terri1020 Posted September 14, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Shopping for Oct. 20 cruise. I have dark circles and I'm looking for suggestions for a great eye cover up. I had been using Max Factor Pan-Stik, which was wonderful, but I can't find it anymore. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedQueen77 Posted September 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I use Lancome Flash Retouche. It has that nifty little brush at the top and you just click the end a few times to bring the product through. I find that it's so much easier to use the right amount with it; it doesn't look too cakey or dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri1020 Posted September 14, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted September 14, 2007 How well does it cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madge57 Posted September 14, 2007 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I use Bare Minerals Well Rested!! Its a powder. sometimes I just use it and not the foundation and it looks like I have been up for hours and no dark circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri1020 Posted September 14, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Is Bare Minerals a brand name and where can I find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 14, 2007 #6 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Go to Nordstrom.com and they have a pink pencil that doesn't only "cover" dark circles, it reflects light and really makes a difference! (I'm not at home to see the brand, but I'll try to get back to you later!) It's the best purchase I've ever made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let us know the brand -- I saw something like that on one of those "makeover" shows and I think it would really work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted September 14, 2007 #8 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I love the Stila Illuminating Concealer. It not only covers, but slightly illuminates the eye area. (great for photo's!) I write a beauty column and for my June bridal issue, I was comparing concealers and I tried about 6 and everyday would wear a different one on each eye and ask friends/associates which one looked best and the Stila got the highest votes. Of course, that doesn't mean it's best for you, but it's worth checking out, IMHO. Also, many make-up artists suggest wearing the concealer on top of the foundation. I don't always agree, but again, it's worth experimenting with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusqueen Posted September 14, 2007 #9 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I also use the Bare Minerals Well Rested lightly both under the eyes and on the lids..really brightens them up and lives up to its name (I have pretty bad hereditary dark circles). I like it because its virtualy "goof proof" to use and doesn't look like a concealer (some of them can be tricky to use and get natural results). I buy my Bare Minerals on QVC.com.

Senoj84 Posted September 14, 2007 #10 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I use Mac Studio finish concealer. I use concealer first under the eye, then foundation and then concealer again. It works wonders. It even covers up this birthmark I have on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakitty Posted September 14, 2007 #11 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I use Everyday Minerals Sunlight. I bet it's similar to Bare Minerals. You can try a free sample of Everyday Minerals for only shipping and handling. In fact, you get 3 Foundations, 1 Blush and 1 Concealer in a sample mini kit. http://www.everydayminerals.com/g?t=kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She realllly piles on the makeup. ;) I think alot of it is the studio lights....they probably wear alot more makeup on air. But yes, she does wear quite a bit.....and I am at the total opposite end.....I wear no face make up at all.;) I wear more make in the evenings on my cruises than I ever do here at home. For work.....eye shadow and mascara......thats it. Cruises (evenings).....shadow (and more of it LOL), mascara, blush and lipstick. But I still don't put foundation on......just don't like the feeling of anything on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dihead Posted September 15, 2007 #22 Share Posted September 15, 2007 i use mary kay concealer.. it doesn't settle into my little undereye wrinkles, stays all day, covers dark circles and is waterproof.. *love* it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that it's so much easier to use the right amount with it; it doesn't look too cakey or dark. How well does it cover? Sorry I missed this! It covers pretty well, or at least I think so! I got my Clinique bonus bag in the mail last week. They had a sample of "All About Eyes", a cream for circles, bags, and lines. I've been using it and it seems to have lightened up my circles quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 16, 2007 #24 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Ok, the pink "concealer" is by Trish McEnvoy. It's a brightening pencil in pink. Apply after your foundation to the dark circles and "voila"--they are no longer noticable!!!! It's amazing. The pink reflects light, so you don't have to have a thick mass of make-up under your eyes! Nordstrom.com has it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JolieMadam Posted September 17, 2007 #25 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've been wondering how great the Touche Eclat would be so appreciate all the advice. Can anyone tell me where to buy it....have to get a good match to the skin and that means going into a store to test it. Someone else told me YSL lipstick is fabulous. Thanks in advance!
