Light, natural under-eye concealer that is forgiving if you apply it in a hurry

I'm always in a rush on work mornings, and need a light/natural coverage concealer, just to brighten up my under-eye area, rather than having to spend time getting a perfect finish with a more pigmented product. I use the heavy duty stuff in the evenings, when I've got more time.

Any ideas?

Has anyone tried Bobbi Brown tinted eye brightener?

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer is a good one, although it does have a limited range of colours (2!).

Garnier roll on is amazing... Very light but very effective..

I tried Garnier, but even the lightest shade was too orange for me.

How about a mineral powder concealer?

I swear by Benefit Lemon Aid. However, I'm a redhead and have very pale yellow toned skin

The Benefit Lemonaid looks interesting - is this something you can dab on fairly quickly, with natural results, and doesn't require too much blending?

YSL Touch Eclat, miracle worker and often applied in traffic jams and lights (honest officer)

Laura Mercier concealer, not supposed to use it under the eyes as there is one specially for that area but I do. I actually look like I've had sleep :)

Most important part to dab on is inside eye corners that makes the most difference. I spent 5 mins doing makeup in morning with 3 dcs and up most of the night I need good make up !!

Re Lemon Aid, I use it every day, some times with a full face of make-up, sometimes alone. Takes me seconds to apply with my finger and blends easily.

My pot has lasted me well over a year. I used to like YSL touché eclait but it would run out really quickly.

YSL Touch Eclat, would never use another concealer now
It is often on amazon lightening deals Wink

Thank you so much everyone, I shall be heading to the nearest branch of Boots very soon!

Lemon aid is fab. The yellow Colour hides dark shadows as it neutralises the blue of the shadow kind of like green correctors hide redness in the complexion. I love it and I have serious seek set eyes with bad shadows.

The Charlotte Tilbury one is nice, light diffusing properties like TE but with more coverage.
