Help - dark circles getting ridiculous!

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a concealer that is failsafe, lasts a long time and is under £20.
Post baby I was happily using Touche Eclat but two years of a child that doesn't sleep more than three hours at a stretch means this is no longer doing anything to make me look alive.
Please help!

Clinique airbrush concealer....fantastic stuff

I put power on top as well. I?m not a big make up person but this stuff transforms me from looking half dead to quite decent. I think the trick is to try the shade out and actually put it on in the shop, the sales lady was ready to sell me the wrong shade until I insisted.

Benefit Erase Paste was recommended to me on here and it is really good stuff.

Thank you. I have been bidding on that erase paste since last night but think other mumsnetters are beating me to it!

I second Erase paste.

BendyBob · 12/02/2010 20:08

Not Erase Paste. I have that and it's ok but v thick imo.

The Garnier new one is excellent. Hang on I'll get the link to coco's thread...

Are you drinking plenty of water?? I have hardly been drinking any recently and mine are getting ridiculous too! The Garnier one didn't work on mine. Now trying to drink 3 pints a day and will see how it goes. Have heard dark circles are due to build up of toxins from liver.

Have bought both boing and erase paste from eBay do fingers crossed I might start looking half human soon! Thank you

Sorry but the water thing doesn't make the slightest difference.

I've been cursed since I was 13 and 33 years later no dietary changes (including no coffee, tea or alchohol for 3 years, and drinking gallons of water) have helped.

Erase Paste does cover them well, though.
It is thick, but somehow disappears on me, and a light dust of powder helps.
