Hi all! I'm looking for a concealer specifically for dark under eye circles that looks natural and fine if i wear it by itself(without any other makeup on my face). I need something not so creamy and heavy and not oily so that i won't have milia seeds under my eye. I also don't need much coverage.
Any recommendations? :)

hey, i saw there's a roller bb cream from garnier for dark eye circles. and i have tested on the back of hand before, i think the quality is not bad. it is not very creamy and relatively watery..so it should slide smoothly at the undereye area. there are also two shades, one light and one natural, u can go check it out and see which one is more suitable! let us know if its gd!:)

i heard from a tv programme that it's better to use a concealer which is of a slightly darker shade than too bright a shade.
i was using yellow balm from benefit. thought it's good for yellow asian skin.

oh.. i also heard something like a greenish tone concealer is quite good as when it's blended with the dark circles, it would balance out the dark shade.
yellow balm concealer??

Greenish tone concealer are used for blemishes as it can cancel out the redness. For dark under eye circles, it would be best to use a salmon peachy concealer. I think it's also not very true that you should use a shade that is too dark. You can try using a highlighter like the YSL Touche Eclat on your dark circles.Bobbi brown creamy concealer is also really great!!(:

I'm currently using Mac's studio finish concealer SPF 35. It's of the same shade of loose powder I'm using (from Mac). For natural coverage daily, I will not suggest highlighter for the entire darkcircles/eyebags as they are quite obvious.
Only use them during photoshoot or at night.
Concealers work best when applied and blended with brush. I only came to know this few months back. It really works as excess products stays on the brush and you'll have perfect eyes.

I thought it would be better to apply the concealer on your under eye and use your ring finger to blend it in.

Suntan cream on top of moisturizer; top with face powder. This process protects your skin, as it lightens gradually the dark areas. Been doing this everyday for 1 month and it gets lighter and better. Better than concealing.
