💡 How to cover under eye bags starts with good prep — see it in action with the KentDO massager.
How to Cover Under Eye Bags
To cover under eye bags effectively, start with hydrated skin, apply a color corrector to neutralize darkness, then layer a lightweight concealer that matches your skin tone. Blend gently, set with a finely milled powder, and use brightening techniques to lift the area without creasing.
- Hydrate under eyes with a targeted cream.
- Apply color corrector suited to your undertone.
- Layer a light, buildable concealer only where needed.
- Blend with a damp sponge or soft brush.
- Set lightly with translucent powder.
Step 1 – Prepping Your Skin
Before concealer, proper prep is non-negotiable. Dehydration makes fine lines more obvious, while puffiness pushes concealer into creases.
- Use an eye care device or under eye massager for lymphatic drainage.
- Pat on a hydrating, fast-absorbing eye cream.
- Allow at least 3 minutes before applying makeup.

Under eye puffiness massage can smooth skin and improve concealer wear time.
Best Coverage by Skin Tone
Matching undertones is critical — the wrong shade can make bags look worse.
Skin Tone | Corrector Shade | Concealer Tip |
---|---|---|
Fair | Peach or pink | Choose lightweight, brightening formulas |
Medium | Peach or orange | Blend into foundation for seamless look |
Deep | Orange or red | Set with finely milled powder to prevent flashback |
Best Coverage by Age
Skin changes over time, so your coverage strategy should too.
- 30s: Focus on puffiness control with skin devices and light coverage.
- 40s: Color correct before concealer; avoid heavy layers.
- 50+: Prioritize moisture and avoid powder-heavy finishes.
Boosting Results with Under Eye Massage
Under eye massage for bags encourages lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness before makeup. Use gentle sweeping motions toward the temples, applying minimal pressure.
- Improves circulation and skin tone.
- Minimizes fluid retention under the eyes.
- Helps concealer apply more evenly.
Using an Under Eye Massager
An under eye massager delivers targeted vibration or heat to reduce swelling and fine lines, making coverage easier. The KentDO Electric Eye Massager combines these benefits in a compact device for daily use.

💡 Under eye puffiness massage + the right concealer = youthful, bright eyes.
