Recommend a under eye concealer?

7 years ago

I need to cover the dark circles under my eyes. I use Bare Minerals powder for foundation but not anything else of their's. Is there any product you have found that doesn't make your wrinkles look worse, while lightning the dark circles? I have only tried a few drugstore products which covered the dark circles, but looked cakey and highlighted the small wrinkles. Thank you.

I use a minerals powder too, but I use L'Oreal. I like it better than the bare minerals. I get their powder to match my skin to use on my whole face but first I use another one shade lighter which I apply with a small brush to my under eye area. I also apply it to any dark spots I want to cover up.

I use a mineral coverup by Color Science. Comes in a palette of colors (can blend as needed). Works great to cover anything (even bruises) and looks natural. It's pricey but lasts forever.

I used to use Dermablend all the time, for years. I don't get dark circles w/bags under my eyes so much as that dark pigmented look from thin skin. (There is a name for that, IIRC, I just can't think of it.) But guess as my skin aged it started not working so well, got fine little creases in it. (It conceals better than anything I've tried, imo.) tina, the Bare Minerals conceals surprisingly well for a powder, and it's not loose or flaky. I'll have to check out gdust's color, yellow is a good concealer on my skin tone. The Summer Bisque is more taupe and on the cool side, but still does the trick. (Even better in winter.) Mineral powder doesn't bother me a bit (and can't stress enough how much I don't like makeup, the less, the better.) ;) And the 'white stuff' in the Cover Girl/Olay Simply Ageless can be pretty bright, but that can be avoided by using mostly the flesh tone and dabbing just a bit of white in with it. I mix it right in the pot. It gives the eyes a more 'awake' look, not racoony, if that makes sense. Clinique used to have a "Find Line" that was an 800# for discontinued products (depending on how far back it was discontinued). Check this out, they still have the # to call plus a link to a locater on their site. I've seen Clinique at Ulta also, if not discontinued ages ago maybe they would have it?

Schoolhouse it may be something else. However, I had a tiny little spot on my upper arm in my 30's and my then dermatologist said it's nothing, don't worry about it and refused to remove it. Well after two years I finally went to see another dermatologist who said the same thing, but also said if it bothers you let's take it off. She did and sent it to the lab. Well it was Basal Cell Carcinoma, an atypical presentation. She explained that Basal Cell is really not dangerous, but more like a warning sign that I need to have a skin check every year and use lots of sun protection. That is why I would never except a wait of several months before a doctor examines any change in my skin that I did not recognize. I know a seborrheic keratoses when I see one. They come in many different colors, sizes, and textures, yet are all very similar.

Bunny, I have combo skin and get occasional acne. (Yes, so unfair.) Argan oil doesn't make my skin break out. It's a non-clogging oil that has antibacterial and antifungal properties that help prevent acne, and is actually recommended for acne-prone skin in teens that still needs to be moisturized. It's been researched and shown to be very good for skin and hair. The last time I checked, it was still being sustainably harvested (although that could change as its popularity increases). Rosehip is another oil that's really good for acne-prone skin. The only benefit I find to the Hydro Boost is that it dries instantly and I can apply make-up sooner. Argan oil takes a few minutes to absorb. But once it does, it's not oily or shiny and doesn't clog my pores. A little goes a long way. I use the Shea Organics brand. You may already know all of this but I wanted to reiterate that not all oils are the same. A few years ago, my friends were walking around greased up in coconut oil and breaking out right and left, and now no longer trust any "oil".

I have had some trouble with cakiness and I found the YSL Touche Eclat didn't cake and I used it for years. However, as I got older, I found it wasn't enough coverage (haven't tried the new version). Now I use Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. I love it. Both my DDs use it as well. If the Touche Eclat wasn't so costly, I would probably add a bit of it on the inside corners of my eyes on top of the Nars. It really does give a nice brightening effect. However, I can't really justify paying for both.

I don't use foundation, I use concealer (where needed) and then a dusting of mineral powder or this time of year, sheer bronzing powder. I'm assuming your circles are dark (purplish)? You don't want to use a lighter shade as you can get a raccoon eye look. Also to avoid an aging look, or settling in lines, etc. use a CREAMY concealer (one with moisturizing/anti aging ingredients is good for undereye area) but not something cake-y. For the dark circles, a concealer with a bit of a pink is supposed to work best. I've read, but haven't tried, that putting the concealer ON TOP of your foundation works well too.

Jellytoast - I love colorscience mineral sunscreen. I'll have to look into their concealer.

Agree Dermablend, key is using the right shade and just a tiny amount.

YSL Touche Eclat is a very light concealer (more of a highlighter really) but I use it exclusively as a highlighter now that the wrinkles are here. It covers just enough for me without looking cakey.

Boing eye concealer by benefit works well for me. The right shade is really important, IME. Too light makes things worse. I find a bit darker than my foundation is better than too light.

I occasionally wear a BB cream, but not under my eyes.

I use Kiehl Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado first and then a tiny dab of Almay Concealer.

I also use Boing by Benefit. I've tried tons of others and always go back to Boing.

I like IT's Bye Bye Undereye as well. I put just a pin head dot on my hand and use a pointed brush that looks like an artist brush to apply it. It only takes a tiny bit. Sometimes I use too much and that will cause it to settle in my creases. When that happens, I tap a bit of moisturizer over it, and that fixes it.
