What kind of under eye concealer do you use? I've got dark circles that are driving me crazy. I bought one by Origins. $15 ouch! It helps but I thought I'd ask and maybe find a better one. Thanks!

I am looking for good concealer and foundation too.  It would be a great question to email Matia or ask at the next support group.  One person mentioned using MAC.  Clinique has great colors too.  We really need more choices when it come to concealer and foundation.  I have been using Maybelline but they do not have a good color selction.

I am looking too! I am using Paula's choice sunscreen and makeup with sunscreen. She has GREAT stuff and very good for sensitive skin, but I know with IC even stuff like that can be bad... I use clinique airbruch concealer when I need to cover dark circles or blemish, and it works so good, last forever and I love it! But I don't know if it is good....

I have to work on Friday but as I'm in Texas the two hour time diff is in my favor. I hope to make at least part of it. I'm curious about Clinique. I know Origins is on the gentle guide list. BTW Hopeful - I saw your question about kale. When I've eaten veggies (the ones w/out sugar) that are on a higher list but don't bother me, Matia has told me OK.The list is just a template that she's compiled from years of patients impute. It would be a great question for the conference call.

Hey thanks... I am wondering about all kinds of food ( mostly veggies and avocado) that never seemed to bother me... but I am seeing Matia on Feb 12th! I am excited, maybe if it works out for later in the day, I can be part of the call too. I really don't want to miss one. But since I will be seeing Matia earlier that day, and my mom is coming with me to LA, I guess it depends on what she wants to do too. I would love to know that the makeup I am using is not causing more problems.

Search "gabriel color" or "make-up" and you'll find a couple of great post by Matia on the subject. I use Gabriel color foundation and concealer and LOVE it!

As far as the colors go... are there any suggestions since you have to order... I have fair skin, but from those who have used it... what do you think? I was worried that the lightest color would be too light?Also, I noticed it doesn't have an "active" ingredient for sunscreen, and in all my research this needs to be there for you to be getting the broad UVB/UVA protection. Do people who use this notice it really is good in the sun too?:) Thanks

http://www.whiterabbitbeauty.com/cosmetics.htmlThis is the site I order it from, they can send you a few trial sizes. I have light skin too and ended up using natural beige. You should really try a couple of colors first.
