AmazingCosmetics Amazing Concealer for the shade range and opacity, It dose cover dark cirles you you have to layer it in thin layers).
Eve Pearls salmon concealer for colour correcting dark circles.
bobbi brown corrector – light bisque with fingers onto dark areas
mac pro long wear – nw20 with 224 brush
benefit powderflage with 224 brush
i have insane under eye circles and very fair skin. Ive tried quite a few concealers and this combo seems to be working well for me right now.
The Bobby Brown Corrector is really nice. I use it too and like it alot. It makes a huge difference from just wearing concealer by itself.
Mac’s select cover up, for sure! I’ve tried several concealers ranging from channel to cover girl and have experienced problems with them settling into fine creases, and even worse CAKING! Mac’s select cover up formula doesn’t do either, and it brightens my under eye area perfectly :). Love it!
same with me!! 🙂
I agree 100% i just started using this and it has become my HG!
I usually prefer a brightener under the eye rather than concealer due to the light weight texture but when I really need a little something Dior hydrating concealer is gorgeous, doesn’t cake and looks quite natural.
Rayna
what eye brightener do you use?
Right now, Candlelight skinflash by Dior. I’ve tried Smashbox and while it looks great it wears off fast. I really want to try YSLs though.
Bobbi Brown corrector or creamy concealer!
I love Amazing Cosmetic’s concealer…it’s excellent! I’ve also been using Hard Candy’s under eye concealer. The name eludes me but it comes with a cooling lotion that goes under your eyes. It’s ingenious!
For me, Bobbi Brown 100%.
I love Eve Pearl concealer It’s creamy and it blends well without settling into my under eye creases
Where do you buy Eve Pearl concealer
Cle de Peau without question. It’s expensive, lasts a long time but it’s magic Great coverage. Circles under my eyes disappear with just a small amount. Colour (has a great beige variety w/o being too yellow) and texture (smooth enough but not too creamy) keeps the product in place. Wouldn’t use anything else!
Same here~ It’s definitely THE best. I’ve tried Laura Mercier’s secret camouflage, Bobbi Brown’s concealer, Le Metier de Beaute’s concealer and many more, CPB is quite outstanding.
The best thing is that it’s not drying at all, and can also being used as a foundation cream on the go.
A cannot-live-without product.
MAC pro longwear. Only one that does not enhance dryness and lines under the eyes.
Armani Cosmetics High Precision Concealer !!!
Doesn’t grease, great shades, not so much coverage but light reflecting, for mature skin
Right now I’m loving Time Balm!
I wish I had one! I need one so much but nothing seems to help. I have lines like this under my eyes – http://tinyurl.com/652hebt and EVERYTHING settles in them! any idea on what to do? or what products to use? I’m only 18 so this worries me.
(Dry skin, if that helps)
Having lines like that isn’t a huge problem, and it’s not surprising if you have very dry skin. Get yourself a good eye cream. And I think MAC has a moisturizing concealer as well.
I am 21 and i have the same problem as you (even if my skin is not so dry). I use Lancome Genefique eyes as a “base” for my concealer. After that, i use Mac prolongwear concealer with a blending brush (fluffy brush). Try to use the thinnest layer of concealer you can possibly use (trick from a mac artist).
Hope it works for you! If not, mac make a line filler primer that is AMAZING! i don’t know if its safe for near the eyes but it hides my acnee scars amazingly!
Those crease line are not unnatural in the lower lid. Normal to dry skin types can get them. I have them as well and to help prevent build up concealer I use a eyecream first before applying.
My dark circles are crescent shaped but I still need to blend the concealer our and cream concealer is best at that over a powder or liquid.
I also like MAC pro longwear concealer for medium coverage as well.
I’ve had the same line since I was 22..such a pain as if dark circles weren’t enough! lol
What works for me is prepping the undereye with a nice eye cream right before applying concealer. I’ve used Lancome revitalist, Mario Badescu Hyaluronic, and Bobby Brown Hydrating. (Basically anything that is a moisturing and wrinkle reducing cream).
I have pretty bad circles so I usually apply a salmon colored corrector first with a brush, careful not to rub but pat it on gently and then wait a little and apply my concealer over that. What also helps is blending the concealer on with a wet sponge.
Amazing Cosmetics Concealer!!! Only concealer I’ve found that completely covers my extremely dark circles. Doesn’t crease/cake/settle into fine lines either. LOVE <3
Bobbi Brown creamy concealer!
