What’s a good colour corrector product for use for dark under eye circles?

I know there’s lots of kinds, but from your own experience which product has worked the best? I’ve always struggled with dark under eye circles, they’re still slightly visible even when I’m wearing full coverage concealer. I’m thinking colour corrector might be the solution to my problem, I’m just not sure which product I should try.

This one isn't a color corrector, but have you tried the IT COSMETICS - Bye Bye Under Eye™ Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer ? This one is my favourite for concealing dark circles. It Cosmetics also makes an illuminating version as well, but I havent tried to that one as I've always used the normal one. IT COSMETICS - Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination™ Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer

The only drawback to the It Cosmetics concealers is that the shade range is quite limited and if you are on the fairer side, they may be too dark.

The only one that doesn’t cake up my concealer is the Bobbi brown under eye corrector! It’s pricey but a little goes a long way and it works so great!

@caitaloo You could try a peach corrector.  Urban Decay makes one and BECCA - Under Eye Brightening Corrector

I have this same problem.  I've tried lots of things but a color corrector/concealer combo has worked best.  I use Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer as my color corrector (apply first) and Perricone MD No Make-Up concealer (applied last).  If you haven't tried either products, totally worth the shot!

I have really bad under eye circles.  They're hereditary and nothing can really be done to remove them, so I cover with colour corrector and my base products.  I've tried a few of the "potted" colour correctors (Becca under eye brightening, It cosmetics bye bye under eye corrector etc) and some palette forms (stilla correct and perfect, a Nyx one I can't recall the name of etc).  I've found that the ones in tubes (make up for ever) or in "lip gloss" packaging (amazing cosmetics, elf, urban decay naked skin) tend to have lighter formulas that I prefer, same with the YSL click style pens.  if your circles aren't as bad, the YSL click pens are great.  If they're harder to cover my favourite is the Urban Decay. I find that after my skincare and primer, I put a light layer of this under my eye, let it set a bit, then blend out with a damp beauty blender.  I then put on my foundation or tinted moisturizer, normally not going right under my eye then move onto concealer which does go right under my eyes.  I find the thicker product don't spread as nicely as the thinner ones, and only end up accentuating my darkness when they look so caked under the eye.  The thinner YSL and UD are more skin like so they don't look as bad.  Keep in mind I'm 38, and tend to wear lighter to medium coverage foundation and full coverage concealer on my very pale skin. If you're much younger or going for a full coverage Instagram look you may be able to pull off having more product on.

 

Hope this helps a bit
