My skin color is very pale -- neutral to cool toned pale. Right now I'm wearing shade #2 of Tarte Smooth Operator. Yep -- pretty close to Vampire White
Since in everything I've seen I'm at the end of the color scale, I can't really go lighter to for undereye cover. Do I go white? And then use Tarte over it?
I don't have dark circles -- I'm really trying to mask some puffiness....
I don't really think you can mask puffiness. If its puffy, and you put a lighter color on it, you are drawing more attention and making it stand out even more. Maybe what you're looking for is a good eye cream that will help reduce the puffiness. Or maybe, if you don't have dark circles to deal with, you should even go one shade darker under the eyes. Remember, light brings out, dark recedes.

I've been using a caffeine cream for puffiness.
What I've been reading and seeing online is that you use an illuminating concealer under the puff to decrease the puff's shadow and take it toward your nose -- don't go up under your eye. It makes sense to me, but finding a light enough color is my problem.
I'm not a fan of Bobbi Brown stuff but she has a porcelain shade that might work -- if it's not too yellow.
And it's weird -- I told my husband about this today and he said to look at myself. We were in the car, I was wearing no makeup -- no puff, no dark circles... I think it might be the rotten fluorescent lighting in my bathroom.
Those caffeine things make it worse in the long run. Use pure aloe gel that is kept cool in the fridge or a plant.
If its allergies try some visine allergy eye drops too. Those chilled masks are also good.
NYX makes a concealer that is light enough. Its called porcelain and its like the drugstore knock of of MAC.

Thanks! And Ole Henriksen -- no soy -- goody for me!