I use Amazing Concealer which i love, but I am also interested in trying other products. I’ve used Amazing for 3 years and if I ever switch to something else, people tell me I look tired. I have serious circles though!
Everyday: Bobbi Brown’s creamy concealer or kit Kat Von D’s tattoo concealer
Emergency go-to: Hard Candy’s glamoflauge (light hand)
Special Occasions: Cle de Peau’s concealer! (pricey that’s why it’s occasions) haha
Bobbi Brown corrector in peach and Benefit Erase paste are my favorites!
I’m Currently using MAC Studio Finish w/SPF. I could use something new, ne suggestions. sometimes it looks dried out.
MAC prolongwear concealer, I use NW 25
YSL Touche Eclat by far! It is truly amazing – never cakes or creases, and lasts for ages.
Eve Pearl’s Salmon Concealer
i like benefit erase paste, it jus works so well for my under eye bt never blemishes lol
that one creases into lines soo badly, i have tried everything to set it, it just doesnt work. it covers up wonderfully great, but doesnt last. i am goning to try that on a paintpot by mac, maybe that will prevent it from creasing?
I use painterly pp and it really does help.
I wish I knew that… Christine, what do you recommend? I have REALLY dark circles and a quite light skin (NC15-20).
I love Pixi Brightening Peach corrector for my undereye circles. It has the same consistency as MAC Studio Finish Concealer, but with the peach color to really take out of the blue tones!
I just picked this up last night, and so far I really like it. 🙂
Where?
Target.
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eyes concealer…it is creamy, easy to blend and is full coverage!
I have 3:
#1) Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer in Deep
#2) Bobbi Brown Corrector in Deep Bisque
#3) MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW45
Depending on the look, how dark the circles or how flawless/full of a finish/coverage I’m going for… But all of these concealers have gotten the job done for me time and time again… Im ready to try YSL touche eclat radiant touch since they extended the shade range to include us brown girls!
Bobbi Brown corrector…loves it…
MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer in NW 25!
I love the MAC pro longwear concealer. It takes a bit of getting used to but it is really good
For me Benefit Erase Paste has been by far the best under eye concealer. I have dark circles and it covers them so well. I have no want or need to look at other concealers because of how good a job it does!!!!
I have dark circles & think it depends on what you are looking for the concealer to do and how deep/dark your circles are. I keep switching back & forth between liquid and solid concealers. I find most liquids do not provide enough coverage and solids accentuate fine wrinkles. Right now, I’m using MAC paint pot in Painterly as both a shadow base & undereye concealer. You also need to consider the range of colors to match your skin tone. Concealers I’ve tried that are not bad, but not holy grail: Lancome Effacernes (liquid – flat color), Cle de Peau (stick – too dry), Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer (liquid – hard to match skintone), Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (liquid – not enough coverage), Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer (good coverage, but settles in lines), Make Up For Ever Lift Concealer (liquid – not enough coverage), Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer (liquid – not enough coverage), Cover FX Foundation (good coverage, difficult color match), Jouer Age Repairing Concealer (solid – not enough coverage). Do you have any experience with the RCMA concealer palette?
For me, Clinique’s Airbrush Concealer – I don’t need much coverage, so the light texture and brightening qualities are perfect. It also smells a bit like Chanel No. 22…
MAC Pro Longwear Concealer!!!! Love this stuff! Covers my dark circles, lasts all day, and is easy to blend. The only drawback is the stupid hair trigger. I always end up dispensing too much product.
I asked for one of the sample jars when I was at MAC a few weeks after buying Pro Longwear and now, I squirt into the sample jar. I use what’s left over for the next 2 or 3 days or simply toss the sample jar into my gym bag for using after my workout (I’ve now got 3 sample jars “on the go”). It really is the perfect solution to the pump issue and the MAC ladies have all heard complaints about the pump so they should be willing to give you an empty sample jar!
i do this exact same thing!!!
That’s brilliant, I have bought the concealer three times now and am always frustrated when I have to repurchase thinking of all the product that was wasted by that pump >:(…but it is an amazing under eye concealer…
I’d say MAC pro-longwear concealer does a good job for me, or bobbi brown’s under eye concealer with yellow powder to set it.
Then I’d have to say touche eclat, I know it’s a bit obvious, but I really rate it and would never go without it!
Eve Pearl Salmon concealer in medium!!
by Terry touche veloutée concealer!!!!! I’ve tried everything from MAC to MUFE to drug store brands and so far nothing can compete with Terry concealer!
