I'm blonde and fair and looking for something to hide the darkish circles under my eyes - something very light, I guess.  HELP, ladies... please!

I just bought LA Girl Pro Conceal in Peach. It does act as a color corrector. Obviously I don't know your coloring but I think Peach works for a lot of people unless you have dark skin. I rarely wear makeup anymore but it's really nice. I also bough Elf Camo Concealer. Google these products. They compare them to high end products and they fare very well. That's why I got them. I got tired of spending a lot of money on products I rarely use.

I've been using Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer for a couple of months now.  I'm liking it.  It comes in many different shades and also a neutralizer and brightener.  Easy on the wallet too!

Another vote here for that Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer. It's top rated. Goes on like a full-coverage foundation and stays put all day. It doesn't settle but if you feel the need you can still apply a setting powder on top and that will help if you have settling issues. When I first bought it they only had 5 shades. Look how many they have now!

Hi @spent2much I am always on the hunt for a "Holy Grail" concealer since Mally's cream one went away about 7 years ago. I've always had dark circles since childhood.

My latest recommends, after trying about 4 lately:

I was in Sephora and sales rep there recommended Nars, which I bought, $30.00, "Radiant Creamy" in "Creme Brulee'"...and I like it! The color match for me was great. I'm gold blonde hair, green eyes, medium skintone...sometimes a bit warm, some pink in my tone too...so maybe that's a true medium. I have dry to combination skin. The Nars is a tad dry but I still like the coverage, staying power and color match.

Before that I had gotten a Loreal Illuminator (I think that's the name) at CVS, when I went back to replace 3 mos. later, they no longer carry it, but I saw it online. That was in #2. It was lightweight, decent coverage, not quite as opaque as the Nars. It ran about $14.00 Loreal has other concealors, this is the one in the thin, square tube, not the chunky round one.

I follow an influencer "Hot and Flashy" on YouTube...her "Holy Grail" is Lancome Tient Idole, in Neutral Bisque (there are several bisques, one N (neutral) seems deeper/warmer, the other has more neutral/pink undertones.) You can look her up on Youtube, I forget what shade she used, but she did an all day test of it, in detail, and the link with her exact shade used is there.) She's made several concealer videos from previous years, this is the most recent from months ago. It looked great on her and didn't crackle or crease as even the Nars does a little bit on me. I am going to try that one too at some point. Also about $30.

But I'd recommend any of the above, though I'm liking the Nars now, and am going to definitely try Tient Idole.

I hope that helps!! It's SO trial and error finding a good concealer, so many aspects that have to be right, application, color match, staying power, dryness etc. I got a Maybelline when I didn't find the Loreal at CVS anymore...boy was that a bad color on me...going to take it back, now that I found out CVS will take back opened makeup that doesn't work out.

ANOTHER QUESTION, ladies... do you use concealer before or after powder foundation?

[Desertdi]

Have you tried an eye cream with the ingredient Haloxyl™?    It helps to  actually rid the dark circles.   Google it.
