So recently is the only time this grey under eye has happened.  Before if I chose a wrong color it would be pretty straightforward - too light, too dark too orange too yellow.  But this is weird.  I did google based on @Janey2  's  suggestion, and it's definitely something other people are experiencing. 

 

@Mindy D when I last tried the nars creamy concealer a year or so ago it was a fairly ok color for me (not grey!), but my skin had a reaction, unfortunately.  So, I hesitate to try it again.

 

I've given this situation alot of thought today.    My discontinued concealer is a stick concealer.  It doesn't offer a million shades.  Fair, light, light/medium, medium, medium dark, probably dark or tan.  Anyway - that's it.  Maybe that's what I need to find for now.  A concealer that doesn't come with so many shades - one that is meant for a variety of skin tones within a range.  Does that sound like a good idea?  Also I do like a stick, but it doesn't have to be.  Any ideas for what brands might be good to browse?

@moonandthestars I would go with whatever cancels out grey. Usually, you go with the opposite color on a color wheel to cancel another color but grey isn't really a color, so it's hard to say.

Another stand-by favorite of mine is the stick concealer by Cle de peau.

Not a lot of shades but wouldn't be without this one.

@LTT1 Oh, that's a very interesting suggestion.  That brand's concealer has a great reputation.  That whole brand has a great reputation.   Let me look online and see what I find.

Kaja Don't Settle

 

This was my favorite concealer too till I tried the ND.  I think I'll do a side by side test because they're both great concealers.  I didn't know Kaja reformulated.  That rarely works out for consumers Smiley Sad  It's probably done by the company to save money and increase their bottom line.

Re: Concealer question / help

 I would love to try new products like you ladies talk about but, it must cost a fortune to buy and then not like and buy something else....or do you use what you purchased even tho you don't love it?

No, I would never use a makeup or skin care product that I didn't like just to use it up. I would return it. I like and keep over 90% of what I buy.

Re: Concealer question / help

@monicakm ....   I can't say how the reformulated Kaja Concealer is because I haven't tried it yet.  Right now I have about 4 tubes of the original.  But if the reformulated one  doesn't work out I may try the Natasha Denona. Do you use the Hy-Glam Concealer?   Does it settle into fine lines?
