To Conceal......or not to Conceal..?!?!







One product I find that I have never really found my perfect match with is......"Concealer" and boy have I tried loads....!!! Touche Eclat, Benefit, MAC, Clinique, ELF....need I go on?? I either find there to thick, sit in the fine lines under my eyes...(Benefit) Or there to thin and light and don't cover well (Touche Eclat) I think concealers are very personal to your skin texture as well as tone, and my skin is olive in colouring and i think that's where the problem lies, that and having quite bad dark circles from many years of lack of sleep from being a mummy!!



But hey, I will not be beaten there must be a wonder product out there which will make me look airbrushed and like I have just woken from a 12 hour sleep......(LOL) I just haven't found it yet. Next on my hit list is going to be Bobbi Brown, I have heard good things about this and like the idea of the cream concealer and powder in one compact!



Well I would love to hear about your favourite concealers and which ones you really love?.........Who better to ask than you guys??...xxx

  1. I thought Touche Eclat was a highlighter not a concealer? I am currently using the camo quad by Coastal Scents even though i'm from the UK. It matches perfectly and blends well, however, it's a bit too thick so it sits in my fine lines.

  2. I personally love Benefit Boi-ing!

    Another one i love is Max Factor Erase Concealer which is discontinued (in the UK not to sure about other places) but you can find some on ebay! they are a little more expensive then what they used to be as they are discontinued but i think totally worth it :)

  4. My favorite concealer is Bobbi Brown. I use the corrector first and then the concealer. The corrector is magic, often I only need to use the corrector with a light dusting of powder over the top.

  5. I know it sounds silly but I LOVE george at asda undereye concealer pen. I like it because it is touche eclat style, with the pen, but the formulation is slightly thicker so it covers really well. Its £3.50 xx
