eye concealer / brightener help

HI! I'm in need of a great eye awakener/concealer. My skin is on the dry side, fair w/ red undertones. My eyes are starting to just have that tired look all the time! Thinking of Bobbi Brown eye brightener or one of her concealers since she's having a 20% off sale. Are there any other recommendations? I want it to conceal, but also brighten up my eye area and help me look more awake. Thanks for your help!!

I've tried many concealers. My favorite is the Tarte Amazonian Clay concealer in the metal tube. The Josie Maran creamy concealer stick and the Bourjois 123 perfect cc eye cream (on asos.com) are very good too.

I just found LA Girl Concealer Pro and love it. I have very dark circles due to allergies and, for me, it's done the best job of concealing them. They have lots and lots and lots of shades and it's reasonably priced. Unfortunately, one can only buy it online, but I lucked out with my first order in getting the right shade. You can google it: check out their main website. I purchased mine on Amazon, but drugstore.com also sells it. I checked the reviews on all sites and it has excellent ratings from customers. I really, really am pleased with it.

My recommendation is Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer for $23. Love the coverage yet it blends easily & she offers different undertones such as pink, yellow, neutral. She also offers other products for the under the eyes. I just use her secret concealer which I love.

Hi, I am fair with pink undertones and BB were way too yellow and made me look dull or paste y for lack of a better word.

I recommend this yellow magic from Mally! I have horrible allergy eyes with darkness underneath. This erases most of it.

Touché Éclat but L'Oreal makes a dupe that you can not tell the difference. I can't remember the name right now and am unable to search for it. If nobody here chimes in I'll post it later if you're interested. Btw, you described my skin and my concern to a T so I'll be very interested in the responses. Also, I have and use the Mally product Beach-mom suggested. I like it but it is not moisturizing at all, IMO. Not my HG. Still haven't found an HG.

YSL TOUCHÉ ÉCLAT & DIOR HYDRATING CONCEALER IN THE TUBE. I use both & work them together. There is never any bad reaction from these. I have tried many thinking the newest creation might work better or to save money thinking they might work as well, BUT they do not & I go back to the tried & true good ones. Nothing can measure up to either of these for me. An Excellent moisture cream is Super Important for the face like La Mer to help take away redness & a tired look.

I use Clinque Even Better Eyes during the day. It is tinted cream that goes on so smooth. Actually all of Clinque's eye stuff is wonderful. I also like Plantscription or Strivecten at night to fight wrinkles and crinkles. IT has some good Eye Brightner I got in my last TSV kit. I would buy that again too.

Re: eye concealer / brightener help

Well, this should be interesting. Yesterday I bought several products from BB after an online consult with one of the MU Artists. If her shades are indeed yellow based, my fair Irish skin with pink undertones will throw a hissy fit....{#emotions_dlg.w00t}

I ordered her tinted eye brightener as well as the corrector and concealer. I want to try that triangle of light technique.
