Yes, I use the Hy-Glam concealer.  It doesn't noticeably settle in fine lines but I also take an extra step to help it not and I've done this with many concealers.  After it's dry, I use my finger or a sponge to gently wipe out the excess.  If you set your undereyes with concealer in the fine lines, well, they're set.  After removing the excess concealer, then I will set them with powder but I've been not using powder that low under my eyes anymore.  Just right below the lash line so my liner stays put.

This one contains the ingredient I am allergic to (Titanium dioxide). This ingredient gives cosmetics the ability to cover dark spots well, among many other functions. 
'When makeup doesn't contain it, the product usually doesn't perform as well.

However, in my case, I believe this ingredient caused my lichen autoimmune rash and loss of brow hair as well as scalp hair.

'I still reach for my makeup products that contain this ingredient but on a rarer basis.

Hi @monicakm .. the Kaja Don't Settle concealer didn't settle into my fine lines at all.   I can't use powder under my eyes because it is too drying.   If I don't like the new version of the Kaja concealer I'll try the Hy-Glam concealer and remove the excess once it dries.   But for now I have enough of the Kaja concealer to last for a while.

Hi @moonandthestars 

I was curious about your issue and took a look at it while I was researching my own dark circle issues.  The websites states grey happens when the color being used is too light.  Some websites recommend a peach or orange corrector for grey situations.  correctors do come in these colors.  But rather than use 2 products, if it was me I would just try to select a better color, which is probably darker, warmer, peachier.  The bobbi brown webpage for the Bobbi Brown Skin Corrector Stick has a large selection of skin tones and correctors and looked to me like a good place to look for a better match. Match one's skin color to a model's and get that corrector.  They are about $33. I wouldn't think one would need a concealer after the nice corrector, which the bobbi brown webpage does say to apply, and they also recommend that we apply lots.  I guess that is an idea if they want people to buy lots of products and one wants to wear a lot of make-up.  

I was looking at some you tubes about my own eye issues (natural discoloration), and the you tubers have a lot of recommendations about application.  They definitely recommend to apply a lot less concealer than I do.  Using a really fine brush to apply just where the darkness is and blending away with a brush or sponge.

Something that occurred to me, but I did not read online is whether whatever moisturizer you are using is not getting along with your concealer and resulting in grey.  I found my own eye make-up doesn't always get along with eye creams, and I have heard make-up artists recommend to forego eye creams with eye make-up.  But that doesn't always work for me because my skin is dry.

Mally and Josie are both on QVC today.  They both have specials on their concealers.  A230656 Josie Maran Argan Infused Creamy Chubby Concealer, now on sale for $15 is my favorite concealer.  It is a stick with only 4 shades.  It always sells out  early when it is on sale, so if you want it, move fast.

Best of luck!
