There's nothing worse than pesky bags under your eyes, which is why I'm always on the hunt for a good concealer that hides my lack of sleep.
I've tried so many different concealers in the past, with all of them giving different results. I've come to realise that I really like using lighter concealers to brighten up my under eye area, and I love a full coverage too.
The only problem is, with full coverage there's a big risk of under eye creasing - which is basically my biggest pet peeve. I've often come home from a day at work and been disappointed by the amount of lines under my eyes from makeup that's sunk into my fine lines.

Concealers can really differ in price, but I've found a £5 concealer in Boots that I'm never going to stop buying. I'd go as far to say it's way better than the NARS 'Radiant Creamy Concealer' that I've forked out £26 in the past.
So, what's the brand? Once again Collection has seriously impressed me with another product, which comes as no surprise after how amazed I was with its foundation.
The product description reads: "The ultimate Lasting Perfection Blemish Concealer infused with 5% niacinamide. This long-lasting, miracle-working concealer helps cover and conceal whilst fighting those nasty blemishes.
"It soothes and softens the appearance of visible pores, uneven skin tones and fine lines. This flawless vegan concealer is suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or rosacea-prone skin. With up to 16 hours of waterproof coverage, Lasting Perfection Blemish Concealer keeps your complexion perfectly put and flawless all day long.
"Niacinamide is a moisturising, restorative skincare ingredient that prevents pores becoming clogged and enlarged whilst keeping the skin hydrated. Preventing blocked pores will also help even skin tones and skin textures. Smudge proof, budge proof & transfer proof."
That's a lot of words, but all I can say is that I totally vouch for all of them. Although this concealer is specifically designed for covering blemishes, I've found that it works absolutely perfectly under the eye.
I'm not sure if its the addition of the niacinamide that makes my eyes look really refreshed and awake, or the fact that I always chose the lightest shade, but it's basically magic in a tube. I always choose for the shade '2 Porcelain' which is very light, but there's plenty of other shade ranges available for different skin tones.
I absolutely love how thick this concealer is, without looking cakey or creasing under my eye. It manages to brighten up my whole face without looking too much, and feels really soft on my sensitive under eye area too.
It works amazingly well with the Collection Lasting Perfection Sheer Loose Powder Translucent for £2.99 - which is another bargain in my opinion. The two products work together like a dream, and give me bright, awake looking eyes for a very decent price.
This is by far the best concealer I've ever used, and it's also the cheapest. Funnily enough, when I was younger I used to use this concealer, and I've recently rediscovered it.
I'm so glad I did, because I'll never use another concealer again. Shoppers can purchase the Collection Lasting Perfection Blemish Concealer for £4.99 here.
