When it comes to concealers I like to keep it simple and natural. I have personally been through the phase of cakey under-eye and I conclude – it is NOT cute. I’ve finally found lightweight concealers that get the job done. To give you guys some background, I have a little bit of darkness under my eye and EVERY concealer creases on me. I have tried everything from the Tarte maracuja concealer to the shape tape one. I have now accepted my dark circles and the creasing issue. So now I have a few concealers that are up right my alley and I wanted to share them with you.
My favorite concealer/highlighter is the YSL touche éclat. My shade is 2.5 luminous vanilla for under the eye and it’s really perfect. The texture is light and it has good wear. I was nervous before purchasing this because of the price ($42) but now I know why SO many people love it! It also covers darkness by highlighting giving a very fresh appearance.
My next favorite is the Garnier SKINACTIVE anti dark circle eye roller. It is very lightweight and thin in texture. I enjoy the roller ball that makes for a fast and easy application. The coverage is light and doesn’t cover everything but I do like it for everyday wear. It also has caffeine that is great for de-puffing and circulation under the eyes. so it is a skincare/makeup item in one.
I have been enjoying the Glossier stretch concealer for that dewy look. It does crease the most out of the three but I don’t mind it. I use the Glossier Wowder to set it, which does not make it look totally matte. I just blot under my eyes to deal with the creasing during the day. The concealer gives a fresh feel without looking too greasy and is perfect for drier under eyes.
Last but not the least, I also love the Maybelline age rewind concealer that a LOT of people rave about. It is totally worth the hype, provides medium coverage under the eyes and is perfect for an evening out. I wear the shade medium which also brightens my under eyes. The sponge tip applicator is great just like the roller ball. A little bit goes a long way with this one. I do feel like it creases the least out of the four and I like the more matte look it gives. I do have to set all my concealers with powder to make it long-lasting and avoid as much creasing.
So this is a short and sweet list of concealers I love. I hope to discover a few more along the way and will make sure to share them with you all. Please feel free to leave any suggestions you have!
