Hey, just wondered if anyone knew of any good products that cover up dark circles under eyes thats not too expensive? Nothing seems to cover them well. Also, products that are available in high-street shops like boots...superdrug? would be more useful. Thanks in advance.

I use some Yellow cream makeup you can buy from any manufacturer of products. You use this first to cover the under eye circles and yes it is yellow...and it will look yellow on your face under your eyes...Just blend it in very well and even put it on your eyelids also. Then use a cover up product something light to cover up the yellow. Then as regular put your base on and powder. If you do it right you will not see any yellow under your eyes or any dark circles..
I use this everyday....Mine is mary kay yellow xcoverup so its a bit expensive but there are some like at walmart and walgreens that are inexpensive and work just the same.

Dark under-eye circles have many causes. They can be hereditary, seasonal (allergy or sun-related), hormonal (more likely to appear during pregnancy or your period), or maybe you're just really tired! Whatever the cause, and however often you're afflicted with dark circles, you want to hide them FAST, right?
Suggestions like "Get 8 hours of sleep" and "Drink lots of water" are fantastic, but only for long-run results even if they don't wind up preventing your dark circles, we all should definitely do both of those things. But for the quickest of quick fixes, you're going to have to use makeup.
If you normally use foundation, go ahead and apply it as usual. The wash of coverage provided by foundation will even out your complexion and eliminate at least a bit of the problem, showing you exactly where you need to apply concealer.
Apply concealer to the darkened areas. Not your regular concealer, but one that you've acquired especially for this purpose. If the circles under your eyes tend to be very purple, use concealer with a yellowish tone. If the under-eye circles are blue, get a concealer that is more orange colored. Reddish circles? Grab an olive-based concealer and if your circles have more of a brownish tone, try one with a blue or mauve shade. These concealers will look funny in the tube, but when they're applied to your dark circles you will immediately see their neutralizing affects. It will still look a little off, but your eyes will look remarkably better after the final steps…
Powder the area under your eyes with very fine translucent powder to set the corrective concealer, and then go over the area one more time with your regular, everyday concealer (the one that matches the rest of your happy, non-discolored skin).

To cover up dark circles, YSL is probably the best concealer in the market http://www.mydarkcirclesblog.com/2006/11/29/top-5-concealers-part-1/

Mary Kate and Ashley have a good concealer that has a dry end ( looks like lipstick) and a wet concealer to go over it all in one tube. Works good on any part of your face.

The BEST solution is have enough sleep, eat lots of fruits and vegs, drink lots of water and rest.
I've also heard that putting used tea bag on the eyes helps..
