I have suffered genetic dark circles my whole life. Sleeping a weekend wouldn't help me. (Thanks Mom for the genes!)
In summer when I go lighter on my whole routine, I blend a matte peach shadow into undereye circles and then a touch of Benefit eye bright and blend before applying a tinted moisturizer. Looks natural and not too perfected. Lighter , brighter and does what I need it to.
Other times of the year when I wear a fuller coverage base, I used to use Amazing Concealer but recently picked up Kat Von D tattoo concealer and wow....
I am currently using MUFE Mat Velvet in a 35 and picked up my Kat Von D concealer in a Medium and I am just shocked and amazed. I figured it would be ok, but not my solution as I have searched so long. Just make sure to moisturize the heck out of your face and eye area as both products are VERY matte. And no, I do not have dry skin. I actually lean toward combo/oily.
Kat Von D has my vote. $25 USD and one easy step

concealer/corrector for "tan" dark circles, almost olivey?
I have dark circles that just look brown, or tan (no traces of blue here!), on my upper and lower eyelids. In flash photography especially, my dark circles look almost olivey compared to the rest of my face (because I also have ruddy cheeks which are very blue-ish red in comparison!)
What kind of concealer should I use to alleviate this? I always hear people talking about salmon-coloured corrector, but it's more for blue dark circles right? I was thinking that I should look for a more pink-y concealer to cancel out a bit of the olivey tones, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately I don't hear much about "brown/tan" dark circles, only the blue, so I have no idea. =\
Any specific recommendations? TIA!

Try a BB Bisque or dark bisque depending on your skin color... unfortunately on top of that you will need an illuminator like Giorgio Armani's no. 4 which is yellow -- this should even out your under eye circles but you will have to keep testing out products till you find the right correctors. Good luck!

I recently purchased Lise Watier's concealer wheel and use the ivory colour for under eye circle. This concealer wheel is seriousnessy the best concealer (all in one). I have no idea why I didn't get it earlier. Lise Watier is a Canadian brand but I think you can also order this online

You may have to try several types of concealer to find the perfect combination. I recommend Bobbi Brown Corrector as mentioned above or Creamy Concealer (depends on the level of coverage you want), Laura Mercier Secret Concealer, Lancome Photogenic and MAC Moisturecover. Once you conceal the dark circles, apply Clarins Instant Touch if you want to brighten the area and set the concealer with Laura Mercier Brightening Powder - that really makes a difference. HTH!

I have some olive-dark discoloration around my eyes as well. Oddly, peach or pinkish concealers don't help me (they do for blue though!). They just end up making the discoloration look grey and ashy. I haven't found a 'cure' for this but have found that very yellow concealers help a lot.

I use MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer, it's awesome. It doesn't crease or clog my pores and it looks great in pictures, it's what some makeup artists use for brides.

I would try the Camouflage Cream in Mauve from Make Up For Ever. Use it before your foundation to correct the undereye. If there is any pigmentation showing through after your foundation you can go over it again with a regular flesh toned concealer. You'll get such a good coverage doing this!!
From the MUFE website:
"The mauve shade #12018 camouflages light brown & yellowish spots on Asian skin."
Hope that helps!

I'm using BB Corrector in Light Peach as well. It does a great job. Sometimes I'll put on tiny amount of BB Concealer in Warm Beige after applying Light Peach.

I have tried laura mercier camouflage in the undercover pot, benefit lyin eyes and ooh la lift along with every other eye product they carry. In the end my twenty dollar cinema secrets concealer is my favorite. I buy it from my local makeup/beauty shop (sell products and equipment for movies)
If you're getting your picture taken, why not buy HD foundation, it will even out your entire face without looking like you're wearing makeup and you can concentrate and apply more on the eye area to erase your dark circles.

NYX Concealer in a jar. I'm an NC40 and wear Glow mixed with a lil Beige. Glow matches me perfectly so I like to lighten it a bit so it covers even better
. It's really concentrated so it covers so good with just a lil bit. It lasts all day on me, I just set it with pressed powder.
