What's your favorite concealer finish?
Ohh, that’s tough! For drier areas, I like something thinner and a little luminous, but for coverage, I prefer semi-matte.

The only concealer I use is Lancome Effacernes, which I think is a matte finish.
I only use concealer under my eyes for dark circles (if I’ve got too much on my brush, I’ll swipe it around the base of my nose, where I have redness) so I would like something that truly is “radiant, creamy” (the false promises made by NARS concealer). I like something slightly luminous, long-wearing that won’t crease but that also doesn’t go “Dead Man’s Gulch” dry and scaly looking. Basically, I’d like the impossible!
Mariella, I have just read your reply from last Friday – it’s good to know that little Plum is progressing well and mum and dad are borth healing from their ordeal. Yep, babies will do that – sleep all day and be awake all night. David, our eldest, had this down to a fine art.
Re the cookies, I did read the back story to it and it is an interesting one. I used both milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips in the mix – the whole 70+ of them disappeared within a week or so – they were that popular.
Best wishes for your cottage visit and take care with your knee too.
Medium to full coverage because I have problematic skin that needs good coverage. But, as for finish; a slightly dewy matte one that is hydrating and smoothing.
Natural and opaque. I mainly use concealer on blemishes or when my rosacea is especially red.
I always used some kind of concealer, because l have always had very dark circles under my eyes (hereditary). I began with stick concealers, but soon realized that that pull the skin, and are hard to blend. So then l began using wand concealers from drugstores. Then, it was Tarte Shape Tape. I loved the formula, but the spong applicator was a little too large for me. It took time to learn to use it. Then came Tarte Shape Tape Creamy, which was also great. Currently, since l have both formulas, l mix and wear both-Creamy first, then the Original. I am curious to see if there’s any better concealers out there, because l need super coverage!
Try the new Huda Beauty concealer! It’s great!
I’m not a concealer woman but I do have a Wet n Wild one that seems just fine the few times I dab it on. I think it’s photo something? I do like it. Seems creamy and covers but not heavy. Win Win !
I am lucky enough not to need a concealer at the moment, but if I did, it would be a semi matte finish because a true matte finish could end up making my undereye area look quite dry and cakey.
I like thinner slightly luminous finishes best. I’m desperately searching for replacement for Tatcha Pearl illuminating.. (shade: moonlight) It has become my ride or die and I have so little left. I use it everywhere: under eyes, around nose, corners of mouth, It’s so fantastic on aging skin because it doesn’t settle into lines and it gives just light coverage.. and it’s discontinued. I thought this product had a loyal following..
