Well believe it or not I have used Revlon Color Stay Make-up, and its a great concealer. Another one is Jane concealer make-up which you can find at Wal-Mart. So if you are in a bind and can't spend no more than 5$ or so. get Jane...I use it and it is almost like Revlon color Stay make-up.

try lift concealer from MUFE or the full cover from MUFE but it's in a tube and they have a larger color selection. they're great! though the lift concealer is good for undereye and some other areas (it's really spreadable), i believe the full cover is a bit thicker and probably better for problematic blemishes... so it's really up to you!

The only concealer so far that has worked well for me is Sheer Cover's concealer....I hate their products except that one. I have alot of acne scars on my face and this product really hides them.

Make Up For Ever full cover concealer!

awesome stuff. I guess lift concealer would work too (depending on how severe your circles are), but mine have gotten tonnes worse lately (NW15 here!) and I look like I've been hit in the eye in photos!

Full cover works... and it doesn't budge

Just remember to work fast- and work with small amounts!! This stuff dries supperrr fast... and it's waterproof....

Does anyone else get a white/grey cast under your eyes from concealer?
Iv tried both warm and cool shades and they still don't cover but leave me with this weird colour?

i have mac's stick concealer. It's in pencil form. When I bought it at the counter the lady showed it to me for my dark spots on my face and i asked if it would work for under eye too and she said yeh, but I shouldve tried it out there, cuz it does NOT work. At least for me. I basically figured out I need some that is more like a cream or a cream foundation that I can apply with a brush. And like I said it's a foundation, not even a concealor, I use it like multipurpose. I use this fone rom Nixie. here's the link , it's the third one down.

I didn't read this whole thread (cause it's late & I'm lazy), but here are my thoughts on under eye circles....I don't really understand why people say that you should use a shade lighter than your skintone. I understand that you want to "brighten up" that area, but if you put a shade even lighter than your skin (and therefore much lighter than your circles) it's going to turn gray & just look bad. The best way to fix dark circles is to color correct them. Remember, work smarter, not harder.


Personally, I have very deep set undereyes (does that make sense?)...it always looks like my eyes are hollowed out, so the skin under my eyes in incredibly thin, add that to my terrible sinus problems & my incredible pastiness (W 10) & we get ginormous dark circles.
I used to use Studio Finish concealer (NW 15)-it worked, but caked a bit too much if I didn't use the proper primers, but I have recently become obsessed w/ color correcting (ok, not so recently, but I finally bought the stuff to color correct on myself)...Now I use Select cover-up in NC20-completely neutralizes the color of my circles. Stippling w/ the 217 brush gives pretty good coverage too (but since the color is fixed, I don't need to pack it on for coverage). The only thing I don't like is that I have to make sure to put something over it (foundation/powder) to make it not quite so yellow, but whatev, it looks much better than my Studio Finish.

Hope that helps someone.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd put in my suggestion. I have the most horrendous undereye circles and I was on a quest for the perfect concealer. went bare faced to Nordstrom with the intention of buying Secret Camoflague, but the MA said it wasnt supposed to be used as an undereye concealer. So, she went over to the Bobbi Brown counter and got a shade of her Corrector and Eye Brightner to try it on me. AFter a few trials, we found the right shade in the Bobbi Brown Corrector and Eye Brightner to cover my dark circles. She said went with a peach shade because it would cancel the darkness under my eyes. She used the Corrector half way thru the upper lid and midway thru under the eye (where the dark circles ended). Blended it on and then used the eye brightner over the entire lid. To set all this, she used Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder. My eyes looked very fresh and natural. She said not to attempt to cover the dark totally coz it would just look unnatural. The BB Corrector does an incredible job of covering the dark circles incredibly. The combination of the three products looks very natural and nice. I stopped looking for a concealer ever since this vsit to Nordstrom.. it really helped.

I have CRAZY undereye circles due to being so pale, and i use a combination of Benefit Lemon-Aid and Cargo One-Base. Cargo concealers are great for the undereye area.. they're very moisturizing and dont settle into fine lines but cover great.

My undereye circles are dark brown-purple looking , so nasty, I tried a LOT of concealers, and pretty much nothing work on me. this is all i tried..
* MAC all of their concealers
* Benefit Boi-ing and Lyin' eyes
* Lancome
* Clinique
* Prescriptives
* Make up forever lift concealer
* Bobbi Brown (corrector, comcealer and powder)
* Laura Mercier Brightening powder #2
* all drugstore brands...

And nothing! yesterday I went to the Prescriptives counter to try some concealer.. and it was funny the MUA asked me.. are you wearing concealer right now??? and I said yes.. she was like.. IT looks bad..I said.. I know, that's why I'm here.. duhh
Anyway, that prescriptives thing doesn't work either! =(
All of the concealer before mentioned look grey on me.. do you know if there is any way the I can "cancel" the Dark Brownish-Purple color under my eyes?? I know that yellow cancels red.. but how about the rest???

It's not always about the product, but more about finding the right color....if they are truly difficult, you may have to use more than one product (one to color correct-yellow corrects purple, green cancels red & vice-versa, one to blend into your skintone & if you want, one to brighten up the area)

I've tried reading through the thread to see if this was mentioned and I don't think it was (if I'm wrong, forgive me). I wear NC45 in the Select Tint, and went to MAC the other day to see if they had a concealer that would work well on me - I asked for light to medium coverage. The MA said the Select Coverup in NW35 was a good match.

It sounded strange to me to have an NC45 wearing NW35 and the color did seem a little "off", as if it was a bit too ashy or something. Do any NC45 wearers here also wear NW35 in the Select Coverup and find it a good match? Was the whole "it looks off" thing just in my head?

i was at the Giorgio Armani counter a few weeks ago - wanted to check out the High Precision Retouch concealer. the color didn't work for me - 3.5 was too light, 4.5 too dark and there was nothing in between. but, the MA used this color corrector concealer in an orange color on me, and it did the trick! but i don't want to spend $35 for the concealer. someone told me MAC has one but it's available at the Pro store only. so when i make a trip to MAC Pro, i'm gonna give this a try for my undereye circles.

btw, i use the studio finish concealer right now - but when my circles are really dark, i get that grey cast, too.

You should try Benefit Boi-ing Concealer. You can get it at Sephora...I loved mine so much I used all of it and the compact broke in half! It's wonderful and it comes in three shades. It's super-blendable, too. http://www.sephora.com/browse/produc...egor yId=5333
