Well I have really huge black circles under my eyes..I dont have bags..but its just really dark. Ive tried so many concealer products..but every single one is either to cakey and just looks very fake.

I realized a pink shade of concealer looks horrible on me and turns my dark circles red.

I think yellow looks alright..but every single yellow concealer I've tried looks way to piled on and very thick even if I use a small amount

I've tried bare minerals..but it didn't work much.

Are their any concealers you would recommend? I kinda want a tablet..instead of a powder or liquid.

Have you tried a peach concealer? Peach calms blue, pink calms gray. Also if you have one you like but it's too cakey, apply first, and then with a kleenex, blot the concealer before you apply your foundation and/or powder. You may need to apply more concealer with this method, but it takes the oils/waxes out of the product so it doesn't crease. We do this on photo shoots all the time, specially if it's a long day. Trick works great with foundation too.

i use benefit boi-ing in medium for my undereye concealer.

its thick, but you dont need a lot and if you blend it out you can make it look natural.

For my eye area, I've been using Neutrogena's 3-in-1 Undereye Concealer. I just paint a little over my eye lid, over my brow bone, and underneath my eye and it really even out my skin tone, covers the blue veins in my eyelid, and any darkness underneath my eyes. Plus, because of the texture, it kinda works like a base for my eyeshadows. Half the time, I don't even use my UDPP anymore.

I've been using TheBalm Concealer too for about a month or so. It does an awesome job and I have horrid dark circles. I use medium and it has just enough yellow to cover the blue. It has actually replaced my much pricier HG which was Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer. TheBalm is $24 cheaper.

have you try TEMPTU concealer wheel? a makeup artist on youtube (Koren?) recommended this concealer to me and it's by far the best concealer i've ever use. it's moisturizing enough to use for undereyes and you can mix your own color to match with your natural skin tone. hth!

A yellow based concealer i use for my under eyes is the Bobbi Brown cream concealer (I think it's called). It's specially for the under eye area, and it really works for me, and doesn't look cakey at all.

when applying makeup on someone, I use Eve Pearl's Concealer Wheel. It's a salmon color based concealer that works well on everyone I've ever used it on.

The best undereye concealor I have used it Clinique All About Eyes. First I must say I am not a Clinique fan but this product is awesome. I have in the past used salmon and yellow concealors and they were allright but this is waaaaayyyy better. It is just a skin colored concealor it comes in like light med. and dark I think. The formulations is pretty thin so it is not cakey at all. Definately worth a try.

I'm in the same boat. I have now developed an aversion to concealer for under my eyes (but lord how I need it, I am also cursed with dark circles).

I recently gave up with concealers after I tried the MAC concealer everyone raved about. It would cake up (because not only do I have dark circles, I also have some tiny bumps under my eyes... what the hell are they? Like clogged under eye pores), so my concealer always looks cakey under my eyes no matter what.

Now I just use my foundation as my concelear for under eye circles. I just dot on my foundation under my eyes, let it sit for like 3 minutes, then blend it in, maybe a apply a tad more but don’t let it sit the second time arond. I figure I can't escape under eye concealer looking like crap on me, so why spend extra money, when I can use my foundation to save money and still have the same outcome as actual concealer would give me.... screw it.
