Let's talk about concealer

So like most Mummys I have terrible under-eye circles - nothing about 300 hours of sleep wouldn't fix. But as that is unlikely, I may have to settle for concealer.

Now I have never really used one so I'm at a loss as to where to start. I don't want to go spend lots of $$$ only to find something is crap.

I am just starting to wear a bit of makeup again, mostly just some mineral foundation, mascara and a little blush. So I'd like to add an easy to use, effective under-eye concealer to my 3 minute routine! I have tried a mineral powder one and it was terrible. My skin is dry and reasonably sensitive. I have I guess a creamy/light complexion and dark blonde hair.

Suggestions please!!! ;) Oh and any application tips would be awesome :redface:

I just use the maybeline one that comes in a tube witha dip stick thingy like lipgloss.. it's a light coloured one and it covers everything really well withouth making the skin dry.
Don't use ones that are like pencils iykwim cause they will stick to the dry skin, try to get a liquid one...

Oh, and put the concealer on and dab it in... don't rub it. :)

I have been using a tinted moisturiser after I have used a spray on toner. Then if I shine I use a bit of powder. This covers the red around my nose & cheeks.

I find this takes about 2-3 minutes.

I LOVE this guy...check out his video on top 5 concealers! You tube

He's not at all fussed about brands and gives very honest reviews!

toomanyshoes - thanks so much for that link, finally had a chance to look and he is awesome!!

I always use a good eye cream prior too. DD's peeled the label off mine so i can't remember what brand it is. I find if I forget this step no matter what I do they look like dark circles still.
