Was home sick since 2 pm yesterday
Oh, ugh, I hate that kind of sick. It is very yucky.
Sadly, I have no idea what people do to conceal their under-eyes.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Hell yes. Give me a professional makeup artist, stylist, fancy clothes, photographer and someone touching up my pictures in Photoshop?
Yep. Hell, I know what I can achieve doing my own makeup and having Pete take the photo then work Photoshop magic on it.
One thing those pictures did teach me is the value of undereye concealer.
Undereye concealer is the reason I look awake, most of the time.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So I'm watching Cash Cab and thinking, when it come to a mobile "shout out" I wish it were possible to, instead of contact a single person, how much more helpful it would be to tap into the buffista hivemind. 'Cause I'm sitting here thinking, "billytea would know that!" "Jessica could totally give me the answer to that!" "Music question! Where's Hec!?!" (though actually I think I have his number).

So what is the best undereye/regular concealer,
So far I've had the best luck with Nyx Cosmetics concealer, topped with a few dabs of YSL Touche Eclat. Be warned the YSL stuff is pricey. But, there's a reason that a bunch of us call it "sleep in a clicky tube".

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
So what is the best undereye/regular concealer,
I've not gone the concealer (I don't wear foundation or powder, either) route, but the Body Shop Vitamin E Eye Cream is brilliant and has helped reduce the dark spots under my eyes.

I feel like I've spent my entire adult life in search of the perfect undereye concealer. I always have that bruised raccoon look going on.

NYX + YSL. Seriously.People can't tell that I'm recovering from the flu thanks to that combo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I kind of like how I look with circles under my eyes, but I think it's because I'm lucky enough to not get puffy. My eyes just look extra sunken and blue-rimmed. Which doesn't bother me--on the contrary it fascinates me.

My problem is that I don't, as a rule, wear makeup. Even when I wear "makeup," I only wear tinted moisturizer or sunscreen as my base, which makes the concealer less of a conceal and more of a highlight.
Though, if I could find a foundation I don't hate, I might give your recommended products a whirl for meetings.
ETA: It does amuse me that I fought so much with my mother during my childhood/teenaged years because I wanted to wear makeup. Then, as soon as I hit adulthood, I pretty much stopped wearing it completely.

Then honestly, try just the YSL stuff. It blends in so well that it doesn't look like you're wearing "makeup". You just look well-rested.
