Concealer for dark undereye circles

[Tavia]

Hi girls,
I'm honestly telling you that I don't use any concealer and so far I didn't had any problem with dark circles. I'm almost hitting 30 but I'm using La Prairie anti-aging eye cream SPF 15 (my review here) which is really a miracle for my eye area. I sleep during day time for years and even if I miss one night of sleep this cream helps me. It's like a good night sleep for my eyes, trust me. I know the price is high but it's definitely worth it. A 15ml jar lasted me for about 6-7 months, using it 2 times per day. I usually like to use more creams, face masks and treatments than covering my face with makeup, because I don't use makeup all the time and I want to look good with my natural look.
Another cream that I've been using for more than a month now was La Mer moisturizing cream (preview here + photos). It's also anti aging and can be used on face, neck and around eye area but I have an oily type of skin so my face looks kind of shiny after I apply it. This cream would be great for dry skin types.

I'm NC25 too, but now i'm wondering why the SA put the peach on me instead of light peach..
Are your dark circles quite light? or did she give me the wrong shade?

I love Laura Mercier's Secret Concealor for the undereye. A tiny amount goes a long way, it is very pigmented. Set with a small amount of translucent powder and you are good to go.

Hi,
i've used tons of undereye concealers. since my face gets oily, i lean more towards creams, and whatnot.
the ones that i've liked most is MUFE camouflage cream and MAC sf concealer.
they're both very similar, but my BIGGEST issue is that they always crease. I have no idea what i'm doing wrong. I don't cake it on and I set lightly with my MSFN or MUFE HD powder.
Can anyone help please..? :/

I really like my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer. It's very opaque so it'll cover up even the worst dark circles, but it stays put all day like no other concealer I've ever tried. And it's a lot cheaper than the ones from MAC.

I have always had super dark circles thanks to genetics and have tried tons of concealers. Right now, I am using Youngblood's Ultimate Concealer. It's creamy but a mineral formula and it does not crease or cake. It has vitamin C and E and jojoba so it moisturizes. I'm pretty happy with it. You can layer on coverage as you need it.

I've blue darkish undereye circles, i'm very pale.
I use the Body Shop undereye concealer now, but you can still see the circles.
Anyone has a recommendation for me?

you want to find a yellow based concealer to fade away the dark circles, once thats applied you can add on your lighter/brightner concealer almay, bobbi brown, and mac have great ones

I haven't found only one working products but this combo has been working quite well for me. I have blueish circles. Anyway i use Biotherm Forget it witn Mac studio finish concealer. They work together just fine. Sometimes is also use instead of mac Make Up Store's Cover All Blue and that works as well as mac. It's a bit cheaper but not so much. But it's nice to chance every now and then.

AMAZINGconcealer works really well for me. I have had the same problem as you for years too, dry skin + dark undereye circles. this stuff is so creamy, u gotta try it out. the only down side is the price...

I'm currently using a teensy bit of MUFE lift concealer on the undereye area, and then MAC studio finish concealer buffed in with a 224 brush after. The results have been good. If I put too much the studio finish creases though.

I love Helena rubinstein´s concealer. It´s just great!!

 

[redenvelope]

I looove benefit erase paste; it's a bit pricey but so worth it!

Ive been using the Bobbi Brown Concealer and corrector for a few weeks now , and it works well with my skin . Although i do need to use Prep+Prime finishing powder to make it last the day .

 

[vintageroses]

i use Bobbi Brown Concealer and corrector too like CrazyBlue & it works wonders! Using the corrector helps to naturalize the dark eye circles, the corrector is a salmon-y colour so don't get freaked out when you see it! Then use a concealer & tada! PERFECT!I use dark peach for the corrector!

It is creamy & if you like liquid concealer this might not be your thing. You should give it a go! Go to the counter & ask the MUA to try it out on you then decide

Hope you'll get a good concealer! I took ages to find mine too!

I use benefit's boiing..it covers okay.

I have really dark undereye circles (I look like I got punched in the face) and there's nothing to do about making them disappear, they're hereditary so I can only hide them using makeup. I used to apply the general rule of using a concealer that's a shade lighter than your skin and it never covered up too well because my circles are WAY darker than my skin, so I end up covering something very dark with something very light and the result is grey and ashy.

I was at MAC last year looking at Studio Finish concealer and the MA suggested I tried NW 35. For reference my face is about NC40, so it looked very orange and dark to me in the pot and I thought she was plain crazy but after she applied it to one of my eyes -BAM!- my dark circle was gone compared to the other eye which was grey and ashy.

So if you have really dark circles, you have to choose a shade that is lighter than your circles, not lighter than your actual face. I blend out the edges with a concealer that's the same color as my skin and I get the best results ever. Obviously I can't wear it on its own, I have to blend out with something that's the color of my face but I'd rather spend on 2 different concealers than have ashy undereyes.

This also work on my acne scars which are way darker than my skin. If I apply a concealer that's my exact color we can still see the dark spots through the concealer no matter how heavy dury the concealer is, even MUFE Full Cover doesn't do the trick. So I dot a concealer that's darker than my skin but lighter than the spot with a tiny concealer brush and then I blend into my skin with another concealer.

I hope this helps someone, personnally it changed my whole perspective on concealer and color theory and my circles are less apparent than ever
