AMAZING COSMETICS AMAZING CONCEALER!!!!!!!!!!!
(Yes, caps are totally necessary, it’s that good!)
AGREEED! (caps are also necessary here!)
Seriously – Amazing Concealer is the best. It covers what NO OTHER concealer I’ve tried will cover! Love love love!
I just got Amazing because I’ve never found a good concealer, and the girl at Sephora recommended this. It’s a pretty good match for my skin and covers more than other stuff I’ve tried. But I think there’s something wrong with my technique, since it’s not perfect coverage. Any hints or tips?
Cle de Peau, hands down. It is worth every penny if you have really horrible hereditary circles like I do. Been using it for 5 years and still love it!
MAC studio Finish <3
17 Cosmetics – Hide Away Concealer Cream.
Amazing & so cheap here in the UK too!
definitely dermablend!!
Cle de Peau. I hate the price but it’s better than anything else I’ve ever tried.
I would say Full Cover by Make Up For ever which hides my rednesses on my very pale skin
And as a makeup student I really like the 5 cream concealers palettes (I think it’s pro only) by Make Up Forever too
And the Touche Eclat in shade 2 is great on dark circles when you mix it with concealer
Under my eyes: Laura Mercier corrector, concealer, and setting powder. I’m calling them all concealer because they all go in the same area.
Cle de Peau concealer everywhere else. Acne prone skin and acne scars.
I love Make Up For Ever Full Cover!
Hard Candy Glamoflauge! The only concealer light enough for me and such good coverage. A little goes a long way.
KIKO Full Coverage Concealer!!!
Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer! It comes with one under eye shade and one redness/pimple shade, plus translucent setting power and a mirror, all in a handy little compact and for 10 pounds! I think the brand is coming to Sephora in the US in the future…
For my undereye area:
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Concealer
For concealing blemishes and pimples:
Makeup Forever Full Cover Concealer
The Sensual Skin Enhancer by Kevyn Aucoin!
You really only need the tiniest amount to cover up imperfections. I couldn’t be without it anymore!
This!!!
I second this.It’s the most pigmented concealer I have found.You have to work a little with the formula, but the results it yields are impressive.
i’m seriously obsessed with this stuff. it’s amazing.
MAC studiofinish. I heard the prolongwear is a good one too but ive never tried it.
for me, absolutely, Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer
The color is great with full coverage as its name, it’s opaque and lasts long.
MUFE’s Full Cover… The only one that lasts all day on my combination skin!
Bobbi Brown’s Corrector. Love it for the undereyes! Everywhere else, MAC’s Prolongwear.
That’s what my comment was going to say.
Simply Ageless Concealer (Corrector) by Covergirl (!!!) totally neutralizes my bluish-purple under eye discoloration. It has good pigment, but is nearly undetectable. It’s light-weight and stays put!
I use the Cover FX cream foundation as a concealer and it gives wonderful coverage for dark circles, but it definitely creases. Their liquid concealer is good as well, but I wouldn’t consider it full coverage.
Amazing Cosmetics amazing concealer. A little goes a long way and it provides full coverage.
MAC Studio Finish – though I haven’t tried too many.
OCC conseal
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer-it’s really pigmented and creamy
Cle De Peau’s concealer. It’s way overpriced, but it’s the best I’ve tried so far.
I like dermablend….and I’ve tried a billion concealers for these allergic, hereditary dark circles. Smooth Indulgence Concealer SPF 20 in almond.
Christopher Drummond Duo Phase Concealer. great stuff.
GLO Camouflage! I’ve tried so so many concealers and color correctors to cover old pigmented acne scars and discolorations. I was very surprised that Glo Minerals offered as much coverage as it does. Their undereye concealer is great too!
MAC studiofinish definitely, it is creamy and just glides on and you don’t even need to use that much to get a great coverage. It doesn’t crease if you use a little bit and set it with a bit of powder.
MUFE HD! Best for my super pink skin. And I’ve tried them all!
Another vote for It Cosmetics. When I first got it, I didn’t like it at all but I’ve learned to work with it and it is one of the best under-eye concealers I’ve got.
Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer. I use it for both undereye and on blemishes/redness/dark spots. A tiny bit goes such a long way, it’s amazing.
I’m partial to a few, but the best I think I’ve found so far is Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. It’s so light but has such good coverage, it’s kinda magical. And it comes with two colors so its super versatile.
Haven’t found my HG concealer yet. I have oily skin but my under eye area is particularly dry. Most of the concealers I’ve tried (High End and Drugstore) leave me with dry flaky skin which leads to the concealer to look very obvious and unflattering. For blemishes I use Vichy’s Dermablend. Is a miracle product if you find a color that matches your skin tone (I mix 025 Nude and 035 Sand to get my perfect color). For my under eye area I use Lancome’s Effarcernes which is the less drying on my skin but doesn’t hide the under eye circles that well.
I think you need a different product for under eye. Not a true concealer. Have someone help you at a makeup counter. You use a tiny amount and pat with your small finger to blend. YSL Touche Eclat makes a nice one but there are others that are not as expensive.
Lancome Effacernes. I also like Collection 2000, it’s medium coverage. I found Mac’s Studio Finish a little dry, hard to blend.
I love MUFE HD for covering blemishes but I would have to say hands down, MAC Prolongwear concealer because I can use it under my eyes as well.
Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer! Had a demo of it at the Kevyn Aucoin counter at Barneys NY in Beverly Hills and bought it right away. Don’t know how I lived without it before. Using it now I save money on my expensive foundations (like Hourglass or Giorgio Armani) because I don’t have to use as much. Worth every single penny!
MUFE full coverage is the best , water resistant for my watery eyes . Little horas a long way , give me a coverage that last forever seriously ! 😀
I like Cle de Peau concealer although the price tag almost gave me a heart attack when I bought it and still makes me cringe when I think about it. But. My 46 year old face appreciates that it covers where it needs to, stays put and does NOT cling to wrinkles/loose skin. It’s texture has to be felt to understand!!!
Lancôme Effecarnes. I have used many. This one covers well and is waterproof.
Benefit Erase Paste hands down for full coverage and a good brush.
Christine, where is your comment!!?? DYING to know what you think!
Cle de Peau or OCC!
Amazing Cosmetics.
It covers everything completely, {including my tattoo} while still managing to be light and does not crease.
I’ve even mixed it with my moisturizer and made a breathable full coverage foundation out of it.
And that tube that’s the travel size? Lasts me a whole year.
Why would anyone ever buy another concealer after this?
It’s honestly the best one on the market.
Amazing concealer is long time holy grail but love cle de peak for versatility- use onlids to cover discolorations and as cream shadow highliter. Stays in makeup bag. Armani maestro concealer is pretty nice for coverage and light weight texture.
When i worked at sephora the FULLEST coverage out of all the concealers was hands down MUFE full cover. I used it to cover tattoos or for clients who had particularly bad dark circles. Only problem is that it dries fairly quickly and is not good for super dry skin! I’ve recently found an inexpensive dupe though, Hard Candy Glamoflauge concealer! Its under $10!!
Armani High Precision of course. It instantly brighten my crazy undereyes and keep bright them all day all light:)
kevyn aucoin!! sensual skin enhancer
This!!! It is insane how much coverage you get with just the tiniest dot.
MUFE Full Cover
Estee Lauder’s Maximum Cover Camouflage – great for covering blemishes when I break out and doesn’t bring attention to dry/flaky areas
Cle de Peau
Cle de Peu stick concealer in Ivory.
My current favorite is Smashbox HD. It’s a liquid, and for me it covers and blends out the best without looking flaky or obvious on my skin. It also has a shade I can wear, as a very fair coolish toned person. TheBalm Timebalm is pretty good too. I’ve been on a concealer hunt lately though, still looking for the perfect one I feel like.
Blemishes, MAC Studio Finish.
Effacernes by Lancome! It lasts forever and provides great coverage.
Actually, Maybelline Fit is amazing. It’s my new fave, over many high end brands. And it’s only about $6.00!! Score!
Benefit Boi-ing in 2
