Heavy duty concealer recommendations please!

I've been struggling with the most awful black circles and shadows under my eyes for as long as I can remember.. I've tried all sorts of concealers but nothing really makes much difference, even the pricer higher-end brands.
I need something that doesn't look cakey and is long-lasting.. I work long shifts with very few breaks so can't re-touch make up at work.
I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and want to look nice in the photos! Any recommendations please?

Maybelline Eraser number 5 doesn’t cake, it’s quite light though.
I used to use Benefit Boing 02 and it worked really well…I might try it again myself.
I like Bobbi Brown Light Bisque too- but if you have slightly dry skin or fine lines it can really cake/settle in creases.

I then use Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation on top.

Rimmel Hide the Blemish concealer is actually quite good and it’s less than £10

I have hereditary dark circles and I use Estée Lauder double wear maximum cover foundation under my eyes. I get a slightly lighter shade than my normal foundation.

It's quite expensive but as I only use under my eyes it lasts for ages.

NARS soft matte complete concealer is also good.

I would try colour corrector under concealer

Will be following as I have the same dark circles and melasma on my nose.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Radiant Concealer.

I used to use YSL touché eclat but found it didn’t work as well as it used to on dark circles and had got up in price for a smaller size. Found this one and really like it, thicker but not clumpy, double wear so stays on but not as heavy (or expensive) as the foundation, and does a fab job on dark eyes and other blemishes (spot redness etc).
