and was shocked by the results. No matter how many times I looked at my face in the mirror, changing the angle, the dark circles had disappeared. Amazing. This is the first concealer I've ever used. All I did was trace the thin, dark lines under my eyes. The results were so impressive that I ended up buying another one. I was shocked to hear that this product is no longer in production. I'll use it carefully and hope it makes a comeback.

I bought this to cover the dark circles under my eyes. It stays in place for a long time and stays looking nice, which is great.
