Tarte shape tape vs IT bye bye dark spots (I currently use) I see that QVC is having some specials on Tarte 

 

or something else? I use concealer in inner corners of eyes to cover/lighten dark areas. Also to cover discoloration like age spots. Thanks for input

Of the two you named, @smoochy, I much prefer the IT Bye Bye Dark Spots.  I never liked Shape Tape.  I mostly use the BBDS dotted under the eye for a little brightening, but I've also used it for some age spots. I also have the RMS concealer that goes with my RMS foundation.  

Skincare wise, there are products that address dark spots too.  Sometimes it's trial and error, if they are effective or not.

@JeanLouiseFinch  @smoochy   I've tried both and can't use either. Even with an emollient eye cream, I find they are too thick for me and difficult to apply.

I agree with @Shanus , those are too thick and yellow. 

I like Mac prep n prime...but only a teeny dot.

I saw one with pink undertones on Sephora, think it's called Kosa...I may have the name wrong??  But it looked nice.  I'm ALWAYS hunting for undereye concealer or brightener that doesn't crease without doing a thousand pats and steps 🤨

I like shape tape---am wondering if any of you use a damp sponge to tap it in? It is thick but using a sponge works so well for me. I use the egg shaped one--well a dupe ---and I really like the results.

@monicakm   I'm loving the Dior concealer in 1N that matches my stick foundation. Rarely worn though since I got hooked on the Merit Minimalist Perfecting Sticks...even better than WE and so much more economical. I can also use it as concealer since it's so creamy. NARS Radient Concealer is a winner, too.

I have found Shape Tape to be too thick for me.  I love It Bye Bye Dark Spots and I actually use it all over,  I just bought the Doll 10 Skin Genius Concealer with Reishi Mushtoom, waiting for delivery.  Looks like It blends out nice.  We will see.  I have a tough time under the eyes...

@Shanus @monicakm ...do you use those under your eyes??   How's the creasing?...I'd like to look into them...and maybe there's a shade with a bit of pink .

The only Shape Tape I can use is the new creamy version. Natasha Denona is amazing as well as ELF Hydrating Camo concealer, I gave up on many others!

My favorite concealer is Natasha Denona. Its not cheap, but it lasts quite a while. I only use for under my eyes,  not all over, so I am really getting my money's worth. It is not thcik but it is not thin, and it covers really well, and does not settle......Love it!
