Can someone recommend a really good concealer for dark circles and undereye bags?

I have tried so many of them that I don't know what else to do. Surgery is not an option. I want something to decrease the puffiness and cover the dark.Can someone recommend a really good concealer for dark circles and undereye bags?
i'm in the beauty industry, so i know alot about this stuff...to decrease puffiness, you need an eye cream. oil of olay makes great ones, theres is the only over the counter skin products i will use. i personally like the regenerast lifting one, i use it once in the morning, and once at night. you also need a really good concealer, 1-2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone. if your circles are blue/purple, try using a yellow/orange based product. the yellow/orange is going to neutralize the bluish/purple tones in the skin. if you need to, try applying concealer, then your all over face color, then a little more of the all over face color just underneath your eyes for extra coverage. you can also use a powder for this step, it seems to look less cakey and alittle more natural. also, never use your fingers! always use a brush...it covers way better, trust me. i hope this helps.Can someone recommend a really good concealer for dark circles and undereye bags?
Bobbi Brown makes an awesome creamy concealer. She even has application tips on her site.

Try Illuminare or Dermablend. There are also many other brands you can try them yourself at Ulta stores or go to the mall at a large department store.
There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:


Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water %26amp; stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath %26amp; let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K %26amp; Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.
