I have very dark under eye bags and circles and I have shopped around so many concealer products. After trying over 50 brands, I have finally settled for two concealers and have to use them together as only using one doesn't cover the dark circles, and even applying both, the circles still show through. Can anyone advice on any specific brands or products and any advice or tips and techniques on how to fix my under eye circles?

I learned this method when I was a dancer, and the make up should cover everything in our faces.
Instead of using precise products dedicated to cover eyebags, we used a white pencil and a bit of greasepaint, the more creamy, the better.
You first have to own a white pencil with a really soft tip: then you draw lines exactly when your dark circles are. You then try to shade the lines using the greasepaint, not much, with a little brush. The dark circles under your eyes will look really pale compared to the rest of your face, but just shade them more and then cover with a proper foundation or a light powder.
I hope I have helped you. :)

Thanks, this sounds like a good idea, I will have to give this a try and see what happens, I have a white pencil but it is somewhere at the bottome of my drawer rolling around somewhere so I'll have to dig it out tonight and give your technique a try, thanks again :)

You're welcome!
Let me know how it works for you, make up is very individual I think. :)
