Will pressed powder cover up dark circles?

I currently use Bare Escentuals Multi Tasking Minerals, but I don't like it as much. Can Cover Girl Advanced Radiance Pressed Powder be used as a concealer for my dark circles? Thanks!

    No, it won't cover very well at all. You need concealer for that.

    Most likely if you pile powder on dark circles or even blemishes it will look really cakey. Try using a concealer and then setting it with some powder. Peach colored concealers are ideal for covering up the dark blue under eye circles. I prefer the L'oreal True Match concealer (although it is not peach because there seems to be no peach covered concealers at the drugstore :(, but it still works.) And their powder is amazing! It's almost like a powder foundation. Their foundation is good as well. So if you want a flawless looking face try the L'oreal True Match foundation, concealer and powder. Their inexpensive but good quality.

    No, you have to use a concealer, but you can use the powder on top of the concealer to set it.

    If you try using the powder as a concealer you will see it doenst give enough coverage.

    I would highly suggest a concealer instead of a powder. with the power it will not give the look you may be trying to achieve.

    Use concealer then put skintone colored powder to set it in place.

    concealer is the best for covering up dark cirlces. I think your talking about dark circles under your eyes, if you are i have the same thing and i use mac concealer and it works!! you can't even see my dark circles. I can wear purple eyeshadow without looking like someone punched me in the face. its greaat. :)