This! It’s AMAZING!!!!!
i’m south asian with dark under eye cirles and bobby brown dark peach corrector works wonders for me!
I’m really liking mac select moisturecover right now!
There isn’t one. I have tried every one on the market (at least it feels that way) and they all have issues. The new one from CARGO isn’t bad, but it’s still not there. I want one that covers, blends without tugging, doesn’t crease and brightens without being glittery. Yeah, I have high expectations!
Make Up Forever Lift Concealer
Seconded! Love it! Not sure if it would cover super dark circles though.
benefit erase paste! super creamy formula that covers the dark circles under my eyes completely and never fails to make me look like ive had a full nights sleep, even if i was up til 4 am partying haha
It depends on how bad your dark circles are. I’m NC 40 with genetic very heavy pigmentation under the eyes and on the side of mu nose. I use the Apricot Corrector from the Mac Mickey Contractor collection and Studio Sculpt over it and then a setting powder. Works miracles.
Clinique. All about eyes concelear! The best.
YSL touche eclat, it melts i and covers those baggies just perfectly 🙂
I use MUFE Full Cover because my dark circles are super bad. The only downside is that it’s slightly drying, but heck, until I find a better one im sticking with this.
Ooh, Hourglass has a fantastic concealer stick that I love! I use their concealer brush as well and a little goes a long way, which is great considering they are not an inexpensive brand. Also, I love to put a little bit of the Physician’s Formula Glow and Mood Boosting translucent powder over the concealer. It has a touch of shimmer, which acts like a subtle brightener under the eyes.
right now loving my Amazing Concealer in combination with a layer of Benefit Powderflage.
I like BeneFit erase paste… it has a good salmon color and brightening highlights. It looks natural, good for ‘no makeup’ looks. when I’m doing elaborate shadow looks I layer amazing cosmetics concealer on top to completely erase everything.
For people on a budget I would recommend L’oreal True Match Touche Magique. It’s an illuminating concealer, like the famous YSL Touche Eclat.
It makes me look awake and fresh. The range of colors is not that bad either.
mac prolongwear works fine,but it is not strong enough for me since i have terrible eye circles.I use studiofinish on prolongwear when i want a fuller coverage
I’m currently using (and loving) Bobbi Brown’s corrector in Deep Bisque; creamy enough for easy blending with the fingers and in a small compact package that you can carry anywhere.
Another good one is MAC’s prolongwear concealer, however the pump annoyed me a bit and I just find Bobbi Brown’s easier to use and blend.
Bobbi Brown corrector
MAC ProLongwear doesn’t budge over stay don’t stray primer and covers well with 2 coats + dry time in between
YSL Touche Eclat is awesome! Doesn’t settle into lines and lasts forever!
I also love Amazing concealer for undereyes, red spots, blemishes- everything!
The Garnier roller ball for under eye circles is really nice too!
I use the Benefit Powderflage over top of whatever I put underneath my eyes and never put foundation or any other powder under my eyes or it settles into the lines:(
Benefit erase paste, covers really well and nice texture!
Amazing concealer is… well….. amazing. Not only does it work on dark circles under the eyes, it’s great for covering age spots, too ! When I 1st got it the small tube seemed like it wouldn’t last long with all the areas I had to cover up. I use it daily and the small tube has lasted more than 3 months. You don’t need to use much at all.
I have tried SO many concealers and in my opinion, MAC’s Prolongwear is the BEST there is. I can apply it with my Sonia Kashuk brush, MAC’s 224, the absolutely crummy MAC 194 or my fingers and it looks great. I can blend it down to cover the redness on my cheeks and basically forgo foundation entirely. I absolutely love this stuff. I’ve got it in both NW 15 and 20 (for when I’m a bit darker in summer or paler, like now). Before this, my fave was Clarins’s Instant Light Perfecting Touch (similar to YSL’s Touche Eclat but I like it better).
benefit erase paste no.1, the only concealer that doesn’t cake on me and doesn’t settle in my very fine first lines.
for days when I don’t need that much concealing I use touch eclat, a staple in my make-uo bag for 14years now (i’m 29)
Mac Studio Sculpt!
blend both ends of maybelline age rewind double-ended and tap on gently
I like my Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in NW15.
For the pump problem: I have a little tester pot from The Body Shop where I put some in. It won’t dry out for a few days and nothing ends up in a tissue 🙂
DIOR Sculpt 😉
I love Fresh Umbrian clay, as it covers under the eye beautifully and the color is very natural
The only under eye concealer I’ll use is Clinique All About Eyes. The shade Light is perfect for my skin tone, it covers nicely, lasts all day and does not cake, smudge or crease. You only need a tiny bit, so the tube lasts forever. I absolutely love it.
