Elf putty eyelid primer? Or something else?...

Does anyone have any recs for something to tone down the weird yellowish colour that the skin of my eyelids and above seems to have turned?! (Terrible sentence construction, soz)

I'm wearing very little make-up in lockdown - I rarely bother with mascara - and so I think it's more prominent. I already use a L'Oreal undereye concealer but I think that might be a little chalky for above. I've seen the Elf putty primers recommended so they caught my eye...mainly because they're cheap!

I own 2. I like them as a primer but can be used alone. I think they're great value. Also got a lively ELF palette (only 4 colours) but it was £3! And good quality.
If you want simple things maybe an eye crayon type thing as they're super easy to use?

Thanks lovely chips! If it's not a daft question...do they look like eyeshadow? Or are the more skin-toned/matte? Tbh I'm not really sure what I'm looking for....in the olden days if have stalked the beauty hall somewhere but now I'm just stabbing in the dark really...

I haven't tried the elf ones but sounds like you need something pink toned to brighten the area and tone down the yellow

Or what about some face powder or a tiny bit of foundation or concealer

I sometimes put a bit of bronzer over my eyelids

Alice I so actually have a pink-toned undereye concealer that works quite well for that, I should try it on my eyelid. Having said that, I've woken up this morning with a stye/chalazion 🙄 I've had a few in lockdown but thought I'd seen the back of them 😳
