Best Concealer for DARK CIRCLES?
I have dry skin and dark circles under my eyes...are you happy with your concealer, if so, what brand do you use?

I've been through a lot and I'm tired of wasting my money... so I figured I'd get recs from the pros on here. 8)

Thanks.

concealer recs...
for me, it's a toss up between lancome's photogenic and origin's concealer (can't remember the name but i believe they only have one anyway). both are pretty killer when it comes to circle coverage. i've tried dermablend before as well but i'm still undecided about that one.

I haven't tried other brands, but studio stick foundation with a 224 works better than any MAC concealers for undereyes.

lancome's photogenic is the concealer that I would suggest as well.
I also use dark circle correctors. My favorite is Chanel eye tonic, its like $50.00 for .3 oz. But its ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! But there are some you can get at a Drug Store for a decent price and work well

Concealer for dark undereye circles
It's true. I too, am a victim of dark undereye circles. What is the best concealor for them? I don't have any skincare/face make up from MAC, just e/s, lipglosses, etc. What do you think about Studio Fix Concealor? I want something versatile (something that will cover up my blemishes on the face as well as hiding those circles). I don't want to consider foundation though because I already use BE. Please help. I need to find something before I get my senior pictures taken!

I use MACs Select Cover-up. It's exactly what I was looking for. I use it under my eyes, usually after I've pulled an all-nighter studying. I also use it on my blemishes. It looks best with a tad of blot powder over top.

Select Cover-up is good for undereye circles but it broke me out used elsewhere on my face.

My all-time favorite for under-eye circles is Kevyn Aucoin's Sensual Skin Enhancer because it's super pigmented and you don't have to powder it to make it last.

Well, it's sheer. For what I needed, it covered pretty darn well; even on the dark spots I get on my face. I tried it with the 182 brush and it's looked so good. It looked better than my 194 which is for concealer.

Thanks a lot for the help. I guess it'd be best to go to MAC myself and see the products for myself haha

What I use is not MAC *gasp* but it's a staple, I think it works well because it isn't thick, I don't like most concealers for under the eye b/c they are too thick and crease/cake up. Benefit's boi-ing has heavy coverage without being "heavy." And also their lemon-aid works great too, it's the whisper-light texture with awesome coverage I like. If you want to try it, go to your nearest sephora and swipe them with a qtip and take it home, try it there.

Definitely! - since they all give different types of coverage. I love love love it as a base for my eyeshadow. I haven't touched my paint since I bought it.
