What concealer would you recommend?

I am looking for a good concealer for both my undereye circles (they're genetic -_-) and for my pimples. I have already tried Covergirl Invisible concealer and it doesn't work for meWhat concealer would you recommend?
I'm using Laura Mercier's Flawless Face line. It is pricey, but I guarantee you will absolutely love the results. I know you are just looking for concealer, but I'll give you a link to her fabulous line.

Sephora has some kits that you can try. They are a great value too. Try them to see if you like her products.





I recommend these foundations and concealers:





Foundation:





Tinted Moisturizer

I use the Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20. The Tinted Moisturizer (first link) also has SPF 20 but the one I use (third link) has a hint of shimmering color. The second one is oil free. Use that if you have oily skin. Tinted Moisturizer can be used as foundation. If you feel you need more coverage, you can also use powder or liquid foundation too. I personally like liquid foundations better because they are easier to blend. Don't worry about feeling cakey, her products are lightweight.

Moisturizing Foundation

Concealer:





Secret Camouflage

Secret Concealer

I use the Secret Camouflage because it has 2 shades. Secret Concealer was made specifically for sensitive areas around the eyes. Use this if you have dark circles or discoloration around the eye.





Let me briefly describe to you the other products in her line.





Step 1 is to prep the skin with foundation primer. Foundation primer will keep your foundation on all day so you don't need to keep re-applying throughout the day. She has 3 different primers. If you have oily skin, use the oil free primer. For normal, dry, or aging skin, use the hydrating primer. For combination skin, use the (normal) foundation primer (it is just called Foundation Primer). There is also a powder formula too, it's called Mineral Powder.





Step 2 is foundation and step 3 is concealer. I gave you information about that already.





Step 4 is setting powder. I don't use setting powder because I use foundation primer. You can use either. She has 3 types of setting powders. Loose Setting Powder, Mineral Finishing Powder, and Pressed Powder.





Step 5 isn't really a ';step.'; It's just if you need extra help. I don't use any of these products either. Here is a brief description of the products.





Undercover Pot - This innovative, travel-friendly pot combines Secret Camouflage, Secret Concealer, and Translucent Loose Setting Powder into one convenient package for quick touch-ups anywhere.





Secret Brightener - Try this highlighter under Secret Concealer, or by itself, to highlight and brighten dark areas on the face or under the eyes.





Secret Brightening Powder - This lighter-than-air powder offers an instant lightening boost when used to set Secret Brightener, Secret Camouflage, and Secret Concealer.





Secret Finish - Use this ultralight lotion to magically restore radiance and refresh your makeup.





You can read more about her products at the first link I gave you.





Bare Escentuals is also really good too, from what I've heard. I have never tried it though. Here's a link:

Remember to use products that address your specific skin type for example, if you have oily skin, use oil free products. If you don't know what type of skin you have, don't hesitate to ask. Hope this helps =)What concealer would you recommend?
