I promise this is my last beauty discussion at least for a couple of days. LOL
I have bad dark circles under my eyes. I get enough sleep they are genetic. There are no creams or methods out there that work for them, so I gave up that route.
I'm stuck trying to find a good concealer and I have yet to find anyone who makes a good one.
A good concealer should cover my circles totally and not cake or settle into those stupid fine lines under my eyes. Whoever said those looked fine anyway? Ughhh!
So what concealers are you happy with ladies? Have you found your holy grail of concealers or are you still looking for one as well?
And they say a good mascara is hard to find, that's easy!! :)
Thanks for reading!

I don't use a seperate concealer. I did try a few but they didn't really do much in the way of concealing stuff. I now only use pan-stick by max factor. It gives you a great coverage and if you apply it properly then you don't get a lot of build up in fine lines either. Sometimes I try a different brand of stick makeup if it's on sale. although most will do a pretty good coverup job I still think that max has the best. My motto has always been that if it's good enough for Hollywood then it's good enough for me!

6.94 at Walmart. I read a review on this on Epinions and picked it up. It is amazing. It makes my skin look flawless. I have some acne scarring and no longer need concealer for them.It does ok on the darkness but with a light concealer it works better under the eyes. It is great makeup, I can't believe I have never tried it before. It's my new favorite.

I use the base coat and imperfection corrector powder of southern magnolia minerals to cover my circles. I have those fine lines and the makeup doesnt settle in mine so you might what to try it.
But I read somewhere that a salmon colored concealer works best to neutrilize and distract from the appearance of dark circles over skin tone colored ones. I don't remember the reason why the article said that was but it sounded plausible to me.

That's all I need- fishy eyes. LOL
I will have to try that makeup and maybe a fishy colored concealer. But I can't say that I have ever seen one of those. Maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention either. Thanks my friend- hope all is going well with you and your daughter and your....oooohhhhhhhhhhhh wedding. :)
