I use Hard Candy Glamoflauge to correct the darkness then my Mac concealer on top. I'm currently waiting on a corrector palette to be delivered in the mail. I will let you know how that works.

Corrector palettes saved me! I have horrible blue vein dark circles and I'm very pale. I use a shade darker than my skintone of the OCC concealer with the orangey peach corrector. I still have tiny signs of darkness when I look up close. In photos it reflects so my eyes look bright and awake.

This was the only drugstore brand that has worked for me but, I'm so excited to get my corrector palette.

Using a very dense concealer brush helps too. The ones that are like the mini versions of foundation brushes that Sigma and Sedona Lace have.

I'm a shade or two deeper in skin tone than you, and my horrid dark circles are such a disfigurement to the rest of my clear, golden skin. Working in partnership to the dark discoloring under my eyes is the hyperpigmentation on my chin and upper lip. While I have been told it's not as bad as I think, when I look in the mirror, it absolutely sinks my confidence. When I see how much "healthier" I look with my color corrector and then concealer, it's affirmative that I cannot leave the house without them on. I am SO ready to try laser treatments.

But the ace in my spades of makeup? ORANGE color corrector. Not peach, not deep peach, not yellow-orange, not red-orange. Orange, orange, orange. Bless this child of red and yellow! It works AMAZINGLY WELL for anyone with mid-deep to deep-dark skin. The dreaded darkness just disappears, and I am whole again. After many trials with every color corrrector I could research (and I'm sure I got them all), I resorted to making my own. I mix orange cosmetic grade pigment with Benefit Stay Don't Stray (the formula is perfect to make a water-proof version for oily skin), and it's a least four months before I have to "remix" another bottle. Many color correctors out there I had found too hard to blend with a regular concealer, so I desperately needed something that would stay put as I layered over. And until I find a better solution to the problem, this is what I'm working with.

Ashley the palette I purchased has orange in it. That's the main reason I bought it.
