Eye concealer

So, my eyelids and under my eyes are dark red/brown and stand out compared to the rest of my face. I feel like I’ve tried every possible combination of primer with concealer or just concealer on its own.
Has anyone managed to crack this without the product sitting in the pores or lines around the eyes? Or is it hopeless?
TIA

AYU concealer is fantastic and I've also just discovered Revolution Skin Silk eye brightener. I'm dithering about Charlotte Tilbury Magic Vanish but it's a bit spendy.

I've been using the Gatineau Miracle eye contour cream, pricey though, got it in the black Friday deals, it's good, but not as amazing as the Instagram reels suggest, but beat I have tried so far. The other good one is Fenti Concealer, only need a tiny bit so makes it worth it cost wise as think it will last a long while.

thanks for your replies. Do you use these concealers on their own or with a primer underneath?

I moisturise and use a separate moisturising eye cream, wait for it to absorb and then I use the concealer, no idea if that's right, I'm mostly trying to hide lack of sleep

I don't use primer at all.

Maybe the primers where I’ve been going wrong. 🤔I don’t know why I thought I needed primer

Have you tried Eborian? It’s great! I use the red correct religiously under the tiniest bit of concealer.

Charlotte Tilbury.

@ChangingSocksNo! I will do though. Thank you! And I’ll try Charlotte Tilbury too 😊
