I've noticed my crow's feet are getting really noticeable and I e never used an eye cream before (maybe a link there?)

Also, I've got very dark under eye circle but they're now looking really crepey after I've applied concealer.

I'm 51 and, generally, have good skin.
Please can anyone recommend a nice eye cream (can go a little bit pricey due to some Christmas money) and a concealer that will not bring on the crepe......or am I just kidding myself that such a good hints exists?

I am sorry I don't think there is anything out there, I have the the same problem, not to much darkness but would like to brighten area. I watch so many youtubers my age late 50s early 60 angle of hot and flashy is good, but when buy and try what she recommends it alway turn out the same crepey look, another £10.00 or £20.00 waisted, I do use eye cream always have, so I don't know what the secret is.

I've had my best results with the following - it's complicated!

Back Labo Premium gold HA liquid
Then Clinique MS eye hydrofill concentrate
Then a dab of avocado oil to seal it in
Then w7 camera ready primer
Then revolution conceal hydrate concealer - the teeniest dab
Then Superdrug B targeted wrinkle filled dabbed on carefully so as not to disturb concealer

At lunch time I dab on a bit more moisture surge and avocado oil

Nars creamy concealer is excellent.

Wow JMAngel1 your beauty routine sounds like a part time job! I’m impressed!

Tropic concealers are great for older skin as very moisturizing. They really do help cover my dark circles without looking dry.

Can’t help you with the eye cream sorry but I’ll be watching with interest...

homeedder I hadn't heard of the Tropic range. Just had a gander and the products look fab.
Might have to have a splurge!

Will do a bit of research first.....

Bobbi brown skin serum corrector and concealers are very good. Whatever you do don't fall for trinny london BFF serum concealer hype. like I did. Its basically funny smelling moisturiser with zero coverage.

Benefit Boing hydrating concealer does not cake or wrinkle. The coverage is moderate, so you may find you don’t quite get the results you want, but it’s very natural-looking. I then use a Maybelline concealer pencil in the outer and inner corners for a little extra coverage and lift.

TornadoOfSouls · 24/01/2021 11:55

I’m mid 40s btw

Tbh every every concealer I’ve tried hasn’t covered my dark circles.

When I’ve used colour corrector I get the crepey look as the product is very paste like (nyx)
