What's The Best Under Eye Concealer?

I have always dabbled with the thought of trying contact lenses. Not because I don't like my glasses, I love them! I have worn glasses since I was very young, so the thought of walking around outside without a frame on my face, is daunting to say the least! For many glasses-wearers, you will understand that glasses can feel like apart of your face, permanently, in a positive way! Without them, I honestly feel naked and everyone can see me, if that makes sense? It does to me, anyway!

Well, I have been thinking of trying contact lenses, purely for the novelty of knowing what it is like, to see clearly, without glasses. I would also take this opportunity to wear contacts on special occasions, nights out, etc. I do genuinely enjoy wearing my glasses. I think they frame my face well, and I don't quite look the same without them!
So, the whole point to this blog post, is I am looking for a good, high coverage under eye concealer. I am lucky to be able to hide my eyes behind my glasses, and also to be able to heavily apply eye make up, as the appearance is diluted through the glasses. I always have had dark circles. They probably aren't even too bad for a 21 year old, but I would feel concious of them, never mind feeling exposed without my glasses!

I would also like to note, I currently use Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair, which does the job, but lately I have started to notice it is quite drying, which leads to creasing. Not a particularly nice look. I am prepared to venture into the world of high end products, but these are all unknown to me. This is where I need your help! What high coverage under eye concealers would you recommend?

I would be so grateful for any advice or recommendations!

    1. I've heard really good things about the Erase Paste! I hate my dark circles and nothing seems to, well, erase them!

  2. I had erasdd paste its nice but not if you have slightly dry skin. Same with the collection 2000 one. If you want to go for a cream one soap and glory kick ass is great but the new fake up fro. Benefit is by far the best thing ive tried. Because it moisturises at the same time. I have a review on it on my blog. And of the soap ajd glory one too.

    1. Mine phone does that all the time! I never think to proof read before posting!

      I'm really tempted into the new Benefit one, as it has the moisturising balm. It seems exactly what I am looking for! I like the look of the Soap and Glory one, also.

      I'll a have good read of your reviews. Thank you for your helpful advice! :)

  4. The new Benefit Fake Up really is great, I went to the blogger launch of it and got some to test and I love it. It's much better than the Erase Paste in my opinion, and the moisturising ring feels lovely.
    The mac select cover up (in your picture) is good too- especially if you use mac foundation in the same shade. But I found it much easier to use once I had decanted it into a pot- using it from the tube was a nightmare and caused lots of wastage.
    Hope that helps :-) Bet you'll look lovely with your contacts in- post a photo on here!

    1. I think the Fake Up might be the one to go for! I just hope it has the coverage to hide my dark circles. The balm seems to be perfect for keeping my eyes moisturised and not creasing and dry.

      I have never tried any MAC face products before, so I think I would need to read some reviews and research it. Not too keen on the squeezy packaging, though.

      I will post a picture and what concealer I ended up with! Thank you! :)
