I was already an “undereye bag lady” since my college years, so I knew it was going to get much worse when I became a parent! There are no words for what sleep deprivation does to your body, especially your face. After I came out of the cloud of postpartum depression and actually started to care about looking human again, I continued my search for the best undereye concealers. The verdict? I’m still searching, but here are my top contenders.

Best-Undereye-Concealers

 

1) Prescriptives Flawless Skin Concealer – $24

This was my go-to concealer for many years because it is extremely lightweight and gives great coverage! Even as you dab with it, you can feel the silkiness and transparency of the texture. The Prescriptives line suggests you get 2 colors: 1 “warm” and 1 “cool” color to blend for the perfect combination. I like how the concealer comes with a little mirror so I can quickly dab it as the day goes by for a quick fix up.

2) Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Touch – $42

I remember using this ages ago and that it was the biggest “it” item for under eye concealers for a long time. The coverage is a bit more liquidly and the colors are not as exact for my yellowish skin tone, but it is long lasting and so many people swear by it that I have to suggest it for others in case it is their miracle worker as well. I don’t really like the brush applicator either, but I suppose it makes it easier for applying on the go!

3) Laura Mercier High Concealer for Under Eyes – $29

This is my most recent purchase and so far I really like how a small little bit goes a long way. It’s very thick so I suggest putting it on right after you put on your eye cream for the day. It definitely brightens the eye area so make sure you blend thoroughly and continue to blend with your foundation or powder color. I’m a huge fan of this line in general because the colors and the textures always seem to be more golden, honey colored and neutral.

4) Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer – $29

I personally don’t like applicators like this (similar to a lip gloss) but other than that, the coverage and colors seem pretty great. The lady behind the counter mentioned that the color “vanilla” works beautifully on many different face shades. This also brightens around the eyes so you can look more awake. And alive!

5) Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick – $44

I use this foundation stick right after I use a concealer and the texture and colors are a perfect match for me. It’s very simple and easy to apply for a quick fix. Currently, I use this with the Laura Mercier concealer and combined they make a great cover up.

6) Makeup Forever Full Cover Concealer – $32

I love all of Makeup Forever’s products but they definitely veer on the full coverage side. This would be a more thick and heavy coverage so I recommend applying some good moisturizers and primers so that it doesn’t become cakey. This can be used for your whole face, not just your eyes.

Even after all this research and spending tons of money on under eye treatment products, I still get told “you look tired.” (Seriously, that question should be taken out of the English language!)

Anyone else have other under eye products they would like to share?
