Concealer I can get in Boots tomorrow that will cover my dark circles

I have my Christmas party tomorrow & was trying out some make up tonight. I have olive skin which can look sallow & quite dark undereye area which I’ve always had but have been a bit stressed lately so think they look even worse as I’m tired. I use a clarins concealer but tonight I thought its not helping, the colour isn’t right & its making the dark areas look grey😩
I can get to a Boots tomorrow before party but have no idea what brand/product might actually help. Can anyone recommend anything please if you have similar colouring?

The no 7 light reflecting one. It’s very good.

Maybelline eraser eye concealer is amazing. I ditched my NARS concealer and went back to this. I have bad circles around my eyes. I have light olive skin and use 02 nude. And its amazing at covering other blemishes on the face! For hygiene purposes I do take the little sponge off though.

Huda beauty overachiever concealer.

Nars is good too but runs out quickly.

Also grey means the shade is too light for you, if you have time swatch a few of the maybelline (honestly amazing). And they have a nice undertone to cancel out the dark circles, also use powder to set concealer. Some people don't use powder but if you are using concealer to conceal dark circles, you'll end up using an amount enough to need the powder to set it. Otherwise it'll just crease away. Sorry long post 😄

Second the Maybelline, it's great stuff and a decent price.

Bobbi Brown corrector (used under concealer) is my HG under eye product. If you can, get an assistant to help you choose the right shade.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will see if I can find the maybelline

IT- Bye Bye Eye Concealer. Boots should sell it

Absolutely brilliant stuff. Doesn't dry out either. You only need a tiny bit as it's quite thick, so lasts ages

Concealer

I have bad circles and the only concealer that had truly helped is two faced. I’ve tried maybelline, Bobbi brown, nars, so many others.

it’s also about the primer & powder you use and how you seal the concealer.

I use smashbox primer and press seal the Laura mercier powder then brush off

I have the buy buy under eye from it cosmetics, I've tried 3 shades of the maybelline, lots of others they all crease on me, doesn't matter how little I use, I had to give up on concealer, was thinking of trying a lighter colour foundation to use instead, but not wanting to waste more money.
