Re: CONCEALERS THAT BRIGHTEN

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.

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.


Doe foot???????

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.

I do wear a undereye product that is a shade lighter than my foundation (which is the same shade as my skin).  It is blended well and not heavy.  I think it looks good but the same shade concealer (to match my foundation) would probably look good too.  I'm using Tatcha's Pearl mixed with a tiny drop of Hourglass Primer.
