Concealer recommendations

Hi, I need something to cover my dark circles and brighten my eyes.
I've been using stroke of light by bare minerals but it's run out and I could do with something a bit better.
Does anyone have any recomendations?

Thanks

Aldi-don't laugh it's fab

Healthy mix by Bourjois is good.

I've been tempted by stroke of light, is it not any good then?

I recommend the By Terry one from Space NK, but it's not cheap, alas.

I really like the Bobbi Brown. I swapped to it from ByTerry.

If you've got true dark circles or bluish discolouration under your eyes you really want to use a corrector first as concealer isn't thick enough or the right colour to neutralise.

For correctors try Bobby Brown or Benefit's Erase paste. They look scarily peach in the pot but they need to be to counteract the blue. You only need a very thin layer. Then conceal over the top as usual.

Or just concealer if you really aren't that bad. The new nars creamy one is a nice consistency. Thick enough to cover but doesn't get cakey and creasy (obv it will it you pile it on).

Sorry, Bobbi Brown. Blush iPhone autocorrect strikes again

The new NARS one is the bees knees. Works beautifully on dark circles and on spots. Sets matte. Doesn't budge. I was a Bobbi Brown girl for years but I've converted and I'm never going back!

Benefit Boinng. Very good.

Thanks all.
Valium the stoke of light is good but some days I can still see my dark circles under it.
