fit me concealer leaves me looking ashy, elf concealer doesn't conceal very well, MAC seems too cakey. HELP! (i have dark circles that seem to sink in, not puff out)
I really like the MAC Select Cover Up.. it's in a squeeze tube, not the Select Moisturecover that is in a tube with a doe foot applicator. I use the tiniest bit under my eyes, followed by the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in the shade 160 Brightener. It's irridescent and pink but adds the most sheer glow under my eyes. I have a lot of friends that love the Dark Circle Eraser in their regular shade for under eyes, because it doesn't crease! You should definitely check it out - I got mine on sale for $6!
Amazing Cosmetics makes a good one (Amazing Concealer) that gives great coverage - it starts out pretty thin, then thickens as you work it and blends out beautifully. I also like the YSL Touche Eclat ("8 hours of sleep in a tube!" they call it) as it brightens and conceals, though it is a little thin for some days. It's also pricey, but Milani makes a great dupe, called HD Advance Concealer, which I've found to be just as good, though it comes in fewer colors :(
Amazing Concealer: $28
Touche Eclat: $40
HD Advance Concealer: Less than $8
Erase Paste was my "under eye saver"! The salmon colored concealer is what you should go for and theirs is amazing. ONE container lasted me over a year so it is definitely worth the price. I also used it on my other scars that I had and it works wonders to help brighten you up and it lasts. Definitely the best I've used and I've got genetically dark under eye circles :/

benefit's erase paste is really great to brighten your undereye circles while benefit's boing concealer helps to cover up the "purple-ness" of your dark circles! love both
I'm currently using the L.A. Girl Pro-Conceal HD Concealer in Toffee. I love it! It's super inexpensive ($2) and really does brighten my eyes. I'm going to my second tube soon!
^^^^Yesssss^^^ I Love the LA Girl Pro Concealer. I also use Ruby Kisses face creator. I love it. Its super inexpensive (around 5 bucks) and you get a lot of product!!!
Aww I'm sorry to hear the Fit Me concealer didn't work for you! I just really got into under eye concealing and it works ok for me I suppose. I do really like NYX's concealer in a jar though! You should give that a try! You should try out the LA Girl HD concealer too like Sojourner and Alyson suggested. I've never tried it but I've heard it works miracles. I've been looking for it in stores everywhere
I had really dark under eye circles and I had tried a lot of different brands to cover them but I finally asked for help at the MAC counter and the makeup artist helped me pick out the right shade for my circles (Studio fix concealer, the one in the pot) it goes on creamy so for me it isn't too cakey. If you aren't sure of what you need for yourself I would just suggest you ask either at Sephora or MAC or at a department store counter for help with concealers and they Makeup Artists are usually always willing to help you out. Your skin may be different from me or any other person on this forum so you need to see what works best for you.
Though I use Mac once the most often, I currently like to use the La Roche Posay under the eye concealer. It comes in a yellow tone so it kind of erases them.
I really works if you have kind of blue circles under your eye!

Bobbi Brown Corrector. If MAC didn't just discontinue their Studio Sculpt Concealer recently, I'd recommend that as well.
