Hello people, I would be most grateful for any advice you can give me.
I have the worst dark circles under my eyes, I look like death, I am not exaggerating...I have always had this drug addict look.. My eyes look really sunken, I have tried so many undereye concealers...I use Bobbi Browns concealer kit, with the yellow powder, which hides them really well....but it looks soooo cakey and dry and wrinkley...I have very fine lines around my eyes and this stuff just makes them look 10 times worse, ...I use MD Formulations Vit A Plus Anti Aging Eye Complex on my panda eyes at night, and I use Liz earls wrinkley eye repair cream in the morning, yet my concealer still looks obvious, cakey and dry, I have tried the MAC primer also, but it still looks bad,...Ive tried YSL touche eclat..i found it crap...Ive tried Benefit Erase paste, it wasnt strong enough and looked dry, .... Can anybody recommend something???.....My lines are very very fine, but with concealer,(which I need)...I look double my age..im only 27, what am I doing wrong????

It is unsafe to try all the new products that are coming out there especially when you are going to apply in on your eyes. The eyes are delicate. In order for you to definitely end up with the right under eye cream or treatment generally, visit your doctor and seek his / her guidance. Do not attempt to do a number of self-medication. It is dangerous. Read Those Eye Cream Reviews

Hi can anyone tell me what the tesco black ones is called please?

OK, what might help is something slightly colour correcting followed by a creamy highly pigmented concealer. So...my circles have a blueish tinge to them (niceGrin) like a bruise and I use a yellow corrector/concealer first (not too much). I currently have an Avene one, but I think no 7 do one too. Then something like the amazing concealer by amazing cosmetics. Marks and Spencer sell it and big ones have it in stock so you can test...

Nars creamy concealer. It is amazing.

The only product I've ever found that does a half-decent job, is Max Factor Colour Corrector Stick in Yellow. I had to order it off Amazon, as our local Boots never seemed to stock it.

I expected to use Max Factor to tone down my dark circles, and then use my concealer on top, but if I apply Max Factor with a brush, then I don't need anything else - it just seems to make the dark shadows fade away, rather than make them look 'covered up.' The yellow does remarkable things for dark circles.

Rimmel match perfection works for me.
