There's some I love and some I'm not so sure about so thought I'd share my opinions with you lovely lot!
So in no particular order...
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, SC2
This product has long been billed as a wonder concealer in beauty circles, excellent at covering blemishes and undereye shadows. However I really don't like it. It sits in the lines of my skin, doesn't blend well and it is a pain to mix the two shades together! I think this product would suit oily skin types much better, it just makes my skin look dry and parched. I only used it to cover blemishes as way too solid and thick to use under my eyes. I haven't used this in years and should bin it but was expensive- does anyone want it?!
Giorgio Armani Maestro eraser dark circle concealer, 3
This is lovely everyday stuff, very liquidy and easy to blend under the eyes. Feels light and can be built up. It certainly brightens my undereye area but doesn't give the greatest coverage. The tube packaging makes sense as it is very runny however is also a nightmare as generally you squeeze too much out so wastes a lot of product! Am enjoying using this and will finish this tube but probably won't repurchase.
Benefit boi-ing industrial strength concealer, 02
This is my favourite concealer for blemishes and I'm on my second pot. It's just the right consistency- not too solid, not too runny and is quite creamy so easy to blend. Gives great coverage and has long lasting staying power. I apply with my ring finger or with a brush to dark areas of face and blemishes. It's a bit too heavy for undereyes but is perfect for covering small spots. Winner!
Bobbi Brown corrector, light to medium bisque
This is a lovely creamy undereye concealer that gives good coverage, blends well and is easy to apply. As you can see from the pic, I've used this to the bitter end, however I probably won't repurchase. The colour is pinky which I didn't mind but was a different shade to the rest of my skin. It also didn't seem to last very long during the day. I think it would be good for pinkier skin tones.
Benefit erase paste brightening camouflage for eyes and face, 02 medium
This is heavy stuff! Waxy but creamy at the same time and definitely a 'paste'! It is brilliant at covering big red glowing kinda of spots as is very thick. I only use a teeny amount and dab straight onto the spot and blend out. I think it is perfect for nighttime wear or if you want a full on face of make up. It's not my everyday concealer, definitely only if going out and want to cover big, red blemishes. Its too heavy for me to wear under my eyes but would be good if you were doing a photo shoot for example as gives great coverage. It comes with a small spatula and also instructions which is v useful. You really only need a tiny amount!
Rimmel hide the blemish concealer, 002 sand
For years and years this was my favourite blemish concealer, cheap, cheerful and brilliant coverage. However since moving to Dubai it is too light for my slightly tanned face. I've tried buying the shade darker but it's too dark :-( So I kinda need one in the middle. If I move back to England and have my pale face again then this concealer will be getting a lot of use again! Love it.
Laura Mercier secret concealer, 2
It's strange. I don't rate the secret camouflage at all, however I LOVE this undereye concealer! It's by far my favourite and one that I will definitely repurchase when I run out. It's creamy, easily blend able and doesn't drag when you apply under the eye or sit in the creases. It is the perfect shade for me as near to my skin tone and gives long lasting, great coverage. Highly recommend!
Benefit Fake Up hydrating crease control concealer, 02 medium
This was a sample from my glambox and it hands down wins the prettiest packaging prize! It is a unique concept in that the concealer is surrounded by hydrating balm and you apply straight to your undereyes. It glides on beautifully and blends out well. It has good coverage and staying power, however it has a bit of a heavy smell which I'm not too keen on. I've only just started using this so tbc if I will repurchase!
So there you have it... If you have any favourite concealers then let me know- I always love experimenting! :-)
I didn't realise you were such a concealer fiend!! I use a Mac one and I'm pretty happy with it, I cba searching too hard for something to cover my under eye bags!!
