Top 5 Concealers

Hi everyone,

My skin has been having a complete nightmare for a while now but over the last couple of weeks in particular I have been having a really bad breakout and my skin just looks so tired and dull. Concealer has become my best friend and I have tried and tested many to find the ones that work best for me, both for covering up any redness and blemishes and for hiding dark circles. As it is a completely necessary product for me at the moment, I thought I would post a rundown of my current top 5 concealers in the hope that maybe it will help some of you if you are struggling with the same problems.

 

5. Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer and Brightener

I love using a highlighting concealer under my eyes to just brighten and lift my skin tone. The Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer and Brightener has a slight pink tint to it and makes the under eye area look much smoother and also helps makeup stay in place longer. This one is a little more light weight than others I have used so if you’re looking for something that isn’t too heavy it might be worth giving this one a try.

 

 

4. Rimmel Wake Me Up

This is a very popular concealer amongst bloggers so I won’t go on too much as you’ve probably heard tons about it already. This is another one to use under the eyes rather than on blemishes and is one of the few concealers that I will always have in my makeup drawer. I usually buy it in a shade lighter than I normally would to get that extra brightening effect.

3. Bourjois Radiance Reveal

It took me absolutely ages to find this concealer as it was sold out everywhere and even now I don’t have it in the shade that I really want. I ended up getting shade 2 which does match my skin tone but as I was using it under my eyes again, I really wanted to get shade 1. However, I was too impatient to try it as I’ve seen rave reviews everywhere and just decided to give it a go. So far I have been impressed and it has bumped Rimmel Wake Me Up down my list of favourites. I really like the smooth texture of it and the fact that it gives a bit more coverage than some concealers for those days when I really need it!

2. Estée Lauder Double Wear

I have used this concealer for years alongside my Double Wear foundation and it was my number one go-to concealer for ages. It provides really high coverage and is great for hiding blemishes. The only thing to be careful of is applying too much as it can look cakey if you go in too heavy with it.

 

1. Benefit Boi-ing

This is a recent re-discovery that came about actually out of pure laziness! I was doing my makeup one day and realised that my Double Wear concealer was downstairs and I just really couldn’t be bothered to go and get it. Scrambling round in my makeup drawers I came across my Boi-ing concealer and decided to use that instead. I’m so glad I did as it has been such a huge help when doing my makeup recently. It comes in a pot but I just use my fingers to apply it and it melts really easily onto the skin. I find gently patting it on is the best way to go and it blends so nicely and provides fantastic coverage.

Which concealers do you like to use? Have you tried any of my top 5?
