Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
MAC Select Cover-Up is good if you only need light coverage.
MAC Studio Finish Concealer is heavier and I would advise you not to use that if you have dry skin. It cakes and makes the eye area look even more dry. Also, I've found that it settled on my lines even though I used a makeup primer under it.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
for dark undereye circles i have a few favorite items i like to try on customers. Stila Illuminating Concealer (it's light and reflects light so that it makes your lines appear brighter. it works well even on deep skin tones!), Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage (it has 2 shades, one for the undertone and one for the surface tone so you can custom blend to your true shade). and one of my favorite concealer brush is B.E's maximum coverage.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I would have to say Laura Mercier's concelear the one that comes with two shades that you can blend to have a perfect match...dont remember the name...that one is great!!

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I tried Lorac's undercover lover at Sephora last w/e. It lasted forever and didn't crease on me at all. As for coverage, harder to judge since my problem there is not so bad. But I'd guess medium coverage.
The MA/SA at Sephora recommended the Stila in a tube very enthusiastically. I have a little bit in a container to try.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I love the MUFE lift concealer, it totally does not sink into any lines, goes on smooth and blends beautifully. I'm about NC20-25, and use #3 which is a neutral shade.
They also have a full coverage concealer

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I use Prescriptives Camouflage Cream concealor on the dark circles under my eyes, their color system works out well. I also use it with a concealor brush, which helps to make it look natural.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I just started using LM Secret Concealer under my eyes, and it's working better than anything else has.
BB Creamy Concealer didn't really cover my undereye circles.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I've got problematic dark undereye circles and I've found the solution on Bobby Brown corrector. At the stand they proved a lot of combinations on my skin and my perfect match was porcelain bisque corrector. I´m in love with it. MAC concealers doesn´t fit me.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
Honestly, as much as I ADORE MAC, the only thing I refuse to wear from this line is ANY of their concealers and I own every single formula. What works best is concealer by "Amazing Cosmetics" and trust me, it really is amazing. You need only the tiniest little bit. I swear by the stuff and before finding this, I had tried every brand on the planet.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I have awful purple circles and I tried for a long time to conceal them with no luck, often it would end up looking worse than no concealer at all. For a couple months, I used Dermablend's quick fix concealer stick, which worked pretty well with a little bit of effort but often was frustrating. As I would assume is for many other people with undereye circles, the skin under my eyes is very thin and the stick formula was too heavy for my circles. Dermablend became cakey and faded throughout during the day, and for some reason after my dermablend stick broke I was using a regular dermablend concealer, which was very opaque and had lots of coverage but was even cakier and harder to use. I now use Mac select cover up, which I didn't think would be enough for my circles but works really well with makeup wedge sponges. I also find it's easiest to work from the inside of the eye to the outside, it makes your circles appear even darker if the outer eye area is even brighter. It also helps to put some concealer along the corner of your eye toward your nose. Using Benefit eye cream and a setting powder works wonders in terms of caked on concealer and prevents mascara and eyeliner from smudging where the circles are.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I have the same problem, and the last time I visited the MAC counter the MUA suggested Select Cover-Up Color Corrector in Peach, which is a Pro product. I use it together with my normal Select Cover-Up and it's a miracle!!

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I would agree with going for an illuminator as opposed to a concealer..
Im a sufferer of DUECE (Dark UnderEye Circles Ennonymous <-yes I know thats the wrong spelling but it sounded better than DUECA).
I have tried a million concealers and everytime it makes me look green or a muted black! They dont actually conceal anything!
So I tried L'Oreal Illuminating Pen. It does reflect light under your eyes and I found the darkness a lot less prominent and there was no caking to be had

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I got MAC Select Cover-Up last week. It's okay... I wish it covered up a little better without creasing... But for now, it'll do until I try some more stuff out.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
Right now I'm wearing Dior's Anticerne Perfecteur, with a touch of La Prairie's Lumière Fantastique - Traitement Cellulaire Anti-Cernes Illuminateur. And there is no creasing, long wear and I don't need to set it with powder.

I do, too. They have one specifically for undereye circles, however, that's not the one I use. It just doesn't work with my skintone. I'm about an NW20 and I use Physicians Formula medium Gentle Cover concealer stick. It works great. Since it's a stick, it's a little thick, but you just have to use it sparingly and blend it in well. I don't set it with powder and it stays on all day. I would definately reccomend it, and it's so inexpensive! I love it.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
Everyday Minerals has a light, yellow concealer called, "Sunlight". It does WONDERS on my under eye circles. I usually use it with a wet brush, lightly pat on and blend lightly. Works wonderfully! Good luck with the pictures!
everydayminerals.com <-- the website for them.

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
I've always had dark circles under my eyes and have never found a concealer that didn't cake and covered at the same time. I like a concealer that isn't too stiff or hard (like much of the creams) but isn't too thin so coverage is not compromised. I think I found my HG concealer! Someone gave me a sample of the Lancome Maquiconplet and I LOVE it!! I will definitely purchase when I run out!

Re: Concealor for dark undereye circles
i think the best concealer ever invented has to be YSL touche eclait
you can use it for dark under eye circles, blemishes, on the sides of your nose to make it look narrower, around your lips to make them look plumped or just on your face in general if you dont like wearing too much foundation im onto my third one in a year and i would never use any other concealer
