This concealer is great for dark circles! I would go a shade or two lighter than your normal concealer (a lesson I just learned from a MUA friend of mine)

I have terrible dark circles and this stuff did the trick. Put a little powder over to set it, and it lasts all day! I even cried once, and it stayed on!

Try Tarte Maracuja C-Brightener Eye Treatment with Juice Beauty Correcting Concealer

I too have very dark circles. This product has been by far the best I've tried...and I've tried A LOT. The trick is to find the right shade and how you apply it. I normally wear medium but got this in fair. So do not go by what you normally wear...you should really try it out before you buy. Apply it by patting it under your eyes with a finger and blend out with a brush. You do not need a lot. If you want more coverage just keep doing these two steps by applying a touch more concealer. Hope this helps!

I really like this product.!!!! I just put a minimal amount on my ring finger tip and rub my finger tips together to warm product up and gently pat under my eyes and blend until coverage is complete.

It didn't seem to cover well for me, no matter what I did.

I found that this concealer works best if I pat on a little foundation first - I use Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15. Then I put on the concealer and my under eye area is much brighter. Hope this works for you!

i would suggest putting on a little bit blend it well and then put on your foundation. if still not enough coverage after that then put on a little bit more and blend it well b/c you dont want to end up with the opposite of raccoon eyes. if that does work then maybe you need to find another color or brand.

If you apply it with your finger and then blend with a brush...I have found this to work for me and I have very dark circles. You may have the wrong shade. I normally use medium but I had to get this product in fair. Hope this helps.

If I am super tired and the bags under my eyes are extra dark I use a TINY amount, put it on (but using the dabbing technique that tarte recommends is vital) and I build up layers as needed and it lasts all day. People think I actually got rest! :)

Fair is more pink; Light is more yellow. When I blended them out they essentially looked the same to me though.

I feel the undertone is more pink than yellow. Yellow clashes with my skin so I really love this product

I cannot wear anything with too much yellow in it and I found a color that works for me. I felt that this product comes in a good range of shades and tones, so you'll probably be able to find one that works for you!

I think it is because I am half asian so I have skin that looks better with yellow tones rather than pink tones. It looks great on my face so I think it is yellow. Hope this helps!

Not really yellow based i have it in fair. It's more like ivory based

Don't have an answer to this, only a reply that the same thing happened to me (just bought this about a week ago) and I am really disappointed to hear I'm not the only one..I hoped mine was random. I think it is a great product but not worth the price for how low it is filled.

No, I don't remember noticing that, but remember: a VERY little bit goes a LONG way and the tube should last you a VERY long time!

Mine was like that too. Very little product for what you pay for.

I have no issues with mine; however tge product is very tick and you need ro press it hard to get the product out. A very little goes a long way so dont get diacourage by the size; you will love this product each time you apply it.

It's darker than the Tarte Amazonian Clay concealer in Light, but not by much.

Never tried the Smashbox (thanks for the reccommendation!) and I can tell you that I have literally the palest of skin tones. I don't even need to test anything out to know that I will be the lightest shade and even then sometimes it's too dark for me (lol). A worker at Sephora tested this on me in the 'fair' shade (which is the lightest) and it works wonders on my undereye circles and is the perfect color for my skin. :)

I have very fair skin with pink undertones and this is the best match I have ever found. Most concelers have a yellow or orange undertone which clashes with my skin.

I have the light (not sure if it's the lightest shade) and I have a medium complexion. But, you should use a lighter concealer for undereyes. If you are super light complected...I'd say this may be too dark for you.

This product doesn"t really give me a full coverage so I would say no. However for you it might work differently.

Yes the Tarte "Smooth Operator" is wonderful. So is the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer...I use it as a concealor, a little goes a long way and coverage is great

I have Vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of pigment, so my face is as white as it can get. I use the Fair shade and it blends beautifully.

Here is my opinion on all tarte concealers. Tarte dark circle defense is great for under the eyes. Thats all Id use it for. If youve got under eye circles, you want DCD. Tarte amazonian clay stick concealer melts down very fast, super easy to blend out. Dries down to almost a powder finish. I like the stick for pimples, thats all really. Ive got oily breakout prone skin and I find it a bit drying, but I like that for spots/pimples. Tarte maracuja creaseless is a nice all around concealer. Ive never believed that one concealer could do it all well. Quite frankly I think thats expecting too much. If I had to take one concealer with me, say traveling, it would be the maracuja. It is full coverage. Works pretty good for under eyes, not as good as DCD, I sometimes layer the two. I think its nice for scarring, redness, pigmentation issues, I also really like it for pimples when they start to dry out and they have that flaking. The finish on this has a bit of a glow, not shiny. It can easily become matte with a touch of powder to set it. Does it crease? That depends on your skin and what products you use under it. If you use a lightweight eye cream or eye gel under your eye makeup, no it wont crease. If you use a heavy eye cream, all your eye makeup is going to crease or smudge. I find the maracuja concealer healing and moisturizing, but it doesnt make me oilier than I already am. Hope I helped and didnt confuse you.

I just returned the Maracuja tube because the product is too thick and difficult to blend. I purchased the stick instead and love how easy it is to blend. There is a little less coverage with the stick, but still does quite a good job.

I do! I thought that maybe I got a defective product. It's so hard to get out I can't tell if it's the packaging or if the product is dry.

My mom had the same issue. They make it like that to prevent people from squeezing out too much product and wasting it. You really only need a pin dot to a pin head, if youve got a whole lot to cover. Anyway I used a clean pin and pushes it up along through the hole in the tube. Be careful not to poke an extra hole through the tube. Do that until it comes out to your liking. Just be careful when squeezing product out after that.

Is your skin very light? I am olive complexion, but a light olive so I am always in-between shades. I also have a yellow undertone and the medium matched me well. I tried the light, but I felt like it had too much pink in it. If you're hesitant I would recommend the lighter one. It will even out with your foundation.

Hi there. I would usually buy medium shades for concealer and went medium-tan (a shade darker) for this concealer and it was perfect for me.

I haven't tried the 'light' color in this concealer, but I do know that the sales associate tested the foundation on me and actually told me that the 'light' shade is lighter than the 'fair' shade in the foundation! The 'fair' oxidized on my uber-pale skin and made me look like an oompa loompa. I suggest testing it out in stores and finding what matches best with your skin tone.
