I don't have bad skin, so I normally don't wear anything more than tinted moisturizer. However, I do have dark circles under my eyes (they're hereditary, I do get my eight hours) and I need help on finding a concealer that will stay on all day and look natural...can u help me?

Neutrogena makes good, inexpensive concealer. When you buy concealer, though make sure it is 2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone. If it is the same color as your skin tone, it will just eccentuate the dark circles. If you can't find a concealer that you like, find a light eyeshadow that's two shades lighter than your skin tone, preferably one with a little shimmer. It will reflect off any light and hide the dark circles. Trust me, this works. I've tried it myself. I hope that helped!

I have the exact same problem, I find that I need to wear foundation and concealer in order to some what have a natural look. I use maybelline stick concealer, it seams to have the most coverage and last the longest. I have tried them all including top brand at department stores.

How about your daily diet?
Puffiness around the eyes can be triggered by allergies or excessive consumption of salt. Smoking can also aggravate the problem. You will want to consider avoiding beverages before bedtime (since fluid can gather around the eyes), watch your salt intake (products containing MSG). Also, place a washcloth in ice cold water and apply to your eyes for 15 minutes once to twice a day. The cold will shrink the swollen blood vessels.

Physicials Formula (found in drugstores) has a line of colored concealers that work well. (For example, yellow to counteract the purple or the dark circles).
I like to cover the concealer with a light foundation, but I do not know that it is necessary.

Estee Lauder Double-Wear stay in place concealer.
If you under eye circles have a bluish undertone, try mixing in a little bit of peach color corrective concealer.

Physicials Formula has some amazing concealers that are different colors for different skin problems.
They have green for rashy spots, tan for blemishes and, my favorite, yellow for under eye darkness. just rub a thin layer under your eyes and powder over it, and you're good to go.
you can get it at any drug store.

I use an Almay under eye concealer, but my sister swears by Mary Kays under eye cream.
