You need to get something to counteract the color. A yellow concealer will help with that. Remember it is to counteract the bluish purple tones so don't use it on any other flaws like blemishes. Good luck!
To be honest if your circles are bad it may be worth it to try a higher end brand, it may be pricey but you may find your holy grail concealer and it will be worth it:)
The only drugstore concealer I use is the Maybelline Age Rewind, and then I set it with a little bit of powder foundation. This really ups the coverage and keeps it in place and looking flawless.
And I would be careful if you get the Hardcandy concealer mentioned...It is VERY thick and difficult to work with. Only a super small amount is needed. I hated that concealer very much:P Though many people love it so it might be worth your time.
Love the Revlon Photoready concealer. And the Hard Candy Glamouflage is pretty good too. I've heard that a lot of people really like the Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda concealer palette, I didn't care for it, but you might love it!
I like NYX orange concealer to cancel dark circles and then some good drug store concealers I like are 1.Rimel Match Perfection It acts as a Concealer and a Highlighter. 2.Revlon age defying and 3.Hard Candy Glam of Lauge Heavy duty concealer.
I love hardcandy concealer. It's called glamouflage. You can only get it at Walmart or online and s little goes a very long way. Also it's only $6! Not bad for a concealer. I love it!
Both nyx and hardcandy are great concealers as Tai said hard candy is only available at walmart or online though.... totally worth it, if you find your match, Not many shade options to choose from.

I've honestly never found a concealer that does anything to cover even a little bit of my dark circles.

Rikki, have you tried Benefit's Erase paste? Or maybe you should put a primer before putting on your concealer?
Jul 12, 2012
Rikki P.
I haaaaaate Erase Paste.
And I do use primer, always.
When I was saying concealer, I meant drugstore concealer 'cos that's what she's asking, hahaha.

Almay Bright Eyes concealer is awesome for a drug store concealer. It's easy to apply and blends smoothly.
