Hey beauties could you suggest some reasonably priced concealers for really bad dark circles!!! like for dark brown under eye circles , I've heard salmon colours are good for these types of circles , any truth in that? x

Salmon concealers are more on the orange-y side of the color spectrum... and dark circles under your eyes tend to lean towards the purple side of the color spectrum.

Basic color theory = both of these are complimentary colors. When you mix complimentary colors, they turn into neutrals [browns, tans, skin colors] If you don't believe it, go ahead and buy two tubes of paint in any complimentary colors, and mix them together. =)

As for salmon colored concealers - there are good ones from Bobby Brown, Amazing cosmetics, and Eve Pearl.

I completely agree w/ Soma ^^!

My favorite salmon colored concealer is the Bobbi Brown Corrector! It's creamy, doesn't cake, and can even be applied with your fingers. But since it is creamy, it can move or slide, so make sure you set it w/ a translucent powder :)

@Jess: Are you sure that's the correct address? It redirects me to a painting site.

I'm a fan of the Bobbi Brown Corrector. If you go that route, IMO, you want the peach-toned ones. (I think the Bisques are more pink?)

Hi Rozeena!

I have pretty dark circles under my eyes and use concealer daily to neutralize them. I agree with what Soma says about color theory and how to correct it. I personally use TimeBalm concealer from TheBalm and it does wonders. It stays put and it has great coverage.

Go for NYX, they have an orange concealer that you can layer under one of their skin toned concealer and that does the same thing as a salmon concealer. It is an amazing concealer and I like to use the green concealer for any red spots on my face and then top it off with the skin toned concealer. It has lovely coverage and I find it non-drying enough to use on under-eyes as well. Here is the link for you

For reference light is about NW15. I am unsure i you can find nyx in the uk though.
