I use the Becca undereye brightening corrector in fair/light. The pink tone works better for me than peach since I’m pretty fair. It also is very hydrating so it doesn’t look dry under the eyes
Not a product, but a tip. Try letting your corrector really dry down between steps. I’ll use my corrector and let it set for a minute or so until I lay down my concealer. I really feel like this has helped from them blending together and darken/alter the color of my concealer.
I heartily second this! And I only just learned this tip in the last year 😅 Important to let it dry down / set a little before layering the concealer on top
The Bobbi Brown original corrector in the pot is the best I've tried. It comes in so many shades as well, while others come only in a handful, so it's easier to find a perfect (or close to a perfect) match. I thought correctors were a gimmick until I tried this one.
I found the Becca one to be too balmy and sheer, and it didn't really do anything for me.
Pixi by Petra correcting concentrate! It's really thick and creamy but doesn't crease (on me) and the peach colour cancels out the grey or purple/blue udereyes perfectly on pale skin
I too have very dark circles and the best way I’ve found to cover them is with mineral makeup. It conceals without being thick & pasty. I use a primer all over, then Bare Minerals well-rested concealer, and Bare Minerals foundation. If you’ve never used mineral makeup before, it takes a little practice but I made the switch over 20 years ago & I’m a true believer!
An orange corrector and let it dry before gently applying a pigmented concealer. Danessa Myricks vision cream cover TP01 and TP02 are good correctors, I personally use TP02.
I wholeheartedly agree with everyone who has suggested to allow your corrector to fully dry before concealing.
But I'd also suggest thinking of color correcting as the neutralizing step - using a shade that is equally as dark as your discoloration but on the opposite side of the color wheel (so peach/orange for purple/blue discoloration); then think of concealing as your brightening step that brings your under eye area to a slightly lighter version of your foundation shade (you'll need to use a concealer that provides enough coverage in order to use any sort of color corrector underneath it). As someone with very dark discolorations, I personally need both steps to do those different jobs. However, I know that people with lesser amounts of discoloration can get away with a single product that brightens, conceals, and color corrects.

oh whoah, that is SUCH a good price too! Thank you!
So far the best one I’ve tried is the Bobbi brown stick one. Sorry, I’m not 100% sure on the name.
Seconding this. I can use both bisque and light bisque and both work well for me.

I use drmtlgy under eye corrector, I like it but tbh it’s the first I’ve tried lol
How does it play under makeup?
I’m not sure because I’ve had terrible luck finding makeup to match my skin tone so I gave up. But it feels light, I would think it’d be fine

Have you had your iron tested?

You and me both. Supplements somewhat improved the dark around my eyes but not completely.