Best concealer- Laura Mercier Under Cover Pot, because there is a creamy side and a drier side that covers imperfections too. Drug store brand Cover Girl Smoothers it probably the perfect consistency for under the eyes and blemishes.
Bobbi Brown Corrector! (Mine is in Peach!)
MAC Pro Longwear!! It doesn’t fade and never settles in my fine lines. HG status for sure!!
YSL Touche Eclat! Love the stuff!
I’ve very fair skin and naturally problems with dark circles – no matter if I sleep 3 hours or 10 hours a night. I really like the Illamasqua under-eye concealer for touch-ups during the day because its little case has a mirror in it.
Been using MAC’s select moisturecover concealer in NW15. Has surprising staying power on me. Lasts pretty much all day if I set it with some powder.
I have terrible bags under my eyes and I’m only 18! College life i guess 🙁 I’m using benefit erase paste and it’s okay but it’s not amazing. Think I’ll try Bobbi brown’s correcter it seems like it’s getting the most praise here!
Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer. It is the BEST thing I have ever tried, and I have tried A LOT. I am native american so I have many folds under my eyes, and it doesn’t cake up or emphasize them. I also, from genetics, have extremely dark circles under my eyes, and I don’t sleep nearly enough either, my teachers and even my boyfriend noticed how well rested I looked using this concealer… during finals week, which I definitely wasn’t anything close to being well rested! I totally recommend this, it may be pricey but you seriously only need to use the amount the size of the tip of a ball point pen to cover both under eyes. I also have bad acne and rosacea, and this also covers this– always looking natural and never cakey. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
Benefit Boooing!! i’ve tried so many but I love this one the most!!!
same here! super creamy and great coverage 🙂
ugh boooing just CAKES on me and is so dry and makes my eyes sag!
Lancome waterproof concealer!
clinique line smoothing concealer and benefits boing concealer
I rotate between,
MAC Prolongwear in NW20
Timebalm in Light
I don’t have 1 “best” concealer, but I have a best routine:
1. Smashbox Photo Op – smooths out my undereye and adds brightness
2. Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer – just on the darkest areas
3. Bobbi Brown Corrector – anywhere that needs to be brightened more
4. Benefit Powderflage – set everything
Anybody have recommendations for a concealer for people with extremely dark inherited under-eye circles? I mean the kind where if you go out without makeup, people sometimes think you’ve got double black eyes. Mine look a lot like this: http://www.realself.com/question/dark-circles-sunken-eyes-contact-lens
…except I’m mostly of northern European stock and very pale (maybe NC 15), so it stands out even more.
I’d love to hear from anyone who is in the same boat or otherwise experienced with this. I’m using Boi-ing in 01 and 02 right now. It’s great for not creasing but it’s not giving me good coverage at all–it really just tones them down a bit.
I have circles like that too, my lids also tend to be that color. And when I don’t wear any makeup people keep telling me how tired I look, which is really annoying.
I have tried pretty much every concealer out there. The ones that cover the best in my opinion are
-Mac Studiofinish concealer (the little pot)
– Make Up For Ever Camo pot
– Bobbi Brown concealers and correctors. (I have several shades)
-Boing from Benefit works sometimes, but only at my palest.
I find that I often need 2 or 3 layers of products for the circles to go away. I also reapply through out the day. Highlighting your cheekbones is also part of my routine as it brightens the area around the dark area.
Also, using a neutralizing base or primer on your lid can also make you look more awake. I use Smashbox Lid Primer daily, sometimes alternate with UDPP in Eden. (I am NC25-NC30)
Hope that helps a little.
Dior Nude Skin is so much user-friendly than Bobbi Brown which I also loved (now it is # 2 for me)
Right now I’m using Benefit Erase Paste and I really don’t like it! It has great coverage but it’s too creamy, almost sticky and it enhance all the lines under the eyes. Still searching for a good one. After reading you comments, I’ll think I’ll try MAC.
My current favorite is MAC’s Studio Finish concealer, it’s my favorite concealer for everything- blemishes and under eyes. To get the best results, I apply and slightly blend it with my finger but then use a concealer brush to finish. It’s wonderful!
Bobbi brown!
i love the cle de peau concealer! it’s expensive, but sooooo amazing!
