I have dark circles under my eyes. It is a little bit because I'm tired, but also genetic - both my dad and sister have them, too. Not only is the skin under there dark but the pores appear bigger. Can anyone recommend a good under-eye cream or a concealer? I'm pretty fair, dry skin, and don't like anything too heavy.
FWIW, I use Dr. Jart Black BB cream, loose mineral powder, blush, eyeshadow, and mascara on a daily basis.

I use Mary Kay CC cream and love it. I have the lightest shade, cause I'm very pale, also, and it's perfect for me. It's very light and has SPF in it.

I use a new brand at Sephora called Becca. It's the best under eye concealer I've ever used!

Oh man, my mom also has very bad under eye circles and she just told me about this cream that she has been using for about 3 months now, and I am telling you it's so noticeable how much better her eyes look underneath!!! I guess she heard somewhere that part of the problem is from rubbing your eyes, I'm not sure though.
This cream is great for healing bruises and apparently works amazingly under the eye too! I just got some in the mail yesterday so I'm excited to see how it works. Only $10 so definitely worth a shot!

I'm fair and have dark circles and have had good luck with Bobbi Brown's corrector and concealer (2 steps). Makes me not look like I've been punched in the face every day.

I use Mabelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer. It comes in different shades, but I use "Brightener" which works great for my pale skin and makes a noticeable difference.

I've had horrible under eye circles since I was a kid and use Lancome Effacernes, its the best I've found after many years of trial and error.

I use a combo of Bobbi Brown corrector and then the concealer. I feel like that helps, and I have bad, bad circles!

Someone just recommended IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye to me. I'm going to try it since it's 20% off at Ulta with 16% off on ebates!

@Adira: I use this maybelline concealer too. Its not expensive and very quick to use. easy to layer if you need a bit more too, and doesn't get cakey.

I really, really like Nars "radiant creamy concealer". I'm very pale as well.

The best concealer I've ever used (and I have honestly tried a ton bc my fair skin shows spots easy after I have a blemish and it takes forever for them to go away) is the Urban Decay concealer pencil. It's worth it!
