If you like the pen style ones with the twist up brush variety, maybe try the one Clarins makes. I posted about it a few posts back. I have this one and like it, it blends really well and looks invisible when I pat it in. I think I will probably repurchase this when I run out. It's a bit pricey but I think less than the Touche Eclat.

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer is my fave & Laura Mercier is my 2nd fave

I am trying MAC Studio Finish right now and I am pretty happy about it. The MA showed me how to apply it with the concealer brush.

I love MUFE Full Cover Concealer. Other than that, I've liked Clinique City Cover Compact. I'm dying to try Benefit's Erase Paste now, but I'll always have a tube of the MUFE on hand.

Re: best concealer for dark circles?

select cover up is defo good but you have to re-touch, so I'd say try prescriptives the 'pen one'- sorry its a bit vague i'll look up the proper name when I get home- but it's defo the sh*t doesn't crease and you just need a little bit to cover the flaws you can also use it as a concealer on the face. its ace!! and I've tried a few. (they all crease other than this one!!!) hope it helps -x-

SO far either Kevyn Aucoin SSE (Got at the Neimans at Northpark in Dallas) or Mary Kay's concealer. Neither is full coverage on me (I seriously have what can qualify as football black goin on here) but they reduce them substantially. I usually brush some shimmery ivory or pale peach (cargo georgia) shadow in the inner corner and just below the tear duct to try to bounce some light.

I have yet to find anything opaque in the 68 different concealer products I have tried over the last 20 years.

My HG is MAC studio finish

I just got into a product called CoverBlend by Exuviance that was HIGHLY recommended by iamgrape1119 on youtube. Seriously, this thing is awesome! IT covers my under-eye dark circle really well. If I wear it alone with nothing else, I just set if with some Everyday minerals spring concealer powder and it's good for the day! =D

I have very dark cicle eyes, I use select cover up nw30, it's perfect, sometimes I use over this Studio light ,sand, so I can illuminate too.

I use Make Up For Ever's Camouflage Palette in No. 3. It's so convenient because I can mix and match the shades depending on my skin during winter/summer.

Right now, I'm using MUFE Full Cover Concealer. It's the best I've found so far. I can easily build up the coverage, it doesn't cake or crease on me, and it's also waterproof so it lasts all day. I don't know if I'll repurchase when I run out. I probably will, but I'm mightly tempted by KA SSE and Benefit Erase Paste.

When purchasing concealer, if you suffer from dark under-eye circles, purchase one that possesses a different pigment (or undertone) than your actual color and also color of the actual dark under-eye circles. For instance, if you have fair/light skin with rosey pigment (or undertone) and your circles are a blue, purchase a concealer that possesses warm pigments (or undertones) rather than using a lipstick.

"Orange" lipstick is often recommended under concealer as a base that meshes the actual color. Orange is a warm color and when you combine the colors together, it creates an illusion, as if the dark under-eye circles are invisible. You can use orange or even brown to create such an effect because they are both warm colors. The colors would have to be orange or brown, not mixed or collaborated with another shade. They would also have to be matte. This "orange" may not work on all skintones and pigments, especially those with warm pigments (or undertones). With women who possess warm pigments (or undertones) in their skin, including within their dark under-eye circles, "orange" would not work because it is a warm color. A woman with this issue would need a cool color such as "rosey red" or "fuschsia".

Most dark under-eye circles possess a purple or green kind of undertone, so yellow is possible to use, but only on cool pigmented (or undertoned) skin. You can actually use yellow, if it is brighter and a more visible color that can be build in place of the "orange".

I just bought this when I was picking up the faux effet cils mascara.. I'm regretting it big time! Its soo drying and it has an ashy kind of look. I don't know why makeup artists rave about this.. It doesn't cover or brighten anything for me!

I've just been using the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concelear. It's creamy and really orange, so it cancels out the blue!
