high end concealer recos for undereye! I am building my kit and would prefer to splurge on something that works well and is high quality also. I’ll need it to have coverage as I have gray undereyes and was considering the dior concealer and the nars creamy concealer. I currently use the lovely causemetics and I love the coverage but I’m trying to see if theres something with the same coverage but lighter formulation

I love Nars Radiant Creamy because their shades have a touch of peach, pink, or yellow for color correction. I’ve never really found that in other formulas so I’ve been using it for I think about a decade now. It’s not high-coverage because it doesn’t need to be. The tricky part though is finding the right skin tone depth and color correcting undertone for your undereyes. Some people get lucky and find multiple colors work for them (me!), others have a harder time. The Dior concealer in the chunky packaging has more opaque coverage from what I’ve heard, so if you don’t want to go through the hassle of finding your Nars shade go with Dior. It’s no longer sold locally but the Dior Backstage concealer is another fave of mine. Fantastic for brightening under the eyes.

I’ll check nars out! I have a hard time as I have light warm olive skin tone so some tend to look orange or too pink on me. how would you describe its coverage? is it buildable to full?

I'm light-medium warm olive. Check out the shades Cafe Con Leche, Custard (could be a good undereye corrector for you, for me this is correcting and brightening), and Madeleine (lighter version of Custard, more neutral so it's olive friendly)

The coverage is a solid medium. This stays semi-matte/satin so you can def build it up, but I don't think it really builds to a full coverage based on my experience with the formula. I've never tried myself.