Hands down, Eve Pearl salmon concealer. Then, a little sweep of Benefit’s Powderflage.
Another vote for Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer! It’s pricey but gives really opaque coverage with just a little amount of product. Another great one is Benefit Boi-ing. I used that for 2-3 years before I discovered Amazing Cosmetics. I made the switch because the shade matched my skin better.
Milani HD concealer for me
MAC SELECT MOISTURECOVER :)!
it’s AMAZING
I use a couple: Cle de peau – loved the tube, just swipe it on.
Amazing concealer is amazing. Expensive but last two years using every day.
Px – in the silver compact.
KA SSX is a foundation but the S5 is a nice yellow that counteracts my dark circles.
Senna has a peach concealer. Sounds alot like Eve Pearl.
Garnier tinted eye roller it gives enough coverage and the caffiene in it gets rid of your dark under eye circles
Make Up Designory blue correctors!
Bobbi Brown corrector in bisque and concealer in beige!!
MAC Moisturecover is my favorite.
wow it’s great
My ultimate success with under eye concealed (so far) has been Amazing Cosmetics, and either Mac studio finish or byTerry to (compensate ) adjust color. Under eye concealer remains one of those area’s where I am always open to improvements, and looking to try new products!!
My favorite is Tarte’s Dark Defense concealer. It’s a salmon shade that really covers the dark circles. It’s a wonderful, creamy concealer!
I love Eve Pearl’s salmon concealer. Got it from Hautelook on sale and when I tried it today I can’t see my dark circles all day long!!! I actually look awake for the first time! Yeah!
benefit erase paste, for ever!
I love my Clinique All About Eyes Concealer, it covers without drying my undereye area 🙂
MUFE Full Coverage Concealer — exact match for my skintone or Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer depending on that day. Touch up with BE Well-rested. MUFE & BE are exact matches for my skintone.
Covergirls ageless benefits undereye concealer/corrector is the only thing that I’ve ever used that actually does ( after a few weeks of use) get rid of under eye circles. Whatever it has in it is pretty wonderful!
I love maybelline dream mousse concealer. It hides my dark circles perfectly.
This was my all time favorite concealer. Its consistency was perfect for the under eye and a corrector wasn’t even necessary due to the pigmentation. It also doesn’t require a setting powder but for nights out I would use a plain silica powder I got from coastal scents under the makeup ingredients tab.– side note: don’t waste your money on mufe
This was my all time favorite concealer. Its consistency was perfect for the under eye and a corrector wasn’t even necessary due to the pigmentation. It also doesn’t require a setting powder but for nights out I would use a plain silica powder I got from coastal scents under the makeup ingredients tab.– side note: don’t waste your money on mufe’s hd powder or similar highend products. They are mostly silica based and the coastal scents powder makes my skin feel like porcelain. But I digress, sadly the mousse concealer has been discontinued. It took me a while to realize that they no longer made it but once found out I was very upset. I was on my 4th or 5th contain er and planned on using it forever 🙁
For me it’s Bobbi Brown Corrector in Medium-Dark Bisque + Eve Pearl Salmon concealer in Medium. Covers my dark circles without causing wrinkles or drying out my undereye
Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Concealer, seriuosly the best for my genetic dark under eye circles and I’ve tried them all!
Dior Diorskin Nude Perfecting Hydrating Concealer! I have tried sooo many and this is the best (for me)!
I like Revlon’s Age Defying concealer for my undereyes <3
I'm an NC 35 and Medium is perfect for me!
MAC Selectmoisture Cover Concealer because it’s so natural, and looks like your own skin without being cakey! And it has a great range in colors.
My Absolute all time favorite under eye concealer would have to be :
LANCOMES TEINT MIRACLE
I have tried a lot of them. So far my favorites are Time Balm and Mac prolong wear concealer.
Benefit erase paste – i like this because it is very moisturizing and it brightens well. However it does not have very opaque coverage and it is very slippery – it will settle into lines. However because it is so slippery you can wipe it out of the lines even later in the day. It doesn’t cake.
Bobbi brown corrector – this is great and provides better coverage than erase paste.
Eve Pearl salmon concealer – too orange!!! I like the consistency but it doesn’t brighten. Time Balm is better because it also brightens, is opaque, and has the same gel/cream consistency.
