The Best Under Eye Concealer There Is

So to start out, I don't really have super dark circles or bad hollows, so I guess I'm lucky in that department. HOWEVER, if I did? I know this stuff would do the trick. (Ok if I had REALLY dark circles, I would use a salmon colored corrector under the concealer I'm about to mention.)

Aside from the coverage, which is fantastic, it's actually the texture of this stuff that I really like.

One of my biggest makeup pet peeves is seeing the area under my eyes look dry, dehydrated, crepe-y, thin and basically just really old.

So many concealers I've tried dry the area out so badly that by mid day, I have crows feet without even smiling. Uncool. Un-fucking-cool.

BUT because this concealer has maracuja oil it, it's super moisturizing. So this product, paired with my Shiseido eye cream (HERE) my under eyes look youthful and smooth during the day. And never cake-y either, which is another reason this product is just so good.

I am of course, talking about the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer.

So ok, is this absolutely creaseless? No, *but* I'm convinced that no concealer is 100% creaseless because most of us have some sort of lines under our eyes because of, you know, being 3 dimensional. That said, if you set this with the right powder, you can for sure avoid 90% of creasing.

Another really popular concealer I've tried but hated is the the Nars Creamy Concealer. It's fine on blemishes and to conceal redness on my face but it sucks under my eyes. It's just so drying. So I'm using it but only to get rid of it (that shit was like $28 bucks...I'm finishing that tube if it kills me). So many beauty gurus obsess over it but frankly I prefer my Maybelline Fit Me Concealer for my face.

The powder I use to set my face and under my eyes is this:

(Looks white, comes out translucent)

The trick is that you have to set the concealer basically immediately after you apply it. And prior to setting it, I blend in the concealer with a beauty blender, not a brush. It absorbs just the right amount of product so there's still coverage but there's no cake.

(Oh and another thing: I also own the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder that is specifically made for under eyes...and I hate it. Perhaps the products don't go well together but every time I've tried to use the Secret Brightening Powder, it just kinda sticks to my skin in like, small white patches. Maybe it would work better with a drier concealer but who wants a dry concealer under their eyes, ya know?)

Lastly, I only use this the Tarte concealer under my eyes; even with my dry skin it's too emollient for my face. I mistakenly thought it I could use it to cover blemishes and redness around my nose and chin...oh hellll no. That was a huge mistake. I was not dewy, I was aggressively oily like, an hour after I applied it. AND I used a setting powder.

Have you guys tried this concealer? And because I'm crazy and always looking for the next best thing, what concealers do you swear by?
