Concealer recommendations?

rainbow kirby

I'm looking for a really good concealer. I'm mostly looking for it to brighten up my eyes, I've got fairly obvious dark shadows under my eyes and I'd like to hide that. I rarely ever get spots these days, thankfully, so hiding blemishes is not a priority.

The complicating factor is that I am *extremely* pale. My foundation is Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in Porcelain and the concealer I had before is a bit too dark when used with that foundation so I just stopped bothering with it.

Went into BT this evening and had a look at a few - Benefit don't do one pale enough for me, I thought the Bobbi Brown one I looked at was ok (Creamy Concealer Kit in Porcelain) but too expensive at €33 and the sales assistant was a bit snotty so didn't want to buy it there, and also tried MAC Mineralize in NW15 - seemed nice in the shop and a good colour match, but by the time I got home less than an hour later quite a lot of it had sunk into a line under my eyes - not ideal at all!

Just wondering if any of ye had some recommendations for me

laura. mercier secret camouflage is brilliant you can blend the light and dark to create your own shade. it might be a bit heavy for under eyes tho ...estee lauder do a really concealed too. not too sure of the name

I've just bought Mac Pro Long Wear concealer. Had such bags at work today I needed a fix! Very happy with how it's stayed put, and hasn't sunk into any lines. I was in work until 9pm and all! I'm pale as well, but the girl recommended NW20 over NC15 (which I use in their foundation). Happy with the colour.

I hate Bobbi Brown creamy concealer but I love their Corrector. I have horrible dark circles and this is the best thing ever. I have tried many concealers for my dark circles. This is the one that blends perfectly and looks natural. I am not sure about paler shades though.

I have a budget suggestion - "collection 2000" make a liquid concealer that is about €6, and I use it on my super pale face I find it good for dark circles.

I recently saw a MUA suggest using a pink toned cream under the eye before concealing for really dark circles. Haven't tried it yet, but I know that catrice do a concealer selection with a pink toned one in it.

I have the same problem, I av been using "collection 1000 illuminating touch" lately, it light and cremey and has very good coverage... Its a concealer specifically for dark circles nd has light deflectors etc etc

Another vote for the collection 2000 one. Beats MAC and YSL in my opinion.

Wow, think I'll try the Collection 2000 because of the recommendations here!

2.Maybelline New York Cover Stick

Love Collection 2000's concealer, it's the Lasting Perfection one. The palest shade is 1 Fair which is perfect for me (I'd have a pretty similar skintone to the op).

I've used Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection for the last 2 years, nothing comes close in terms of coverage-it's not too heavy for under eyes but is also really good at covering spots etc.

I use light (I'd be Warm Ivory in Bobbi Brown) so I would reckon Fair would work with your skin tone.

I love Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. It is the best for blemishes imho.

I hate to say it but I don't like it for the eye area. It is too dry for that; at least for me. I'm 26 and it just settles on any fine lines. I apply a little amount with my ring finger with patting motion, which I always do for any under eye concealer. But I just don't like it for under eyes. It looks a bit artifical. I can't live without it though, as it is the best for blemishes.

The garnier anti dark circle eye roller is brilliant and very fair priced !
I also love Mac pro long wear concealer

Where can I buy this HG of concealers?! €6!
I've never seen collection 2000 in stores!

They stock it in Boots in the Jervis centre anyway. Couldn't see the very pale shade there yesterday though
