Concealer for dark undereye circles

[shadowaddict]

Have any of you tried MUFE Lift Concealer? I hear it is great for dark circles and it has something in it that helps reflect the light away from any lines. I have been meaning to get by Sephora and check this out but haven't made there yet. I do like using Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder over concealer and it last forever.

I love Tarte's The Eraser concealer. I am not big on the stick/pen applicator, but I just apply some to my finger tips and then dab repeatedly under my eyes (I have BAD dark circles, mostly inherited from my mother and a biproduct of having two kids that never go to sleep easy.) It was an easy color match (Medium Beige for me) and it's a light formula that isn't greasy or drying. Around $19USD -- found at Sephora. Sample it before you buy it; I fell in love instantly!

Oh, and P.S. I use BE as well and I really think it works quite nicely with the powder.

For pictures, I recommend using Studio Finish (MAC). I actually use Studio Finish if and when I do peoples make up for photos et. It provides excellent coverage for under eye circles and when used lightly can hide blemish marks.
Do....use a concealer brush to apply the concealer and your index (middle finger) finger to blend(just pat it). Then heat from your finger will help it set better.
Do....set it with either MAC Select Sheer powder or MAC Blot Powder
Do.... invest in a good sunscreen. The blemish marks on your skin wont go away unless you take better care of your skin. the sun just makes them darker.

Maybe go to a Clarins counter and get the MA to put it on you to see.

I ended up buying all three, Bobbi Brown's corrector and creamy concealer and the Guerlain pen.

The Guerlain pen I only use when I want to sport a no makeup look and just want to naturally brighten the area. The Bobbi Brown one is fabulous and both corrector and creamy concealer worked flawlessly together.

I really want to buy the Kevyn Aucoin now... yup concealer whore(ish)

Thanks for the tips.

MUFE Lift Concealer, it works wonderful as a concealer base and neutralizes the color of my lids (didn't notice no lifting though), but for someone who has very dark circles, it doesn't work by itself, it has to be paired with a creamier product that provides more coverage.

this is or dark boys or girls, i mean nw40+ or nc 40+ (more like african american, hispanic, indian, arabian)

grab mac's ruby woo lipstick with a 217 brush and buff it around the dark spots, then go over it with mac studio finish concealoer in your skin color and your dark circles will fade away, the red lipsitck will help fight off darkness and not make your concelor ashy... hope this helps

No7 Instant Radiance Concealer is pretty good at covering dark circles. It's really light and you can put as much as you need on without it caking.

I found Benefits Bo-ing concealer too thick and heavy to use under my eyes. And it's a little too dark (even in the lightest shade) for those of us who have a pale complexion.

Oh actually, the pen I bought was from Clarins, not Guerlain, but I'm glad you found something you like.

How do you like the BB Corrector? How does it compare to MAC Studio Finish? Cuz I didn't like that one at all...

I really like the Corrector, the texture is just right and on days that my circles are not as dark, I can wear it on it's own and it neutralizes the darkness just fine.

I never liked MAC's concealers, I don't like the texture and for something of the sort, I've always preferred the MUFE concealer palettes which is what I carry in my kit.

I use Jane Irredelle Concealer; I love it
for Keven Acoin's product's; Has a website with his products
I never used Laura Mercer but heard nothing but good things about their products

Lancome waterproof effacernes

 

[fashionette]

I use mineral foundation as concealer on pimples. just apply with a small eyeshadow or concealer brush and set with a little powder. Voila!

 

[iluvmac]

I just want to tell you I tried Helena Rubinstein's Magic Concealer (in Medium) and that it's A MIRACLE on dark circles!!
For reference, I'm NW20 in SFF.

Clé de Peau in Ivory, it's amazing. You just have to moisturize the under-eye area well otherwise it will crease.

I apply it with a concealer brush and the tube lasts forever.

 

[hunnybun]

i too have horrible dark circles and swear by 3 words...

ysl touch eclat!!

total holy grail. it's pretty expensive, but the color neutralizes and conceals the undereye are like magic. the best part is that the texture is so light -- so unlike other concealers i've tried, it never looks heavy or cakey.

i know that lancome makes a similar product that may be a cheaper alternative w/ a very similar forumlation.

Seriously? Le Touche D'Eclat can't even begin to neutralize mine and the colors look odd in me and I've pretty much tried all colors I could and it always made my under eye area appear green or ashy... I would love to be able to use it though.

I have to try that! I never tried Helena Rubinstein,from MAC, Bobbi Brown and so on works nothing on my skin. The best concealer is my Studio Stick Foundation (!!) in NW 20
