Italics are necessities, bolds are Holy Grails.

THE BASICS

  • IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer, Light Natural
    • This was creasing on me like mad for a while, but that may have been user error. Formula is quite thick, and I sometimes forget to keep that in mind. Skin tone match is damn near spot on
  • Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer, 160
    • I bought THE pink concealer, and this combined with the IT Cosmetics concealer is the only thing that has ever done anything for my undereye circles. I prefer this formula but am not sure what my actual skin tone match is
