under eye concealer recs?

[pugz]

I've been using Bobbi Brown for a couple of years now and I'm ready for a change, I hate the three part system (corrector, concealer, then powder).  I want a one step system  Any recommendations?  I don't have really dark circles or anything, just the normal amount I'd say.

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer is great if there's a shade that matches your skin tone. I'm halfway between 2 and 3 and it's kind of annoying to have to mix them.

My other favorite right now is Maybelline Age Rewind. It's so light that you can barely feel it on your skin, but it covers amazingly well. I get the best results by using Neutralizer and then the Medium shade, and I know you only want one step. But I have pretty dark circles, so if yours aren't that bad, you might be ok with just the concealer.

Another Maybelline Age Rewind fan here. I use the illuminator and blend with my ring finger because the actual applicator is weird.

That said, you'll need to set whatever you use with power to avoid creasing

Ditto this. I don't know of any concealer that stays in place and looks natural without powder. So you'll still probably have a 2-step system.

The applicator is way too big! I have to remove a bunch of concealer with a tissue or q-tip. I deal with it because the product is so good and so cheap, but really, the applicator tip should be about half its size. Or just have it in a regular container so people can use whatever applicator they like.

I use fresh start eye cream by Ole henriksen and then use NARS concealer in a shade that has more of an orange tint.

Another maybelline age rewind fan. I also mix the illuminator shade and my shade.

where can I buy mabelline and return if it's not the right shade? That's the problem with the drugstore brands. Does Ulta do returns?

[dexteroni]

I think CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid all accept open cosmetic returns now. I don't know about Ulta.

Erase paste does unless it is July. I don't use powder at all non summer months.

Ditto Benefit erase paste. I don't use powder and I have really dark circles.

[dexteroni]

Huh. I've never used Erase Paste. Maybe I'll give it a try!

Another vote for Maybelline.

I've used Erase Paste, it looks awesome for me for the first couple of hours, but it gives me bad creasing by the end of the day.

Yes, the major drugstores all accept returns as well as Wal-Mart. Target is iffy depending on who you get. Ulta also accepts returns of opened products.

This is the most expensive makeup I use (I usually use CVS stuff) but it's really good: www.sephora.com/touche-eclat-radiant-touch-P218431?skuId=1120773



Yves St Laurent Touche eclat. It's very light so it doesn't feel caked on or crease like heavy concealers. And the light reflective properties are lovely.

I could see that, Carrots. My circles are not too dark. I find it's most effective when you don't over blend it and let it set until, then gently blend (it almost disappears into the skin).

I got the Mabelline Age Rewind at Ulta and am really liking it so far! Feels much lighter than the correcter/concealer combo from BB.
