In a world where few of us get the sleep we need, concealers are like manna from heaven. Because dark circles flat out suck. On a bad morning, I think mine make me look haggard, tired and like I fell off a truck. Over the years, I’ve tried more dark circle concealers than I can count (it’s in the double digits!), but lately I’ve been loving one called. It’s made by a company called theBalm, and I’ve mentioned it a couple times before. It comes in six shades (I use Medium) and blends like a dream. Plus, it doesn’t settle into my fine lines and lasts all day long. To deal with extremely dark circles, some women layer what are called color correctors beneath their regular concealers. Many lines carry ’em. I tried one from DuWop last year called, but I wasn’t overly impressed (it didn’t last through the day). Which brings me to this: How do you deal with your dark circles, and what’s the best dark circle concealer you’ve tried? Cast your vote using this format in the comments like so: VOTE: Your Best Concealer for Dark Circles Goes Here. And this is where you say what makes it special. This is what works for me: 1) amazing cosmetic concealer in medium beige – used as a corrector – it’s the only product that actually covers up the darkness 2) makeup forever concealer (the one in the squeeze tube) #12 – this goes on top to “restore” the colour – only colour i’ve found that matches my skin and doesn’t look orange or pasty (using this alone doesn’t hide the darkness but does match my skin). Alternative – georgio armani concealer in 4 or 4.5 (both discontinued i think) are the only ones that match my skin, and i can get away with one product on certain days, but still doesn’t hide the circles completely for reference, i am nc 44 in mac studio sculpt foundation – these are the indian/south asian dark circles i’m talking about.

Have tried all the mac concealers, some bobbi brown concealers and correctors, laura mercier, benefit and quite a few others. I have the Time Balm concealer – I agree, I like it a lot! I’ll have to find out where I stashed it! ButI have major dark circles (of course, lately they’ve been looing better – I think it’s due to using Neutrogena Dermatologics Retinol Nx Serum and Eye Cream – which I got from QVC. I can’t use Retin-A – too harsh – I’m not willing to be red and peeling – but I think this stuff really really helps! I’ve tried hundreds of concealers – I’m not kidding! ![]() The ones I’m rotating now (and I think they are the best) are Bobbi Brown Eye Brightener (the old formulation in the pot that is now discontinued), Philosophy eye hope anti-aging full coverage concealer stick, and my latest find, Smashbox Pro Waterproof Second Skin Concealer (this one I mix with a drop of eye cream – it then covers but disappears into my skin). I use Time Balm concealer in Medium (thanks for the tip, Karen!) layered over Bobbi Brown’s color corrector in Dark Bisque and dusted with BB’s Pale Yellow powder. The color combo is perfect for my skin tone (NC 42) and the Time Balm seems to “seal in” the BB corrector. ![]() (The BB corrector and concealer combo was too creamy.) By the way, Karen, I’ve been lurking/reading your blog for years. This is my first post!
