Rather than trying to cover them up, check out a highly rated product called 'Baebody Eye Gel'.

The reviews are great, with a lot of before/after photos from reviewers.

You'll have to Google it, since a link would be deleted, but look at the big 'A' site.

@bonnie f Many times, dark circles under eyes are hereditary and have nothing to do with the amount of sleep. Instead of piling on heavy concealer, try a corrector (usually in a peach shade) to cover the darkness. Then a little concealer on top to blend in with your foundation shade. I use Bobbi Brown’s corrector.

Did you ever try a corrector under your concealer? I like Armani master corrector in #2. It erases dark circles no matter what concealer I use. I like the Amani because it is so thin when applied. Other companies do make a corrector for less.

I recently started to use IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Concealing Cream. This stuff is awesome for me. I have terrible hereditary dark circles. I have tried what seems like every cream, lotion and gel and nothing diminishes them. I have to rely on a concealer.

The IT product is a neutralizer and concealer. It comes with a double ended brush because you supposedly can use the product as a foundation too, which I can't imagine. But for my circles, this has been fantastic.

@bonnie f I also have - or had - very dark cicles. I also have tried tons of products. Years ago I found Hydroleyes (you'll find spelled with a 'z' too). Never have I ever stuck with a product as I have with this one. This one is the only product that works for me.

There may be some who may laugh at this but I do swear by it. Stopped for a brief time but I'm back on it, will not be without it.

@KingstonsMom During my off time w/above mentioned I have tried this product. I also returned this product as it didn't help me.

I learned recently at my dermatologist's office that a very effective treatment is filler for dark circles and eye bags. It creates a barrier so it doesn't show through.

For the bags, they strategically place filler so they aren't as noticeable. Wayne Goss on Youtube had this done and he has videos where you can see how unnoticeable his bags are after treatment. My mom had hers removed but filler is a viable and less invasive option that offers immediate improvement.

I've had dark circles all of my life and tried so many products. I finally found Bobbi Brown correct & conceal duo for that area. It works!!!! I also have struggled with puffiness under the eyes due to allergies and found First Aid Beauty Eye Therapy works to reduce that problem.

I use this highly-rated concealer by Maybelline. It has the consistency of a liquid foundation, goes on easily, does not settle and does not leave a tacky feel. I don't even put a setting powder on this one. It works perfectly without one. That sponge-tip applicator can be pulled right off...I find it's too big and not sanitary. So I just pulled it off and use my own small brush to apply it. I use the 'Neutralizer' shade...takes care of any darkness and brightens my inner corners like a charm.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Treatment Concealer - around $8

@SilleeMee, I have used that product as well and it's a good one. It's probably my favorite drugstore. The IT works better for me though but if I couldn't get IT anymore, I'd go back to the Maybelline.

Hello, I have genetic dark circles + chronic sinus problems.

I love:

Doll 10 HydraGel Concealer & Dual-Ended Brush

I see Qvc is out of all but the darker colors, but you can order it from her .com if you need a lighter color. It covers wonderfully, does not go crinkly, or move around on your face. The dual end brush is great. I highly recommend it.

I’m in the same boat - A corrector is essential. I have a light-medium complexion and a pinky corrector works better for me than peach. Right now I’m using Bobbi Brown bisque. Once the blueness is neutralized I dab the tiniest bit of tarte shape tape on top. So far this is the best combo I’ve come up with and I’ve tried just about everything out there. Also, undereye filler helped - not with the darkness as that’s still there, but with hollows that made my undereye area look sunken. Fillers under the eye are tricky, it’s critical to go to a practitioner with expertise in this type of application. Honestly I feel the filler is the best money I’ve spent as it’s really refreshed my face in a subtle way.

@bonnie f I also use It bye-bye undereye concealer. It is a thick product but just a little dab will do you. Start light, it's buildable as they say. Try it on the back of your hand forst to see how it is, how it works, how much you may want to use.

I went to Ulta a few weeks ago, and asked for Tarte tape, the saleperson said " that would be too dry for you ( I am 57yrs old). SHe encouraged me to try Laura Geller's Real Deal concealer. It works really well and is not thick. I use that and put Elf undereye powder on top. i apply it with my fingers and then pat it with a blender, a little at a time.

Also Benefit Boing industrial strength is working for me as well.

I use the Armani red corrector (I do';t know the number). A makeup artist told me about this trick and it helps. Also, the peach colored corrector under the concealer. I use one by Kevin Aucion or the waterproof concealer by IT..

For a long time, I used concealer to cover my undereye discoloration. As I got older, I was needing to use more and more to be effective. I started using a color corrector which has worked out beautifully and now need only a small amount of concealer.
