CONCEALER FOR DARKNESS ON EYELIDS

CAN ANYONE SUGGEST A CONCEALER FOR DARK EYELIDS?  I HAVE TRIED A FEW DIFFERENT BRANDS THAT CLAIM TO CONCEAL BUT THEY EITHER DON'T LAST MORE THAN A FEW HOURS OR THEY CREEP INTO THE CREASE OF MY EYE.  THANK YOU.  PATTI.

Benefit makes an Eyelid primer but it's really a concealor because it it has color.  My 70ish bff has blue veins in her eyelids and she uses it to cover them whether she's wearing eyeshadow or not.

I have very stained eyelids. You want a concealer that covers well but that is not super emollient or tacky nor too dry.

 

I have good luck with Lancome's Effecernes Waterproof concealer. I use it on my eyelids and a little underneath.

 

Pat it on. Wait a few seconds and then pat a little bit of finishing powder or powder foundation over it.

Urban Decay Primer Potion will cover darkness and help keep shadows in place all day.

I think the problem w/ your product creasing is that it's a concealer which is creamy & usually meant for undereyes. You'd do better w/ a primer. I use Laura Mercier. It covers the darkness and veins and also helps shadow stay put.

I use trish mcevoy eye base for this. I also have very dark kids, concealers are too greasy for the eyelid even if I bake with powder. Plus baking with powder isn't kind to my 50 yr old eye lids. Watch how trish applies this when she's on HSN - I pat into the mobile lid (for coverage) and then sweep over upper lid. Her eye base also works as a light base eyeshadow color for no makeup days. My no makeup days always include concealer and eye base, otherwise I look like I've been punched.

I highly recommend Bare Minerals  5-in-1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow Broad Spectrum SPF. They act as an 1. eyeshadow w/ "12-hour long-wearing color, 2. supercharged primer, 3. powerful brightening benefits, 4. smoothes the appearance of fine lines, 5. protects with Broad Spectrum SPF 15."  I am on my 4th and 5th ones! They get really good reviews too. QVC has a kit of these right now, but I know you can buy singles at Ulta.

 

Good luck in your search!
