Re: Can't find the right concealer to save my life
Yeah, have you tried MAC Studio Finish concealer? It can cover tattoos, so under-eye circles shouldn't be a a problem at all.

Re: Concealer for dark undereye circles
I have no idea why for me, in real life, i still can see my dark circles after using concealer, but yet taking photos, the dark circles are not there.

Re: Concealer for dark undereye circles
Eve Pearl makes a Salmon shaded base concealer that works great for this specific beauty issue. These concealers work great for hiding those dark under eye circles. Another great way to concealing undereye circles is using a matte orange lipstick under your regular concealer. This works as an irridescent color shield, canceling out the cool undertones of the eye. If your dark circles are more warm than cool, you want to use a matte fuchsia lipstick as opposed to an orange, which is a warm shade used to cancel out cool colors. Also before applying concealer, you want to use an ice cube in that area of your eye. It works great and you'll notice results in due time, Good luck!

Re: Concealer for dark undereye circles
I had gone to a MAC counter at Dillards for a rec on concealer. They lady had tried one on me and said that it was good, so I bought it. Now that I have it at home and can it in daylight, it is more tan than my foundation, which is makeup forever. Is the color choice right, or should I have paid more attention to what she was giving me?

Whenever you're purchasing foundation or concealer, do it during the day and after they applied it to you, come outside with a mirror and check it against sunlight. Department store lighting is about the most misleading thing when getting complexion products.

You didn't do anything wrong nor did the attendant, chuck it up to bad lighting.

Re: Concealer for dark undereye circles
Can someone please help me? I love MAC stuid fix concealer- it does a fantastic job, however, it always creases in my eye area, no matter how much I apply, or how much I try and spread it. I don't use a Brush - could that be the issue?

I have highly senstive skin, and use this as it is the only frangrance free concealer I can find.. Can anybody else recommend a good concealer for under the eyes that has no fragrance (NW15) or if this is the only concealer I can use, can somebody please help me get rid of these creases that make me look 20 years older in my eye area?

Thanks in advance!!

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!
Stuido Fix concealor works for me. I'm NC42 and I use NW30. It will cover both the blemishes on your face and will hide the circles. I would definitely recommend using Studio Fix concealer.

I was told by a lady at the MAC counter that she like to use a"fluffy" brush, the 217 in particular, and she just taps it on the under eye area...but I've never tried it myself...

Re: Concealer for dark undereye circles
After literally years of struggling and a product graveyard, I have finally found the solution to cakey concealers, discoloration, and product wear off

1. any foundation primer, I love BE Prime Time or Smashbox Photo Finish
2. benefit erase paste in #2 (the pink tone perfectly cancels out the purple tone of my undereye circles and blends much better into my foundation)
-apply with a small concealer brush (my small dollar store paintbrush works great)
-two layers does the trick for especially prominent circles
3. laura mercier secret brightening powder

don't forget to cover up the inner corners of the eyes as well. give it a try! you will not be disappointed.
