Under eye darkness

Between being a person that doesn't sleep well and I slight iron deficiency I have a little bit of purple under my eyes, using concealer and foundation helps cover it up a little but you can still see it. I have looked into Smashbox color corrector but I was wondering what you lovelies would suggest (hopefully something on the cheaper end). Thanks

Laura Mercier's "Secret Concealer" does WONDERS for my terrible under-eyes. I've tried soo many different concealers but all of them had a really thin consistency that barely covered the dark bags up. Secret Concealer is a bit heavy..but it really works! I am in love with this product!! And it lasts all day to give a flawless finish :)

I'm actually getting ready to take a trip to Sephora to ask the same question. I've never been able to get rid of my dark circles. I've heard Benefit Erase Paste is great, so I'm thinking about trying that.

you really should be considering an eye cream like Dermalogica total eye care as this will help eliminate dark circles, dehydration & puffiness too :) xx

I have the same problem! especially because I'm iron deficient as well. Garnier has got like an under eye caffeine roll on which i've heard is good..concealer will always help too. Even putting cucumber slices on top of your eyes while you're resting will help.

Amazing cosmetics concealer is perfect for under eyes but it is pure pigment and thick so it's not for someone with dry under eyes. Dior hydrating concealer works wonders under my eyes on top of smashbox under eye concealer. :)

to cover dark circles you need a good concealer and yellow powder. If you apply yellow powder under and over your concealer, it neutralizes the purple shades.
