Hiding the shadows around the eyes

A couple of times I have used Le Touch Eclat (bought as a gift) to try and conceal the shadows that have appeared on the skin at my eyes towards the nose. I didn't feel it was wonderful especially given the price.
Of recent years I've just been going with the flow, always wear my makeup but don't bother with any concealer. anywhere.
Recently I've really noticed these shadows and wonder is it worth trying it again, or perhaps a product that one of you lovely ladies could recommend.

Hmmm reading this over I actually feel a little fickle given all the worries of the world.

I’ve had under eye shadows all my life. Spectacles are a great concealer ???

It's not fickle it's how you feel about yourself. If you want to hide your shadows hide them.

Unfortunately I don't wear makeup so don't know anything about it. But someone will help you.

No one can tell you how to feel. You need to feel happy in your skin. Doesn't matter about worries of the world they will always be there. But there are 2 certainties in life we are born we die. The rest we have to life the best life we can.

I do wear spectacles a lot of the time and never thought about them hiding the 'nose' shadows which of course they would. I've been lucky to not have under eye shadows or bags. Though my upper eyelids have fairly dropped..... what can I expect at 73, in fact they're probably casting the shadows grin

Whiff....."But there are 2 certainties in life we are born we die. The rest we have to life the best life we can." So true. A wonderful ethos.

I have quite dark shadows in the corners and under my eyes and the best thing I've found is Maybelline Eraser eye concealer. It's not too expensive but I get it on Amazon where it's quite a bit cheaper than in the shops. There's quite a few shades to choose from.

Thank you Oregano. Maybelline would be more in my price range. I'll take a look on Amazon.

I use Boots No7 concealer stick, less than £10.
