I have really super dark under eye cirlces, but I can't get the eve pearl concealer. I heard it was super good, but i have a $20 note for Nordstrom and I'm deciding whether I should get a MAC concealer or the Clinique concealer that I mix with another concealer, but it's just such a hassle in the morning. Is the MAC concealer good? Should I stick with the Clinique? The Clinique one is like .5 oz for $19.50 which is kinda a rip off. Also everything cakes on me so easily.

I'm going to go a different direction and tell you to use stay don't stray by benefit. It's incredible, I use it for under my eyes and a primer and I wouldn't use anything else. I've tried every primer and undereye makeup out there, or at least close to, and this works better than anything I've ever tried. And it stays on without caking, with or without powder. I use a powder to set it, but that's just me, it's not nessesary to use one, I'm just used to doing that and it makes getting rid of any stray eyeshadow easier. Anyway, try the Benefit and see if it works, I know Sephora has a great value set where you get a couple of products plus the primer for what the primer costs alone, more than worth it!! Let us know what you end up with.

I've tried the Benefit one but it's too light for my skin

My favorite is Benefit's Boi-ing concealer, which comes in 3 different shades (last I knew) :)

What kind of skin type are you? I just really hate MAC face products- ONLY their FACE products- ( this includes any form of foundation or powder---including concealer- it cakes hardcore on me and breaks me out----- but EXCLUDING blush--I LOVE mac blushes and bronzers.)

Also, I recommend maybe try finding something that will also treat under eye circles as opposed to just concealing it. Benefit has an eye cream that specifically treats under eye circles. It's called, 'It's potent' eye cream.

@ Marcia- I love benefit, I work for them annnnnd I hate 'Stay don't stray' by benefit; it's horrible on MY SKIN because it creases a lot for me. That's why it's important to look for specific concealers for your skin type, that's why I asked Isabella what is her skin type is. I generally have to use a sheer liquid concealer and put skin powder or setting powder on it because it lasts a little longer and doesn't cake on me. You're so lucky that 'Stay don't stray' works for you!

@Lela- yes, you're right Boi-ing comes in 3 different shades still ;) 1,2,3 lol!!