ANy brand of salmon corrector is meant to be used under concealer.The salmon hides the circles and the concealer hides the salmon.Then,set with a touch of powder.HTH.
my HG concealer is revlon age defying in light. the best concealer i’ve ever tried. i’m nc30-35 but the lightest shade in their concealer is very ok for my under eye circles. i do have fine lines and dark circles and this covers it all without it settling to my fine lines. super love it!!! 🙂
MUFE Full Cover Concealer – no shade gives me the color I desire, but I mix #12 and #14 and it comes out perfect (I’m MAC NC45 for reference)!!! Also, you can get away with not setting this concealer (although I recommend doing so).
dior nude moisturizing concealer = LIFE SAVING..
Bobbi Brown!
I am only 13 and I have a a deep-ish looking crease below my eyes. Like this http://deravera.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/eye.jpg. Before I apply concealer, I always put on DoubleBase Gel Cream then Elf Mineral Concealer because of my facial eczema and dry skin before I go to school. The concealer’s coverage Is not that good but covers the blackheads on my nose quite well. Is there any concealers that covers up creases well like mines ? :/
I have very bad bags and under eye circles and nothing worked until I read an article by Bobby Brown and learned that this two are ment to GO TOGETHER. Under eye correctors and concealers are two complete different things…after moisturizing and priming you apply an under eye corrector to cover the dark circles, redness and blemishes then you apply the concealer to blend it with your skin color ( i love TARTE) then finish it with a HD powder ( i love MUFE hd) to set it and get a flawless natural look. A little bit goes a long way. Use a brush for best results.
Three great ones (and I’ve tried them all):
1) L’Oreal Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral Concealer, SPF 25
2) Clinique Line Smoothing Concealer
3) Dermablend Concealer, SPF 30
Nothing works better than L’Oreal Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral Concealer. You gently brush it on and *poof* it conceals everything with one stroke. No pulling the skin, no use of your hands, no difficult blending. I don’t only use concealer under my eyes, I use it to fill lines in and cover spots. A good trick, if you have deep nasal folds (outside of your nose) is using this on those folds. I have used just about everything on that area and this is really the only thing that works. I used to use Max Factor’s Erase Line Filler (another great discontinued product) and until this appeared on the market NOTHING replaced it. This does a fantastic job and NO CREAM, no streaks, doesn’t come off with sweat and it’s extremely gentle for spots and anything else. You wouldn’t think it would work, but it does and amazingly well, and stays put. I have very oily skin in some areas and it’s really difficult to find a good concealer that won’t land in the creases after time. I also have dry skin in other areas and this works equally as well. Lasts a long time; I use it every day and I’ve had this one for almost a year. About $10.
Clinique Line Smoothing Concealer, is a great all-purpose concealer and line filler, best for those ladies who prefer a cream. I love Clinique; all their products are very pure and very well tested and they are masters at skin care and makeup bases. This stuff is great, won many awards from Beauty magazines when it was introduced about 10 years ago. It is, a bit more expensive at $15.
Dermablend Cover Cream is the epitome of concealers and is considered a makeup foundation product for those people who need extra coverage for scars, birthmarks, etc. They also have a concealer which is pretty good, but nothing covers like this stuff. VERY pricey, $34 but a jar of this stuff, used only as a concealer, will last you a lifetime. If you use it on large areas for many spots and small scars, or as a foundation, it’s lovely and covers very well. Good for oily or dry skin; contains no oil products and gives you a matte finish wherever you put it.
yes! i have light skin and and cover blue hues under my eyes. I have dry skin. I have used everything under the sun- the best product it Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer set with a fluffy brush and a small amount of make up forever HD powder. you need a very small amount of this product to cover and I warm it up on the back of hand prior to applying it. then apply to under eyes with fingers patting where more coverage is needed and blending where less coverage is needed. it is awesome coverage, super natural looking and the product wearability is great when you set it with the HD powder.
Loreal Paris True Match Touche Magique is hands down the best. Better than the YSL touche eclat. I’ve tried them all, amazing cosmetics, erase paste, makeup forever, dior, too faced, bobbi brown, mac, etc, etc.. Can’t believe my perfect concealer actually came from a drugstore, very surprising!!
im going to nordstroms tomorrow and want to buy a good undereye concealer. what do you all think is the best? i was considering bobbi brown correcter concealer but im not sure what shade. im an NC30 studio fix in mac. can anyone help?
Bobbi Brown dark peach corrector and eye brightening liquid concealed. MAC could never match me up with the right shade of concealers. I went to at least 4 of their make-up artists and was told they didn’t have a color match for me because I had yellow under tones. One make-up artist suggested I buy 2 of their concealers and mix them together to get the color I needed so I passed on buying MAC.
