Best thing to conceal dark circles?

Dark circles under the eye run in my family so I’ve always had them - no amount of sleep or healthy eating gets rid of them and I look permanently tired! I’m dark eyed AND pale skinned too which is the worst combo for helping them stand out even more Hmm
I’ve used a £3.99 Boots Collection concealer for years but I’m sure something else out there would work better.

Please advise me fellow Panda eyed people!

I have a fabulous lemon colour corrector for black circles, I'll check the make. It was from Superdrug and cheap as chips but I use it every day now.

I use a mixture of yellow and pink base colour and let it bake for a while before putting on my foundation.

I have a pallet similar to the picture.

The type and brand that’s best for you will depend on your skin type so it’s best to try a few until you find the one that works for you (eg I found one drying and got in my creases).

Sorry to derail, but aside from concealer, are there any creams/serums that brighten dark circles and actually work? There are a lot around so any experiences should be helpful

The NYX dark circle correcting concealer works great for me- I have chronic fatigue syndrome so always look exhausted & it helps with the bruised looking shadows under my eyes. It's about £6.99 I think in Boots & comes in a little pot with black lid. Lasts for ages too!

Bobbi Brown corrector is my favourite. I used up two full pots and then never bought it again as I was trying out new things. Finally picked up another one after looking through old Instagram posts and remembering how much I loved it.

Another fan of Bobbi browns corrector and concealers.

I noticed the other day that since I'd started wearing glasses all the time I can no longer see my dark circles! I only noticed because I was cleaning my teeth with no glasses on and I looked like I had two black eyes...
