Dark circles under eyes concealing them

I've seen a few posts on various sites and just came across another on here asking about best concealers for very dark circles. Im mixed race and have extremely dark circles and will always have them. My doctor can not do anything even going under the knife i've been told will not last as they will naturally come back due to pigments and genetics (think its from distant Indian relatives who have same problem). So... I've tried so many concealers but finally found one now im in my 30s! Its Dermacolor. camouflage system creme and comes in a white pot green lid 25ml. (if you look at Google images they vary) You HAVE TO order via boots chemist as on the shelf they only sell vichy which is not as good. The BEST NEWS is you can get it FREE from your doctor!! just ask as there is a list of the products on their pc, i get two different shades (orange to correct the dark brown/purple/blue tone)& the nearest match to my skin...that is IMPORTANT as its very thick and lasts...and i get a extra large pot of fixing powder...although its water proff make up this apparently helps but you need to wait 10min so concealer is dry and sludge proff . I did have to see a lady at hospital to show how to apply and shades (Google images are not accurate colour charts) you only go once and then can re peat perscription or its about 15each. You tube has videos too. Its used mainly to cover burns, scars and tattoos etc hence having to go hospital for makeup lady. It lasts until you wash it off so past 24hrs mark! Make sure you put some on the back of your hand first to warm it up as its like soft cement haha and dab it on not slide as it will pull under eyes. You can use it anywhere on body so have look at videos...i just is it under my eyes. I really hopes this helps for those with dark pigments under eyes :-) x
