Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer in Light Golden has been my go-to for years. Maximum coverage while looking natural. The product is super pigmented so a little goes a long way! I usually apply a tiny dot sized amount and blend it out with my ring finger.
Currently using the cover fx pencil, but always up for alternatives. Why that? Embarrassed answer: bec it was new to me and the shade was likely to match.
Hands down – Marc Jacobs Re(Marc)able Full Cover Concealer. It’s creamy, covers easily and completely without caking, flaking, or fading. It causes no irritation, dryness, or oiliness. It’s my HG.
Cle de Peau concealer – works really well to cover redness without being thick or cakey.
Ditto this — it’s expensive but one stick is likely to last me for years.
NARS RCC, I only have two concealers right now if you can believe it. My Armani’s gone AWOL.
NARS (applicator and formula is better for spot treatments) in Vanilla; and, for broader areas MUFE Full Color Camouflage Cream (the label on what color it is has worn off; it’s one of the most fair, warmer ones). I like both very much.
I second MUFE Full Cover. I like Kevyn Aucoin a lot too. 🙂
I Do not use concealer for that, I Prefer foundation.
Only one thing works for me – Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. But I still need to set it with powder because with the humidity here in Manila, it just wont hold on. I have the Nyx concealer pencil in my purse for touch-ups.
Most concealers don’t like to stick to my skin. I have the best luck with the Derma-Blend Quick Fix stick concealer or e.l.f. Maximum Coverage Concealer – Oil Free.
Although I am now of the age where I don’t get blemishes (thank God), I still use a concealer occasionally. The one I have is a Chanel number and it is in my shade. It works fine for under the eye whenever I need it.
I have no luck covering blemishes but I do like the Stila color correcting set for general discoloration correction and red areas that have healed. It is also goo for the red indentation around the nose.
Cle de Peau’s concealer. It’s just so dang natural looking.
Bare Minerals loose mineral concealer – I’m not kidding this stays on ALL day n all night and dries out those shined pimples that nothing sticks to -this does so quick! Been using it for years!
Side note: I saw a naturopathic doc n she recommended cold pressed castor oil rubbed into cystic acne-let me tell you that was scary but it works and every friend I’ve told that needed it agrees!
I like the Double Wear formula a lot.
I absolutely swear by the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer. The coverage is amazing and you need so little product. So even though the pot looks small, don’t be fooled, it will last you forever! Plus it comes in a whole range of shades. ?
My MAC Studio finish concealer NW20 does great job to cover my imperfections.
I love the CoverFx Blemish Treatment concealer. Good coverage, great shade range, and actually sticks to my skin and wears well! I would only use for blemishes, not under-eye.
