They are awful at the moment, every time I wear my contact lenses people tell me I look so tired so am tied to my glasses at the moment.

Any recommendations (I am skiving this afternoon - am between jobs so am giving myself and afternoon off!)

Benefit's Erase paste is really good, and I also really like that cheapy Rimmel one. I too have terrible dark circles.

Lemonaid is great too (Benefit)

Clinique - Airbrush Concealer (pen) - currently using.
No.7 Instant Radiance Concealer Pen (light reflecting) depending on your skin tone, avoid the pink as I found it make it worse, but the ivory for my skin was perfect, I think I might even prefer this to the Clinique one.

I also use the No.7 Skin Calming make-up base (green stuff, takes out red tones, need a tiny tiny bit all over including under eyes) followed by whatever concealer I am using, as I said, currently Clinique.

Short of using actual paint, this works a treat.

thank you everyone, I will have a look at them. To be honest, not sure I care how pricey it is if it makes me look my age rather than 110!

Benefit Boing, lemonaid is for the upper eyelid, I recomend just going to the benefit counter and getting them to sort you out.

Remember you are not obliged to buy if you don't like the stuff, but they will give you much better advice than anyone here as they can actually see you.

OK, good advice. I sort of feel a bit of an expensive shopping trip coming on

Another vote for no 7 concealer (in a pen/brush gizmo) FAB.

I've used the no 7 one. I have deep dark crevasses under my eyes and whilst they don't get rid entirely they do make them better.

YSL Touche eclat

Orm - it defintely has to do with the light, and I think when you look at yourself in the mirror it does not always do it justice immediately, it takes about 1 hour for it to settle to your own skin tone - I have seen photos of me wearing this concealer and compared to others, my skin looks posivitely radiant and bag free!

I use the Christian Dior version of touche eclat. It has more skin shades and is more moisturising (touch eclat always dries my skin out).
