Best concealer and eye cream for wrinkly, dark circles?

I sound pretty hideous from that description, but the rest of my face is OK; I think I've dried out my eyes from years of sticking piles of concealer under them. I'm now in my mid 30s and have kind of given up with trying to hide the darkness but have been using FakeUp by Benefit which is very moisturising but makes my mascara smudge. I've said 'but' too many times. Basically, is there anything moisturising and concealing? Thanks

I've recently started using the new Max Factor CC crayon/stick thing, in yellow. It's for using under the eye, and you put it on after moisturiser, before foundation and concealer. I think it's really good, and well priced at a tender! It definitely neutralises the dark circles really well ( mine are pretty bad as the kids are still getting up during the nightHmm).

That should say a tenner! Grin
Also, just to clarify, it does go on smoothly and doesn't cake, as you might expect from a crayon.

Alison Raffaele True Concealer is lovely, hard to find these days though.

Sarah McNamara's Miracle Skin Transformer Treat and Conceal works well; I apply with a concealer brush, then pat into skin. A teeny amount goes a long way.

The holy grail would be a treatment product that really reduces/ gets rid of dark circles. Benefit's 'It's Potent' has mixed reviews. I've never found anything that has any effect.

By Terry has good reviews, expensive though.

I got the by terry touche velouté which gets good reviews but I found it dried really chalky but on a plus you can unscrew it from the bottom so I mixed in a sample of armani primer which has made it usable now and not a complete waste of £30+ I use that or Trish mcevoy eye lift which I think I like but it doesn't look like it justifies the £30+ I paid for it too the packaging is mega basic

I've heard Bobbi Brown do an under-eye corrector cream that's supposed to be very good. I'm thinking of trying it out after next pay day.

teh product that reduces dark circles is orange concealer with really high pigment - so Mac or similar.
For cream, the only one I really rate is the Estee Lauder one in a brown jar - night time something or other. (and I have tried them all over the years!)

I use Rimmel's Match Perfection concealer and highlighter and love it. It is very light so doesn't cake and can be built up or powdered over for a little more coverage. I'm not a Rimmel fan at all but I love this particular item and it is a staple in my very limited makeup collection. I have seen it be compared to Touche Eclat but I have never used Touche Eclat so cannot confirm or deny.
