I have really bad dark circles and I use Skinfood Salmon Concealer to cover up my circles and it works pretty well but the only problem is it fades too quickly and my circles start to show again after a few hours. I tried to put primer/ eye primer underneath first before applying the concealer but it still doesn't last very long, especially when the weather is hot and I'm sweaty. Is there any tricks that can help my concealer stay in place?

try using a primer, then set your concealer with a powder. to furthermore set.. set your whole face with some type of setting spray.

Yes, you need to set your concealer by patting it down lightly with powder. Otherwise the concealer is gonna slide off.

thanks for the advice :) but does the powder make my concealer more obvious under a camera flash light?

As already said, try a primer underneath and definitely set it with powder. I never used to set mine with powder, and now that I do I can see a world of difference! I use a fluffy brush from Real Techniques and some slightly yellow toned loose powder from NARS and my under eye circles stay at bay all day!

I use the Real Techniques Setting Brush. It's pink, fluffy, but shape to get under the eye and into corners. But any fluffy, large eyeshadow brush would work to set it.

Set with a powder and use a setting spray as well
