so years ago i used to use the elf hd lifting concealer in i think the shade light. it was the best match for me and then it got discontinued. i have been struggling to find a concealer that checks my boxes for shade ever since. i have purple/bluish dark circles under my eyes, my skin overall i think is more light olive/yellowish but under my eye ive found that more pinkish tones look more natural. i hate a super bright under eye that looks like you put on a bunch of concealer or is really thick and obvious, basically i just want to cover up the darkness and be as natural looking as possible. it doesn’t even need to be full coverage, just to help not look like im dying lol.
the problem is every new concealer i’ve gotten is either too yellow or too light/bright but once i go into deeper shades then it also just looks off and too warm. i think i need a neutral/cooler toned shade that’s a bit deeper but not too dark and the elf hd lifting one did that perfectly i remember the shade being a bit deeper than you would expect for a light shade but it just worked and nothing i seem to try has that almost light/medium cooler (but not too cool) greyish brownish tone (im just throwing out words now lolll)
i just recently tried the maybelline age rewind concealer in shade 110 but it still seems a bit too light. the tone is pretty decent because it almost has a bit of a grey vibe kinda like the elf one had but i dont like the applicator and it just isn’t doing it for me, i just want to find my holy grail.
does anyone have any recommendations that work for them to cover dark circles but still look natural, have that neutral tone but isn’t too bright? preferably drugstore but open to other options if needed. thanks!
