For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I find the best concealer for under eye dark circles is YSL Touche Eclat. If that is too expensive shop around for one with light reflecting properties. I am 39 and have had to hide my dark circles for a few years now,unfortunately I inherited them from my mum so getting more sleep is a waste of time.lol. I have no idea about the creams though as I consider them a waste of money after trying many and none of them working.:-(
Hi
I use dior skinflash, it is similar to touche eclat but thicker so you use less. I took a really bad allergic reaction to touche eclat and having spoken to a couple of beauticians, apparently this is very common if you have sensitive skin! So try and test it out before you buy if you have sensitive skin!

Clarins have a copy Touche Eclat out at the minute. It contains the same light reflecting properties as Touche Eclat, but is much more water based and a lot less thick cream like that of Touche Eclat. I really wanted the same thing, so I just went into a department store, asked them for what I wanted, and put severeal on the back of my hand to compare, and then put the final two I liked on each eye to compare. I still ended up buying Touche Eclat though !
This is my �photographer� side writing you today. The challenge with many of the low to mid-price concealers is that they tend to be too heavy, resulting in a defined point where the concealer show up once the base sets.
I agree with Daffy regarding YSL Touche Eclat. It�s an excellent product. However, based on your age group, you may wish to consider one of the Guerlain products, particularly the 'Touche de Teint.' It tends to blend more naturally.
In addition to dark circles, if you�re encountering any puffiness, in France we would typically use chilled serving spoons and rub the base gently around the base of the eye and above the cheek bone. It�s even more appropriate during the seasonal changes when you tend to put on make-up in a warm home, then step outside into the cold. This can directly affect the natural earthen elements of many cosmetics, giving your face a definitive �made-up� look, rather than a natural look.
And one last consideration. As down-market as it may sound, some of the Boot�s Number 7 products are proving to be comparable if not superior to some of the most pricy (and gimmicky) products on the market.
If you�d like expert advice, rather than from a beautifully made up young lady who has attended only one or two courses on how to apply make-up and sell it at the same time, try contacting the Guerlain counter at Harrods and ask if you can book a session with one of their cosmetic consultants. They are typically in the stores 4-6 times a year.
If this is out of your area, I�d suggest trying one of the Elizabeth Arden Red Door locations, where you can obtain the same advice and equally good products. However, for concealers, I still endorse Guerlain above all.
I wish you well

Wow Village Vicar I'm impressed is there no end to your talents!!
Dark circles are a build up of toxins so drinking lots of water can help.
I personally find Liz Earles Eyebright tonic is fantastic as are her other products http://www.lizearle.com/products.php?range=2&m nuid=1&S=ea0d9cf471dea1f9a581
Good Luck
