Does anyone use this?

I'm after a replacement for my beloved Stila Aqua Glow Concealer, which they don't make any more (you can still find it as old stock, but not in my shade, Fair Light).

The Stila was a lovely serum-like texture and never caked or got chalky at all - it was still skin-like at the end of the day.

I'm sooo sick of crap undereye concealers!! I also used to love the L'Oreal Touche Magique but they've now reformulated that and renamed it True Match, and it's just not the same.

Any recs for light-reflecting undereye concealers for pale skin with yellow undertones very welcome!

(I've tried Anastasia, the Stila Pixel, Maybelline 30h Super Stay, Maybelline Eraser, and the No7 brush wand one. Is it time for YSL??!)

I'm pale and yellow too but I've got super deep and blue undereyes which aren't as smooth as they were. I need super coverage to hide the blue. The Shape Tape I used daily and I get a good result without much hassle.
For amazing results I use the Bobbi Brown cream concealer and corrector, but this is a lot more work to get a fab result. If I skip steps I look a mess. If you have smooth skin I'd go for this because it's easy then and you can use the liquid versions unlike me, if you've reached that point where you skin isn't as perfect as it was (and if you don't know what I mean, you're not there yet!) then you need to put in the work.
For the BB one you need to try it at a makeup counter for the colours. e.g. Peach Bisque and Bisque look pretty much the same in the pan but very very different on the skin.
I can't recommend other brands because I try other stuff but then go back to these in the end but I do have proper racoon eyes so I can't get away with less pigmented stuff. When my skin was better L'Oreal always worked for me.
If you're pale and yellow, South Korea brands cater to you and me. The quality's great and the colours too. Careful if you get from Amazon Europe though. I've bought a couple of things which I didn't think were the real deal as they were very different from Amazon Japan. The prices are low enough to be able to order more stuff without breaking the bank.

I forgot the pens!! Sorry, YSL, Givenchy and Clinique do these pens that are great are brightening up the eyes. I wore them all and would get whatever was available. They were great if you don't need high coverage but I haven't tried them in a while tbh so don't know whether they've changed much.

Thank you @Oceanus! I use a couple of Korean and Japanese brands for skincare but haven't really investigated their make-up, that's a good call.

I currently use Pixi colour corrector underneath my concealer so neutralising the dark circles isn't so much of an issue - it's more that I like something light-reflecting on top I think.

The BB one sounds a bit like the Laura Mercier SC concealer, which I use for blemishes - I LOVE that stuff 😍

Glad I could help!
You can also just try the BB concealer and skip the corrector at a counter (they're bought seperately). That's the one for brightening up the area and evening it out with the rest of the face. I should also mention it lasts forever. It's not cheap but it does last as it's very pigmented so you only need a little bit. Tip1: stick it between the boobs to warm up a bit, before you start your skincare. Tip2: avoid getting it from the pan with your fingers as you pick up too much. You need a brush, then you tap with the fingers.
K an J skincare is amazing and they're always ahead of the game. They did the oil makeup remover, CICA and makeup cushions way before the west! Their makeup ranges are usually pretty limited in terms of colour, they cater mostly to the pale which is basically us, so you'll definitely find something for you.
The BB stuff is great for dark circles but a waste of money for blemishes imho. I use The Saem Cover Perfection tip concealer (that's a Korean brand) for the face. I got it for the eyes but it was the wrong colour and it works fab on blemishes, just won't budge.
