Prescriptives makes a few concealers with pink undertones that will counteract the blue in dark circles. On the cheap, I like L'oreal's True Match concealer in the lightest cool shade. (It's actually not that light.)
Does anyone else have darker skin on their eyelids in addition to dark circles under their eyes? If I don't use an eyeshadow base or concealer on my lid, I look like I have two black eyes.

I have tried lots of concealers myself and some work and some just don't hold the coverage! But I did alot of experiments on myself till I got the hang of the rite way of applying the concealer! b4 I used to apply a very heavy moisturizer (Pond's) under my eyes and used Studio Finish Concealer(in the pot) and the concealer would always slip away from my skin and looked horrible! I thought it was the pot concealer so I switched to Mac Select COver up! And then it did the same thing. So then I decided to switch my moisturizer and VOILA! Problem solved.
To conceal ur under eye properly, I use light moisturizer(wait 20 minutes or so) then apply UDPP under eye, then do my eye makeup then use Mac Select Cover up In Peach (found only at Mac Pro stores or the 1800#) and use my regular foundation on top of the Peach corrector and blend well! I've been doing this method for the past 2 days and I didn't even have to use my concealer ontop of the Peach concealer! It worked AWESOME for me! No creasing, no slipping away.

Thanks for the idea!
What is UDPP?
I can't get the peach corrector but I currently use another brand in yellow followed by SFF in NW25. I'm a NW20 in foundation.
I will try switching eye creams

yeah, it makes sense to use UDPP under the eye.. using it on your lid helps prevent creasing - it could also help the concealer from settling in the fine lines under the eyes.
I have been using Spackle primer by LG under my concealer and it works great!
lizzy - UDPP = urban decay primer potion

I had been using a cheap Essence stick concealer with Essence pressed powder on top, it was the best that I could find to cover my sunk-in purple circles. The last time I went to MAC, I asked to be matched, the MA did and told me that, for the circles, I should stick to a NW shade to counteract the cool tones in my circles. My Essence stick was running out, so I thought "what the heck" and decided to bring the Select Cover-up. Wow, just wow! Covers amazingly well with so little product that the tube is going to last forever! I dab some press powder on top to make it stick and maximize coverage and it holds all day long (or until I forget I have it on and rub my eyes because of my allergies).

I use benefits erase paste which covers and brightens dark circles or make up forevers camoflauge palette in 01 (this has a apricot concealer to take out the darkness and then a fair colour to match my skintone) so this is great and very convenient. hope this helped sweetie, good luck finding your perfect under eye concealer.

I'm kind of happy to see that this product is working for somebody! I have it, and I can never notice any kind of difference when I've used it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong! Do you apply it under or over makeup?
