How to conceal those dark circles under the eyes

While some (“none”) of us love the look of dark circles under our eyes, probably most of us don’t.

And despite employing the use of eye creams and massage techniques and forest gypsies, those purpley-blue circles remain there, making us look far more fatigued and ragged than we actually are, and fooling everyone into thinking we are twenty years older than our passport would suggest.

So… conceal them, you gorgeous dunce! And conceal them PROPERLY, using the magic step so many of us neglect… corrector.

Are there cheaper versions of these products (that do the same thing)??

Maybelline have a corrector/concealer that costs less than $20. It looks like a lipstick, and comes in both yellow (for the bluey circles) and green (for red circles). I found it at Coles! http://www.maybelline.com.a...

I've used the yellow one before, and it's too pale to wear on it's own so I used concealer over it. The result is the same, it's just not as creamy as the Napoleon Perdis one that Zoe used.
