Best under-eye concealers. Is YSL Touche Eclat still considered number one?

[notthesterotype]

Hi,

So I was using the YSL one for a few years, but it runs out quite quickly and whereas I could afford another one, I'm wondering if I'd just be buying it out of habit. Also, I'm a fan of Lisa Eldridge and tend to take her word as beauty gospel and I heard that she's really not a fan of Touche Eclat, which got me wondering.

So has anyone got any recommendations? I'm not on a strict budget, but I certainly wouldn't want to go higher than £25.

Oh, also, does anyone use a tiny amount of their foundation under their eyes as concealer? I've been doing this whilst I decide which concealer to buy and so far, it actually looks ok. I'm sure this is terrible in the long term, but it's better than having dark circles.

TIA

Grrr just noticed my nickname was spelt incorrectly. Sorted now.

Anyone?

Touche éclat is a highlighter rather than a concealer so if you need to cover dark circles this isn't the product for you.

I have tried lots of expensive concealers but always return to Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. It's cheap but amazing. Covers my dark circles better than anything else.

The Collection one is excellent for the price but for me the Clarins Instant Concealer is by far the best. Doesn't feel heavy or claggy but has good coverage for dark circles and doesn't settle into fine lines.

Sadly Clarins doesn't go pale enough for me.

squoosh, Collection? Really? I always assume the cheap ones are going to dry out your skin. Do you have any lines under your eyes? I think I'm just starting to get fine lines and if I wear the wrong kind, all it does is emphasise my lines and makes me look worse than I did before! What are the colours like? I'm pale btw. Thanks.

Is the Collection one better than the BD (tesco) one? I used to use that, but I can't really remember if it was any good. I just remember buying it because at the time, I couldn't afford Touche Eclat.

I used to use the BD one too. Such a shame you can't get it any more

I bought the Collection one after squoosh recommended it on another thread and it is really good.

Have heard rave reviews about the Collection concealer too.

I get along very well with Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer, think it costs about 6. It doesn't dry out my very dry skin, gives decent coverage and lasts well through the day

If you want to cover blue then Lily Lolo peeps is amazing, use a tiny bit and don't be put off by the colour which is bright yellow!

I use the Collection one but I always put foundation under my eyes on top, aren't you meant to?

Liz Earle highlighter pen is nice
Also like Clarins instant concealer for undereyes and reckon colourstay
All are moist and I use with an illuminator

Bobbi Brown correctors are my favourite for under the eye. The touché eclait is a highlighter.

The collection one is good but it slides right off my oily under eyes! Worth a try though, it's very affordable.

I use a Bobbi Brown Corrector and Laura Mercier Secret Camoflague. I have pretty impressive dark circles (sadly a family trait and if one more person tells me I 'look tired'...). Those two in combination work a treat.

I'm never sure of the concealer purpose under eyes. my Avon one seems to emphasise shadows or are you meant to use lighter one to minimise shadows.

i am like a born again christian about he clarins one in a tube

AMAZING

Collection one for me too. Works on my olive skin tone.

I've recently been using Revlon Photoready under my eyes. I put it under foundation and blend really well. I suddenly look really awake and much younger. It only costs £6, I'm a convert.

Givenchy Mr Light for me. Love it.

Clairns for me too. Put a bit of eye cream on before putting on. Or get tear troughs done - now that did make a difference!

Hillingdon, can you enlighten me on what having your 'tear troughs done' means!

The By Terry one is phenomenal. Great coverage, looks natural and big range of shades. About £30 a tube but lasts a very very long time.

Jumping in to also give my backing to Bobbi Brown Corrector and Concealer. I have terrible dark circles and that, under my usual foundation makes them completely invisible.
