Concealer for dark undereye circles

[curlyqmishee]

I have dry skin and dark circles under my eyes...are you happy with your concealer, if so, what brand do you use?

I've been through a lot and I'm tired of wasting my money... so I figured I'd get recs from the pros on here. 8)

Thanks.

I use the physician formula consealer and it works soooo good.

clinique quick corrector - awesome!

I've heard cle de peau is the rolls royce of concealers...but its 68 bucks US so I dunno, Im saving up to buy it myself(no job right now). I use a concealer stick from mac with the brush and that works for me for now.

[swankdizzle]

for me, it's a toss up between lancome's photogenic and origin's concealer (can't remember the name but i believe they only have one anyway). both are pretty killer when it comes to circle coverage. i've tried dermablend before as well but i'm still undecided about that one.

[fabbyabby]

I haven't tried other brands, but studio stick foundation with a 224 works better than any MAC concealers for undereyes.

[BeautifulPsycho]

lancome's photogenic is the concealer that I would suggest as well.
I also use dark circle correctors. My favorite is Chanel eye tonic, its like $50.00 for .3 oz. But its ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! But there are some you can get at a Drug Store for a decent price and work well

It's true. I too, am a victim of dark undereye circles. What is the best concealor for them? I don't have any skincare/face make up from MAC, just e/s, lipglosses, etc. What do you think about Studio Fix Concealor? I want something versatile (something that will cover up my blemishes on the face as well as hiding those circles). I don't want to consider foundation though because I already use BE. Please help. I need to find something before I get my senior pictures taken!

I use MACs Select Cover-up. It's exactly what I was looking for. I use it under my eyes, usually after I've pulled an all-nighter studying. I also use it on my blemishes. It looks best with a tad of blot powder over top.

wow, does it really have good coverage?

Select Cover-up is good for undereye circles but it broke me out used elsewhere on my face.

My all-time favorite for under-eye circles is Kevyn Aucoin's Sensual Skin Enhancer because it's super pigmented and you don't have to powder it to make it last.

[Lady_MAC]

Well, it's sheer. For what I needed, it covered pretty darn well; even on the dark spots I get on my face. I tried it with the 182 brush and it's looked so good. It looked better than my 194 which is for concealer.

Thanks a lot for the help. I guess it'd be best to go to MAC myself and see the products for myself haha

What I use is not MAC *gasp* but it's a staple, I think it works well because it isn't thick, I don't like most concealers for under the eye b/c they are too thick and crease/cake up. Benefit's boi-ing has heavy coverage without being "heavy." And also their lemon-aid works great too, it's the whisper-light texture with awesome coverage I like. If you want to try it, go to your nearest sephora and swipe them with a qtip and take it home, try it there.

[Lady_MAC]

Definitely! - since they all give different types of coverage. I love love love it as a base for my eyeshadow. I haven't touched my paint since I bought it.

[ShadowyLady]

I love MAC Studio Finish concealer. It's thick but can be sheered out easily, and it works under or over foundation (in my case Studio Fix). It works well for circles or blemishes. I use my finger to warm it up a bit, and I find that I don't need a brush to achieve the application I want.

[Midgard]

I also have very dark undereye circles and my two HGs are: Kanebo concealer and Lancome effacernes!

[exballerina]

Try stuff from Laura Mercier. I have the secret camouflage concealer (that covers up zits, scars, etc) and it works pretty well under my eyes.

I have gotten all of my KA investments (I'm a bit addicted to the line) at beauty.com since they have a good return policy. There are very few stores that carry the line. It's mostly high-end dept. stores in NYC and LA, and a few fancy boutiques.

[theleopardcake]

thanks everyone (:

Like green takes away rosacea red, peaches and pinks help to cancel out that sort of dark green under your eyes, so you may want to move into something warmer/peachier than your usual foundation.
Also go to the counter naked faced if you can...

[sewpunk]

I really really like Studio Finish Concealer. I dot on with a brush, blend with a triangle sponge, and press some Studio Fix powder on top, and I am good to go all day.

The method I described about is a great way to apply building coverage. I have days wear I need to apply three light layers to get the coverage I need, do to lack of sleep and too many cocktails, not the fault of the concealer! So yeah, I like it, and it lasts forever!

[miss_emc]

I swear by Benefit's 'Ooh La Lift'. It's not really designed for dark circles themselves, it's more of an eye lift, but i thought i'd give it a go anyway and boy did it get rid of those dark circles! It's a very sheer formula so it doesn't tend to cake and crease up in any little lines and the colour has a tint of pink/purple which counteracts any darkness under the eyes.

Honestly this stuff is amazing, and I was an avid used of YSL Radiant Touch (Touche Eclat) which is the biggest selling under-eye concealer on the market but this Benefit stuff is heaps better.
Also, i tend to get a bit of darkness on my lids so I use this on the lids too and it totally transforms my eyes from dark to bright! Love It!
