Stupid young people (concealer recs please)

My 19yo work study employee just asked me if something happened to me because 'it looks like you have bruises under your eyes'. 

I use the Maybelline Age Rewind Brightener and though it was working pretty well. 

I forgot my glasses today, which is what I think usually covers them for me.  Damn young people and their smooth pretty rested skin.

Jerk!

I've had dark circles since I was a teenager. Just like my mom. Genetics, man!

People seem to love the NARS concealer. I haven't tried it yet. The best one I've tried is the It Cosmetics concealer, which does seem to work really well.

I've tried the Maybelline one everyone loves and two by Benefit (Erase Paste and Boing), and none of those did anything -- I might as well have just smeared water on there!

Ugh, what a jerk!

I've been using Benefit Fake Up, but am going to Sephora to get a new one this afternoon since it broke off.

Nars creamy concealer.

I've heard that to really conceal dark circles you need a salmon colored concealer. You want a shade that's 1 or 2 steps darker than your skin tone to hide the darkness under your eyes. If you use something the same shade or lighter than your skin tone, it will actually emphasize the circles.

Makeup Geek has a good post about it: www.makeupgeek.com/makeup-basics/how-to-hide-dark-circles-like-a-pro/

She's actually a really sweet girl, so I don't want anyone to think she's awful. She was totally horrified when I told her that I was fine, just old. Lol.

My current favorites in order of cheapest to priciest:
Maybelline fit me concealer
Mac pro longwear concealer
Nars radiant creamy concealer

I just got this stuff this weekend at Target and it is magic.

It's a peach color corrector. I get a little out of the pot with my finger and let it warm up a bit and dab it on in the corners and underneath my eyes. I haven't had any problems with it looking cakey and have even added a little more concealer over the top with setting powder.

Someone told me to start using sweet almond oil under my eyes every night. I do think it helps. And I like benefit lemonaid for my coloring.

I use the age rewind in light. I also have the benefit eye bright pencil. I think I posted a pic a long time ago on MM where I was wearing no make-up other than the eye bright on one eye. I have pretty bad allergy bruisers and it makes a huge difference.

I'm obsessed with my nars radiant concealer. You can also try the revlon photoready stick but it has a little bit of shimmer in it.
