I would go to the YSL counter, put some on and wear it around for a while first. It didn't do jack for me but I have horrible circles and it straight up says it won't fix really horrible circles.

If you find something that really does work, let me know. I feel like I have tried everything in the free world.

Revlon makes a cream concealer (its distribution seems to be getting more limited as they're pushing this stupid new mineral stuff) called New Complexion that is 2 shades in a circular container. It works better than anything I've tried and isn't too heavy and blends really well.

They also made one called Colorstay that was a liquid in a wand, but they redid their line and now it's 2 different ones - I haven't tried the new one so I don't know if it's any good or not.

I use both at different times, depending on whether I'm wearing liquid or powder foundation.

I know you will feel me on this one, that as we (ahem) age we can't use the Maybelline Cover Stick anymore because that skin isn't as hearty as it used to be.


If neither of those works for you, find a place that carries theatrical makeup and look at the stuff from Ben Nye - I've heard some makeup artists swear by it.

THANKS, 33!! This gives me some new things to try. And yes, I do know what you mean about the Maybelline Cover Stick.

Does anyone have any suggestions for eye make up remover that will remove regular and waterproof make up (that isnt baby oil)?

I am in love with the Nivea Visage Eye Make-up Remover, it is a cream that comes in a small light blue tube. I only wear waterproof mascara and it's the best for me. I used it for years when wearing contacts and now, after I've had Lasik surgery, I still use it and it's never bothered my eyes once. It's just hard to find! I used to get it at CVS and I'm having trouble locating it. In the meantime, I've found the Nutrogena Ultra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover pads to be quite good.

Honestly, Mary Kay's Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover works really well.

I had retina detachment surgery in early September and have not been able to wear eye makeup since. I can use eye cream and besides my usual by Ulta I just bought the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew anti-puff eye roller. Has anyone else tried it? Anyhow, I am so looking forward to sometime in January or so when I can use eye makep again, but now I think that I will have to throw out most of what I have & get all new stuff that's non-allergenic like Almay, Physician's Formula and Neutrogena.

I just bought new L'Oreal base, concealer, blush and lipstick. If I can't use make-up on my eyes I at least have to make sure that the rest of my face looks good!
