I know this topic has been discussed like many times already. But I just can't seem to cover my circles without having it look cakey or dry. I don't really have any fine lines but after powder foundation or concealer, I can see some very fine lines. Can anyone pls suggest a good undereye concealer that looks natural in that area? Also, my undereye area is not too dry...just noraml. So I'm afraid that too creamy concealer might cause milia? Thanks!  |

| I swear by christain dior skinflash 02 its the best concealer that I have ever used and would not go without it now. Its very important in knowing the right way to apply as it on a bursh and you just glide it down and across both sides of the nose. Never knew that there is a technique to the appliction until I was showed at the cosmetic counter. |

My favorite is T. LeClerc concealer. I have dark circles (hereditary) and everything else looks fake, dry & cakey. This doesn't. I also apply with a brush. Sometimes I just use this as a spot concealer without any other foundation.

Glo Minerals undereye concealer is AWESOME! It comes with 2 colors so you can blend to match.
Flawless Concealer by Perscriptives is great too but lately it has been getting really dry on my skin...I think its better for people with oily skin.
Honorable mentions...MAC Select Cover, Colorstay Revlon concealer.
I'm a sucker for concealers and foundations...I've been using my Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation as an undereye concealor and then setting it with the secret brightner and its been working awesome. |

| Cle de Peau concealer is absolutely the best that I've ever used, I started using it several years ago and have never looked back. Ochre is my color, I am a golden glow in Jane Iredale to give you a point of reference. |

I make sure I've applied a good amount of moisturizer and/or sunscreen under my eyes, then I gently use an e/s brush (which is not used for e/s also) and apply my mineral makeup there. I like that it's the same consistency and same color as the makeup on the rest of my face -- no blending required.  |

| MAC select cover is a personal favourite. Does not cake, convenient, and great color selections. I find concealer always look the best when you have the exact color match. |

| Amazing concealer is simply AMAZING. Good color (I use golden fair), lasts all day and is almost waterproof. Comes in a tube and a little goes a long way. |

It looks like everyone has their favorites. Mine are:
1. Cle de peau (ochre) for daily use. I adore the creaminess of this concealer.
2. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. VERY thick, very drying but it's heavy duty.
3. YSL Touche Eclat. Not a concealer but a subtle highlighter which is perfect sometimes for doing the opposite ... brightens so the darkness disappears. |

I second AnnieR - this stuff is AWESOME! ( I use the lightest shade - fair, I think)I mix it with a dab of Faceatelier's sheer lotion just to ease the spreadability and to impart a tiny bit of sheen around my eye area...I apply it as well to sun damage spots - the coverage is, well, amazing!...this is irreplaceable for me - I swear by it!...If you find it a bit thick (don't let that turn you off!) just heat it up a bit between your fingers - it goes on like a dream and covers completely!!!

| Chanel's Quick Cover followed by the YSL Touche Eclat specifically on any crow's feet lines works really well for me. I also like the Lancome Waterproof Effacernes concealer in a tube. When any of these are applied with a foundation or concealer brush, then they are EVEN BETTER! Can't say enough about application with a brush for even coverage, no pooling in lines, just so much of a better result. |

| I LOVE Dr Hauschka's Cover Stick. The stick is soft and smooth and applies very evenly with great coverage. Not cakey or drying at all. It actually feels very soothing when applied and I find it improves redness and blemishes when applied to those areas as well so it has double action. The new cream concealer from Dr H is great as well but I actually prefer the cover stick for under the eyes and for harder to cover blems. |

Thanks for the info, I was wondering about the Dr. H cover stick, now I feel it may be worth a purchase. |

| If you use MMU, I suggest I.D. summer bisque for the under eye. The light reflecting particles in that stuff works miracles. You have to apply and then let it sit or walk away from the mirrow, when you return later, you notice they are gone . . .poof . . .magic! |

| I like Cle de peau a lot, but I find it a bit drying. Better for blemishes, rather then under my eyes. My favourite is Jane Iredale Circle Delete. |
