Dark circle fixes please

Hi all,

I'm after dark circle recommendations please!
I know nothing will magic them away as they've been with me since my teenage years. But now at 30, and with a toddler that doesn't sleep, I'm looking for some cream or concealer or something that helps to make me feel a little less depressed looking in the mirror!

While we're at it- whats your favourite foundation for a glowy natural looking, but long lasting and does actually have cover? Does such a thing exist?!

I have lifelong dark circles too - think probably linked to my low iron and not drinking enough water! If you’re the same, iron supplements and more water may help.

Meanwhile, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is the best I’ve found (and I’ve tried a lot).

Their Sheer Glow and Light Reflecting foundations are worth a look too although unfortunately none of the shades are right for me. I use Laura Mercier foundation, like it but it’s not quite as glowy as I’d like.

PS the Laura Mercier does last really well though

You need a colour corrector to hide the circles and then a concealer over the top to brighten. Doesn't work so well if you e got a lot of under eye wrinkles as it can make these obvious. Go for something very creamy

I like Bobbi Brown colour corrector sticks and Tarte creamy concealer

Brightening powder (has a pinky colour to it) over the top to set is also useful. Huda or Lottie London do good ones
