Desperate

I need some suggestions on a good under eye concealer. I have tried so many different products I could open up my own beauty counter. I have terrible allergies and it causes awful dark circles under the eye's. Please tell me any items you have used that helps conceal without drying.

RMS "Un"cover concealer, it covers, is not drying and is clean beauty. It comes in many colors as well. It's not greasy either. I do love it.

@Grnthumb - since giving up sugar I don't have any actual darkness. However, I really like IT Costmetics Dark Spot Concealer for my under eye area, to even the tone with my foundation. First, I would address skincare, to make sure the area is hydrated and moisturized, then apply a little undereye primer and the concealer. You only need a small amount so the tube lasts quite a long while.

I've recommended this one many times here on this forum. I think it's a good option and it's usally less than $8. It's top-rated anywhere it's sold.

The Neutralizer is a universal shade with color-correcting pigments.

The Brightener does what it says.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer

I agree on the Maybelline above but I also love Il Makiage concealer as well.

@SilleeMee the Maybelline concealer works well however the delivery system is flawed, the concealer either never makes it to the sponge applicator or a large amount makes it to the sponge in one shot.

I hate that sponge! What I do is pull that sponge off and then use my own concealer brush. It's more sanitary that way, too.

Personally, I don't like any makeup item that has an attached sponge for application for sanitary reasons also. Sophia Vergara has a foundation with a sponge applicator and I think Kim Gravel does too and all I can think is gross when I see them.

@nycalady I have that Maybelline product, so far I have not had any issues with the delivery process.

I do use the Maybelline, so far it works the best but I haven't tried the brightener, I'll have to give that a try.
