Recommendations for concealer/dark eye circles?

I have naturally dark areas under my eyes, which has gotten worse since the kids came along! I'm now 33 and starting to get creases. I've been using Urban Decay concealer but it suddenly doesn't seem to be working for me.
I put a little bit on and blend it on with my fingers then add a tiny bit of powder to set it. However, it suddenly seems very prominent and is caking quite quickly.

Any advice or recommendations? Thank you.

I have these. I've found that colour corrector works better than concealer. Get one matched. I use Bobbi brown.

You need an orange colour corrector to counteract the purpley under eye area. I like the Armani one.

Yup, Bobbi Brown corrector. You need a pinky colour for dark circles (if you have white skin that is - I’m not sure for dark skin, but I’m sure you could find out in store).

I really like Maybelline Age rewind.Just the right texture and good range of shades

Nothing works for me, not even Bobbi Brown corrector.
I'm so desperate I'm thinking of getting tear trough fillers.
I've also heard that concealer tattoos are being used for this in the US.

Im pale but dark circles and the cheap rimmel peach corrector works for me and a peach one by Ink on yesstyle. Took me a while to find the right colour as orange is too dark. Ive tried expensive eyecreams and while a good cream is needed it doesnt lighten my dark circles

Nars radiant creamy concealer is good.

I'm pale and a similar age to you op and I've found the urban decay pink colour corrector to be excellent (and I've tried a lot!)

I use Charlotte tilbury the retoucher. First one about 2 years ago and on my 4th. I’d never buy anything else now. Is about £25 but absolutely worth it imo
