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".
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.
One thing those pictures did teach me is the value of undereye concealer.
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.
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.
Hmmm. I may have to give that a shot, then. I'm pretty sure they carry it at Neimans. Maybe they can slap some on me and let me walk around for a day before I commit.
I don't remember when I started wearing makeup -- 16? there were no rules that I remember, but I had to keep it light. my father hated nail polish, so I only wore it to bug him. He also hated pierced ears and didn't want us to do it. So I think I did it my first month at collage. Now, no make up and rarely wear earing and only toe polish.
Kristen, the YSL didn't work for me, but Time Balm by The Balm is GREAT for a concealer. Although it's heavy, application with a light touch in the right places means I don't have to wear any other makeup.
Am I the only one who thought Kate Moss looked better without make-up?
Nope. That wasn't even a good no-makeup picture of her. Jessica Simpson, as mention, also improved without it.
