Under eye cover up?

[terri1020]

Shopping for Oct. 20 cruise. I have dark circles and I'm looking for suggestions for a great eye cover up. I had been using Max Factor Pan-Stik, which was wonderful, but I can't find it anymore. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I use Lancome Flash Retouche. It has that nifty little brush at the top and you just click the end a few times to bring the product through. I find that it's so much easier to use the right amount with it; it doesn't look too cakey or dark.

How well does it cover?

I use Bare Minerals Well Rested!! Its a powder. sometimes I just use it and not the foundation and it looks like I have been up for hours and no dark circles.

Is Bare Minerals a brand name and where can I find it?

Go to Nordstrom.com and they have a pink pencil that doesn't only "cover" dark circles, it reflects light and really makes a difference! (I'm not at home to see the brand, but I'll try to get back to you later!) It's the best purchase I've ever made!

Please let us know the brand -- I saw something like that on one of those "makeover" shows and I think it would really work for me.

I love the Stila Illuminating Concealer. It not only covers, but slightly illuminates the eye area. (great for photo's!) I write a beauty column and for my June bridal issue, I was comparing concealers and I tried about 6 and everyday would wear a different one on each eye and ask friends/associates which one looked best and the Stila got the highest votes.

 

Of course, that doesn't mean it's best for you, but it's worth checking out, IMHO.

 

Also, many make-up artists suggest wearing the concealer on top of the foundation. I don't always agree, but again, it's worth experimenting with.

I also use the Bare Minerals Well Rested lightly both under the eyes and on the lids..really brightens them up and lives up to its name (I have pretty bad hereditary dark circles). I like it because its virtualy "goof proof" to use and doesn't look like a concealer (some of them can be tricky to use and get natural results).

 

I buy my Bare Minerals on QVC.com.

I use Mac Studio finish concealer. I use concealer first under the eye, then foundation and then concealer again. It works wonders. It even covers up this birthmark I have on my face.

I use Everyday Minerals Sunlight. I bet it's similar to Bare Minerals.

 

You can try a free sample of Everyday Minerals for only shipping and handling. In fact, you get

3 Foundations, 1 Blush and 1 Concealer in a sample mini kit.

LOL, Lois! I've seen her before and I can guarantee you she wears about a ton more than I do. She realllly piles on the makeup. ;)

I love Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat! ;)

 

The best stuff EVER!!! #2 for me. Although Channel makes a good one. Touche Eclat is one of those things you want with you if you're stranded and can only have three things:D

I think alot of it is the studio lights....they probably wear alot

more makeup on air.

But yes, she does wear quite a bit.....and I am at the total

opposite end.....I wear no face make up at all.;)

I wear more make in the evenings on my cruises than I ever

do here at home.

For work.....eye shadow and mascara......thats it.

Cruises (evenings).....shadow (and more of it LOL), mascara, blush

and lipstick.

But I still don't put foundation on......just don't like the feeling of anything

on my face.

So funny! Same for me and one of the 3 would be lipstick....can't live without it. ;)

I've never really felt makeup on my face. I never know it's there, but, I'm with you...I don't pile it on either! We must just be natural beauties! LOL

JC, why not start a new thread...If you were stranded on a desert island, which 3 things........?

[madge57]

I just go on their web site!! It so easy and if thats all you want than you don't have to buy anything else. And yes Bare Minerals is a brand name!! Its amazing!!

[Dihead]

i use mary kay concealer..

it doesn't settle into my little undereye wrinkles, stays all day, covers dark circles and is waterproof.. *love* it.

Sorry I missed this! It covers pretty well, or at least I think so!

 

I got my Clinique bonus bag in the mail last week. They had a sample of "All About Eyes", a cream for circles, bags, and lines. I've been using it and it seems to have lightened up my circles quite a bit.

Ok, the pink "concealer" is by Trish McEnvoy. It's a brightening pencil in pink. Apply after your foundation to the dark circles and "voila"--they are no longer noticable!!!! It's amazing. The pink reflects light, so you don't have to have a thick mass of make-up under your eyes!

Nordstrom.com has it!

I've been wondering how great the Touche Eclat would be so appreciate all the advice. Can anyone tell me where to buy it....have to get a good match to the skin and that means going into a store to test it. Someone else told me YSL lipstick is fabulous. Thanks in advance!
