I have horrible horrible dark circles. They're part genetic/part stress related, so I haven't found anything that helps them. Which would be fine if I could cover them. Alas... I don't even want to know how much money I've spent on concealers that don't work. The latest was the maybelline fit me, which really does cover well but it ends up creasing and settling and basically makes me look worse than if I wore no concealer at all. Does anyone have a recommendation on a FULL coverage concealer that actually lasts?

Use a yellow toned concealer if you have purple dark circles then apply your regular skintone foundation & concealer

If you have blue dark circles use a peach/salmon toned concealer then your skintone foundation & concealer

Look at the color wheel yellow is across from purple therefore you use a yellow toned concealer.
peach/salmon is across from blue therefore you use that color.

You can look it up in the search bar and see what other answers all the other posts about this exact same subject got but Les pretty much has it covered.

I've been following those rules for years, it's just the actual products I'm struggling with. Lately I've been using the peach corrector by pixi under my concealer. The color is perfect but it's sooo cakey, even when I apply the tiniest amount it ends up creasing.

I just got a color correcting palette by wet n wild for $4.99 and I use the yellow part for mine, it's like a mix between yellow and orange and it covers them up great and lasts all day. It's a cream consistency.

Bobbi brown is a lot of people's holy grail color corrector, but its pricey. I use that and then NARS creamy concealer on top. Covers my (very dark, very terrible) dark circles entirely

I've been using the pixi one too and for me it works better than Bobbi Brown and it cosmetics. Sadly none of them have completely hidden mine either but they are really really bad:( I use Nars concealer over my corrector as well.

How do you apply your concealer? Next time try applying it in a triangle formation and blending up and outwards. Kandee Johhnson has a great video on how to apply concealer correctly since its a mistake many of us make :)

If your looking for products, sometimes a heavier foundation thats a shade lighter works!

I think It cosmetics bye bye under eye, is really nice. definitely set it with powder so it doesn't crease.

Morgan, that's what I already do :( they're THAT bad. Maybe I'll just start painting them an entirely different color. Neon green perhaps. Could be a new trend! :/

Well I can't find one I'm 100% happy with, but I like the Dermablend concealer the best so far. It's really good coverage but doesn't look cakey.

Are you using an eye cream Kailey? If not that will assist with product not creasing. Another thing...if you are heavy-handed with application (applying too much) it will crease and become cakey as well.
