Concealer

Finally getting into m/u after six months without it. Stunned at how much m/u I have. What was I thinking?

Meeting a friend; we'd both be wearing masks so I just did eyes. Have a corrector but can't find concealer. It was a BB double (found the box.) I remember I wasn't thrilled with it. Too thick. Same with IT.

Prefer to stay out of department stores so that means on line or drugstore. I'm very fair; always use lightest shade of foundation.

Suggestions are welcome.

I'm interested in the answers here too. Mally's cream kit with setting powder was my absolute go-to, for years...great consistency, application, blending, staying power, skin match was perfection. Then...she stopped making it. sigh. Likely when her company was bought, everything changed & she just became the "talking head" for the brand. I've tried a few since then...haven't liked any that much but made do. In the past 2 yrs I settled on IT bye bye undereye cream...it's getting me by, color match and staying power is ok, but like OP says, yes, I too find it too thick. I've tried Benefit, years ago, was a cream in a compact, dried out fast, got stiff...threw most of it away before using it. I had a Laura Geller one that came in a lipstick tube, I didn't buy...mom did and gave to me...in medium (my usual color)...I love and use many LG products but this was too sheer, no staying power. I'd put it in my purse and use it for touch ups only. So yes...I'd love to hear others' suggestions too!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer. There are tens of thousands of great reviews for that concealer. It's easy to find and the cost of well under $10 should make it a must-try. Goes on almost like saturated foundation, does not settle and you don't need to use a setting powder if you don't want to. Has a sponge-tip applicator tip but I like to use a small concealer brush to get it into the inner corners. You don't need to apply much and it lasts all day.

Sounds like a great recommendation...I'm going to check it out! Is it liquid in a tube with sponge applicator tip...similar to a lip gloss? Just curious. My favorite types are always creams in a compact...no waste compared to tubes (my least fav..always a ton of waste) or plastic tubes like lip gloss...but not many made that way. Anyway, this suggestions seems worth a try!

The Age Rewind Concealer has an applicator tip which is bigger round than a lip gloss has. I actually pull the sponge part off and use my own concealer brush. I'm not crazy about sponge applicators b/c of sanitary reasons. Do what you like, that's just how I like to apply mine and you may like it with the sponge attached. You twist the top part to make the product come out that way.

Great...thanks for the demo pics! I too would prefer to use my makeup brush, which I've been using to apply the IT concealor too. Tks again!

Without a doubt, the ELF Camo Concealer. You can get the regular or the hydrating. It has a doe foot applicator and a little goes a long way. It is my HG concealer.

One word of advice about the Maybelline, I would try it with the sponge first and see what you think. I removed the sponge when I bought it without trying it first and ended up tossing the concealer because I found it to be way too messy and it got dried up where it comes out of the component. I repurchased the brightening one and use that under my concealer and while I'd not buy it again, for me it was much better with the sponge.

Nars Creamy Conceaker in the shade Custard. It works for deep under eye circles too, especially if mixed with a dot of peach Becca. The Nars does not settle into fine lines and it is very long lasting. It's also buildable.

Hi. If you don’t want to invest in another concealer I found out if you warm the concealer that is too thick on the back of your hand first it gets somewhat thinner. Also, if you have dry skin you can add just a bit of argan oil, rose hip oil, etc. Whatever you have on hand and mix a little in with the concealer. If you don’t like any of those ideas I’ve had success with Revolution brand sold at Ulta and the new Cover Girl concealer. The one with black stripes on top. Good luck🍀🍀🍀🍀

My favorite concealer of all the ones in my inventory is Too Faced Born this Way. It's kind of like the 3 Bears...not too thick, not too thin, but just right & the coverage? Completely camoflouges any hint of darkness! The colors are extensive, so you will be able to find an exact match using their color chart.

You turned me on to this, @SilleeMee. It is my dessert island product. I wear this everyday and sometimes it is the only thing I put on besides my spf. When I handed one to my sister to try, you thought she had died and gone to heaven. She said she thought her eyes would never look good again. I keep a huge back up stash and so does she. BTW to the OP, a tube of this lasts forever. I use the the illumination one and also a concealer brush - from ELF. My sister uses her finger to tap on.

Thanks again, @SilleeMee !

YAY! I'm so happy that you and your sister both love it! @tends2dogs

I do like you do...sometimes that concealer is all I wear and, yes, the tube lasts a very long time. I also keep a backup in my stash.

@SurferWife , I am just finishing up a bottle of this. It is a very good concealer and the bottle is huge. When I first bought it from Sephora, I thought the SA accidentally gave me the foundation instead of the concealer. LOL

Had I not found the $3.00 ELF Camo concealer, I would have repurchased the BTW.

@SilleeMee , I'm not sure you would like it. It is very thick. I have major undereye circles. With 90% of concealers I have tried, I have to use a corrector first and then use concealer or my darkness shows through. For instance, you love that Maybelline Age Rewind but for me it was way too thin and didn't do anything for my circles. I loved the way it felt under my eyes and it didn't crease or get into fine lines, but it didn't conceal for me either.

For $3.00 the ELF would be worth the try but I wouldn't be surprised if you find it too thick for you. This is one of the only products I can use on it's own without a corrector.

I bought the Tarte Shape Tape TSV a few weeks ago and like it. Its not too thick at all, and covers the dark circles without being too cakey.

@Lipstickdiva

Thank you for that great explanation of the elf. I might try it anyway b/c I have some very dark broken caps, more like dark red dots, on my cheeks where I find those difficult to conceal. I'm just barely covering them now with the Age Rewind.

I use an eye concealer from First Aid Beauty. It’s not thick, medium covg, steel tip applicator so I use it for my puffy eyes too. It’s super hydrating and forgiving.

@lavendar I own Bobbi Brown's corrector and concealer. If you have really dark circles then use both. I find that the corrector covers perfectly. Make sure you always have a moisturizer on or eye cream. Now the concealer you should only dot on (like you would the corrector). I noticed that the concealer has something in it that shines (interestiing concept). With that said, Maybelline concealer (don't know the correct name) is suppose to be very nice.

I have stopped buying any make=up as I have enough to sell and Heck where do I go. I have tried tons of concealor. I think Josie Maran way overpriced though basic products are good. I will say her chubbie concealor is one of the best I ever used... Hope that helps..
