Best products for dark circles

I use corrector and concealer but it still doesn't cover my dark circles properly and I also feel now I'm in my early 40s that lots of concealer doesn't look good.

I'm looking for a concealer that concealer and brightens without looking cakey or too fine.

Something like touche eclat that actually works would be great but I do want actual coverage.

Look at Huda Beauty. It is mid-high end but it’s amazing and has something for every skin tone. It’s not cakey at all and if it is, it just means you’re applying too much.
The ‘Faux Filter’ concealer and ‘Easy Bake’ powder specifically.

The Boots number 7 illuminating one is much better than touch eclat in my opinion. Agree with PP that you need a light hand around the eyes to prevent caking and lines.

Beauty Pie illuminating one is good, I like it as I don’t wear foundation any more just Jones Road balm etc so it looks quite natural in that combo for a more glow rather than covered look.

@LeatherJacketWedding I quite like the Huda under eye corrector but prefer the colour of the Nars on me. The concealer is okay.

@Handmethegunandaskmeagain I'll have a look at it. I remember it being shimmery but haven't looked at it for years if it's the one I'm thinking.

@jeaux90 I've been wondering about both of those. Do either give any actual coverage?

@Eldermileniummam the beauty pie one does. Jones Road no. I use mineral foundation now from English mineral makeup gave up on liquid foundation late 40s. They have an amazing little product for the under eye which is fab. Jones road coloured balms are lovely for a bit of all over colour. Just on cheeks or when you want a no make up day (ish)

Following because absolutely nothing covers my dark circles.

Nothing covers mine either but if it’s any consolation, my eyesight has got so bad I need to wear glasses permanently and they totally cover my huge eye bags. It’s an unexpected bonus that came with age.

Thanks I'll look at those. I don't wear liquid foundation any more either. I do like the Laura Geller powder ones especially double take for coverage. My under eye circles are a full time job 😂

Same @rainbowstardrops

@BluePine I've enjoyed being able to wear sunglasses and not wear eye make up as my minimum is under eye corrector with concealer and mascara.
