Best concealer for under-eye circles?

I have dark circles under my eyes. I've tried a couple of different concealers (the most recent one was by neutrogena and it came in a pen w/ a brush tip) but none of them seem to do a great job. Either they don't cover enough, or they get so cakey that it all ends up in the tiny lines under my eyes, making them way more pronounced.





Anyone have suggestions on a good brand or application technique? Thanks.Best concealer for under-eye circles?
I use the physician's formula gentle cover concealer in yellow, because it neutralizes purple and my dark circles are more purple then red. I first blend the yellow on and then I cover it with a flesh colored, liquid concealer and that does the trick.Best concealer for under-eye circles?
I use Phyiscians Formula 'green' concealer; it's packaged like lipstick, but green. Green neutralizes reds, purples, etc. I use a little on my eye circles and then cover them with a small amount of foundation. The concealer is think but not cakey, and lasts all day.
green is to neutralize redness... don't use that under your eyes!!!!





there are two options for undereye concealers- you need to brighten up the area to conteract the dark purple in the circles. go with a salmon pinkey color concealer or a yellow concealer. depending on your skins undertones, either one of those will work.
