Concealing those dark circles

Nov 19, 2009 21:32

I was using Revlon's Colorstay concealer for my dark circles, but it felt too drying (even with eye cream) and tight on my skin. After using eye makeup remover & washing my face, there would still be traces of the makeup, so I came to you ladies for help! I have dark circles due to genetics & my olive skin tone. Plus, you can see my veins. I need a ( Read more... )

I use Erase Paste and I love it. For me, it doesn't really FULLY erase my dark circles, but mine are pretty bad. When I put it on, smooth/blend it out, and put powder over it, it's fine, though. And I've never experienced any caking/settling with it. So I say it's worth the money.

Oh, and the tiniest bit goes a long way, so it's gonna last me forever!

Erase Paste has a pink tone so I don't think that will work for your skin. I prefer Boi-ing but it can be heavy...

I personally just like mineral makeup concealer, it doesn't look heavy like creams or liquids.

I've used Dior SkinFlash as a brightener, not necessarily as a concealer. It makes a difference, plus I've used Benefit's Erase Paste with it, as well as BareMinerals' Well-Rested.

My dark circle concealer is the `Make Up For Ever` line concealer from Sephora. It`s the first concealer I`ve used that covers them well- BUT I also combined it with moisturizer specifically for dark circles. They`re slowly but surely disappearing (as much as they can) using the moisturizer, let alone the concealer. :)

out of curiousity, what kind of moisturizer do you use?

Another one from Sephora, about $47 CAD (darn the US and their cheaper prices, hehe), but you need so little of it for each application and it works wonders, not going to lie, heh. The brand is "Korres" and it's their one specifically for dark eye circles, in a small white tube.

I'll do you one better and grab a link: Here

I used to just use my face moisturizer on everything, but the skin on your face vs. your eyes is so different that it definitely helps to use specialized products. This tube will probably last half a year, too, since you just need pinhead sized dots of it.
