I have been in love with Mac’s Pro Longwear concealer for about two years now. I’ve tried many other concealers, but nothing is as good as it.
Is it crazy that I like my Chanel concealer and Maybelline fit me equally?
I really want to try Shape Tape but I’m trying to resist the hype, lol!
My favorite is Nars RCC, it does the best job covering my adult acne. I also like to use it under eyes and it doesn’t crack or crease. Lovely stuff.
I am a fan of Tarte Shape Tape. I wish there was one color just slightly lighter than the current lightest shade but I add a little of the KVD white concealer and that helps. There is a learning curve to using it though. You need just the smallest amount.
I hear so much about the Tarte and KVD ones, I’m definitely gonna have to try them some day.
I’m a fan of Bobbi Brown’s Intensive Serum Concealer and Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Eye Wand. When I have worn Dior’s Airflash foundation, I really liked the matching Dior concealer (but didn’t seem to work with other foundations).
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla 2.
Iv been wearing and loving Kat von d’s lock it concealer creme for months now! I also have and like NARS radiant creamy!
The Kat Von D one is definitely on my list to try! (once I run out of one of the few I already have as I can’t keep tons around) and the NARS one is my go-to.
I like the KVD concealer a lot, but it’s worth noting that it is FULL coverage and can be a bit drying (or at least on me it is). If you work with it and only apply a little it’s gorgeous, and lasts allllllllll day!
I have oily skin, so I don’t find it drying. But I can totally see dryer skins than mine finding it drying!!
But yes!! Everything that Kat said! It’s very full coverage. I do three dots of it under my eyes, and that works!!!
Armani Maestro concealer, definitely
Is IT BBU considered a “liquid” (I think of it more as a cream, as it’s rather thick). So, if it’s liquid, I’d vote for it but even better is Clarins concealer (the one in the squeeze tube). I just love it. Also Cargo Blu-ray, which I think would also count as “liquid”.
The one I have repurchased several times already is the Maybelline Fit Me one. Not perfect, but a great concealer for the price.
Maybelline Fit Me!
As we get older the area under the eye becomes very thin and fragile and even if it isn’t very wrinkled it will appear very wrinkled with the wrong products. There are many good concealers that don’t work for me because they are too dense and will pull on my under eye area and will cake and crease. I haven’t tried them all because it is too expensive but I had heard very good things about Sisley Paris eye concealer and I use number 2 which is a peachy beige which helps camouflage the darkness under eyes. I only use very little too much will crease also.
My favorite so far has been the one by Clarins. Good coverage but absolutely not cakey, and lasts pretty well.
I absolutely love the NARS Radiant Creamy Foundation and have it in two shades (one fr brightening, one for covering blemishes and redness and such), and also quite like the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer (their correctors of the same formula are excellent!)
Tarte Shape Tape, hands down! Just MAGICAL.
NARS RCC, the pen one from Chanel, and the newer Bare Minerals Serum Concealer.
Has anybody used Origins “Quick Hide” concealer and could comment? I was considering it. I’m kind of new to concealers.
I’ve been through probably almost a dozen Maybelline Age Rewinds. It’s so creamy, blends well, and doesn’t crease too badly (I’ve yet to encounter something that doesn’t crease at all). I also adore the Sephora Collection Gel Serum Concealer. It seems to be a love it or hate it product and I love it! It leaves very little texture on the skin (doesn’t emphasize my budding lines) and has about a zillion and a half shades. It’s one of the very few concealers with a shade light enough for me to highlight with. The flipside of the lightweight texture is that it’s more of a medium coverage than full, but I’d rather have a good texture with less coverage than a full coverage, cakey concealer. I know a lot of people with mature skin really love that one. The color-corrector version of that concealer is great too, and that’s where the medium coverage is a huge boon, because it’s easier to build up rather than go 0-100 all at once.
I’m still in the process of finding one that I would buy a full-sized of. A contender for it is KVD Lock-it Concealer, as I can use it in the undereye area without needing to set it with powder. But because I have a tendency to use a lighter shade there, it wouldn’t really work for covering breakouts or red spots from lupus. For that purpose, I do love Nyx Gotcha Covered.
I second that- Tarte Tape Concealer and the Nars Concealer. Also the MAC one in the glass bottle is a really good one.
KVD Lock-it Concealer Creme. I love how it does not really settle into my many fine lines under my eyes, and it works with my super dry skin. So pigmented – covers my purple dark circles really really well! Love it!
Heard Shapetape is like MAC Prolongwear but without as many shades so I’ll stick with my Prolongwear along w/ Nars Radiant Creamy and Smashbox Waterproof concealor.
I’m pretty new to concealers as well and I purchased the color correcting pink Urban Decay Naked concealer for circles under the eyes. I liked it because it is not tacky to touch or thick like the concealer I sampled between my fingers at Sephora — Lancôme Teint Idole Ultrawear Camouflage Concealer; I disliked the color correcting concealer from Lancôme for same reason.. I also purchased the Urban Decay Naked Light Warm shade concealer for broken capillaries by my nose. That product works well at hiding them before I apply my powder foundation. The thinner liquid works best for me.
UD Naked, BY FAR. Surprised no one else has said it.
I just don’t get the hype for the shape tape — it’s so matte!
Maybelline Age Rewind. It’s perfect for under the eyes and brightens without being too harsh. Creases less than other liquid concealers I’ve tried.
MAC Pro Long Wear, Tarte Shape Tape, and LA Girl Pro Concealer.
MAC Pro Longwear
Sephora Collection Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer for face; e.l.f. HD Lifting Concealer in Brightening for undereyes (which I just found out has been discontinued 🙁 ).
