CONCEALERS THAT BRIGHTEN

Shanus — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 12:58:23 GMT

Please don't fall for the brightening concealers. They'll drawer attention to any issues. Concealers should only be a shade lighter, if that. DOLL 10 and MALLY are saying to lighten that area and have products that claim to smoothe and brighten the undereye. Neither of them have lines or wrinkles there...fillers, Botox or whatever. Neither are "spring chickens". Lol

@justashopper Unfortunately, it's another YOUTUBE/INSTAGRAM shtick.

Bobbie Brown had an under concealer that was for darker circles. You just tap a dab of that under concealer and it gave a natural,look, and the concealer looked great.

@Effie54 The BB concealers are still available. There's the original creamy one in a compact (my preference) and a full coverage one in a tube w/ doe foot which I find too dry for the undereye. If undereye is dark there is a corrector to go underneath.

I only use them in parts that 'go in' when I want them to 'come out'...an illusion thing.

To me, a brightening product isn't exactly the same as just a concealer.

A concealer is there to...conceal something & should match the skin tone if it is full coverage.

A brightening concealer has a tone &/or finish that provides camoflauge for a problem, but also does "brighten" that area.

Touche Eclat, Mac Prep+Prime Highlighter, Becca Brightening Corrector are good for that, but I haven't tried other brands that claim the same.

Just using a concealer that is lighter than your skin tone does not brighten the area like @justashopper pointed out.

There are thousands of products out there. It is all just trial & error, & error, & error...or not. Some people actually just get on with their lives & don't worry about it all that much. LOL What is fun about that!?

@Dusty1 @SilleeMee You're both right. Lighter colors will bring the area forward, but if not careful, puffy or darker areas when brightened will be more prominent, too.

My preference is the small compact under concealer. It gives that tiny bit of oomph without making me look like a raccoon.

@Effie54 My shade in that corrector is Porcelain Bisque. It lightens slightly, but has a peach tone and I need to wear concealer on top to blend w/ my complexion.

For the life of me I just can't wear any concealers! When I try them they all do the same thing and settle in fine lines and make it all stick out like a sore thumb! I just use a tiny amount of my foundation that's left on my brush after applying to rest of my face which isn't much and that's it. At least it doesn't settle and I never have to wipe it away during the day due to creasing.

I wish I knew how to make it work for me but none of them pan out in then end and I tried several mentioned in this thread...also IT's & Tarte and covergirl and so on. Wasted my money is all.

@tsavorite Sometimes I use an oil like apricot oil, argan, whatever you choose and dab a bit under the eyes using a q tip or I mix a drop in my hand with undereye moisturizer. After application, give it time to plump up the creases in that area. Even if you just use foundation there and not concealer, the creases should look less.

Doe foot???????

@Judaline

This product has a 'doe foot' applicator. I guess it's called that b/c the shape of the applicator tip resembles a deer's foot.

@tsavorite I so get what you are saying. I am in the same boat. Just this weekend I'm taking 3 concealers back to Ulta because they didn't work for me.

@Judaline Sorry, the concealer's in a tube with a "felt like" tip on the wand.
