This is a great story...I use the Tarte Maracuja Waterproof Concealer under my eyes, and it is the first product I have ever tried that actually covered my dark circles and stayed put all day...

Excellent article! Several of the products mentioned are very inexpensive . . . but I recommend - and for me, it is the Gold Standard of Inexpensive Concealers - Maybelline's Age Rewind. Fabulous. The only one that works for me!

I am pale and suffer from the dark circles as well! Concealer really is the only way to go.

If you have circles like mine, which are caused from having skin so pale that you can see the veins under my eyes, a treatment is a waste of money. Just use concealer and save your money.

I also have genetic dark circles, and I have tried everything, but nothing has worked so far, not even concealer, because it looks terrible and fake, (sigh) maybe one day we will find an awesome concealer that works.
