@hyacinth003 Hi. I use Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer. I have never had any problems with it falling in the creases. They also have have a concealer with two shades so you can custom make your shade. That goes according to skin color too like the one I use. Check it out. It does last a long time.

@Katcat1 You got me hooked on LM. Still using her primer and Tinted Moisturizer. The Secret Camouflage product is great for zit/age spots, but way too heavy for under eyes. I did try the Secret Concealer and returned to my Bobbi Brown. The LM had great coverage, but a little thick and more difficult to work with...thinned it down w/ a little facial oil.

@Shanus I am thinking that they changed the formula on the concealer because they sure did change the formula on the tinted moisturizer. i can no longer wear it as it oxidized on my skin and I have been using for 7 or 8 years. I wish Laura herself still owned the company. Blush has changed, lipsticks, the only thing I still like are the body butters, hand lotion and some fragrances. I now use No 7 tinted moisturzer and was so surprised that the shade worked out for me and the cost is a lot less.

I also use the Maybelline....I like it so much and went back and bought another one in case it was discontinued. I use it several places on my face besides under eye area....a little goes a long way...has to learn to use less for best effect...highly recommend!

Guess it’s still best to do your own research. I always remind myself the salespeople are there to sell above all else...and some simply don’t know anything at all about the products

Tarte Shape Tape concealer is the bomb with over 30 shades in yellow, pink and neutral shades. Great finish with no settling.

I have very fair skin and use the Bobbi Brown correct, conceal and set system. I have similar issues with yellow based facial products. BB correct is pink. I've used this on it's own on my really bad days and it works just fine. I did use the setting powder on top. Stayed in place all day and I didn't put any foundation over it.

I recently ordered the Doll10 concealer to try. It's a liquid and since I have dry, sensitive skin I was curious about this. It worked okay and the color seemed to be fine for me. The appicator system (looks like a lip glss brush at the top) can get messy unless you remember to be light handed squeezing the tube. I'm going to try this again now that I know to squeeze lightly on the tube. It is a liquid inside and not a heavy cream. It does go on very smooth and you only need a little. I found the color to work with my skin. This might work for you.

It’s Smashbox under eye concealer for me.

@Katcat1 ITA. It was time to replace my primer and tinted moisturizer. At counter, those products just seemed “off” in texture and shade. I’m returning to my BB Tinted Moisturizer and doing w/o primer. I really don’t need my mu to be that long lasting and don’t really have enough issues to “sparkle” to warrant an extra step. Don’t you hate it when favorite lines are bought out and dramatically change?

@Shanus Time and time again when companies are bought out sooner or later the quality goes down. Laura Mercier (whoever earns her now) did me a favor because I am saving money and loving my No 7 tinted moisturizer.

I went to Sephora Saturday where the SA color matched me and brought out several concealers based on my needs, which is pretty much under eye circles. I preferred going there rather than a specific counter at a dept. store where they are only going to recommend the brand they sell.

I ended up buying Too Faced Born this Way. It comes with the spong tip applicator that I use to dot on concealer but then I use a concealer brush to actually spread it.

So far I love this concealer. I cannot imagine how long the bottle is going to last. It is almost the size of a foundation and you need such a tiny amount. My other favorite was Nars but it dried down a little too matte for my taste. I already get slightly dry under my eyes.
