Top Five Concealers - BLOGMAS DAY TEN!


If you know me then you know I am a complete concealer junkie, concealers is one of the only beauty products I believe you never really stop buying. There's always a new concealer I haven't tried that I want to try, and over the past year I have built up a small collection of concealers I love and swear by, and use daily. I thought that it would be useful for you to find out about my top five concealers!

1. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
I recently did a full review on my blog because I love it so much and you can find it here if your interested in reading it. It's incredibly creamy (as the name states) melts and blends into your face seamlessly. Does not crease nor fade, and perhaps the only concealer I have tried that actually lasts all throughout the day. My dark under eyes circles are completely hidden and i've utterly fallen in love with this concealer. The only cons are the price for the amount you receive and as it's a radiant brightening concealer it does not conceal blemishes very well.

2. MAC Prolongwear Concealer
This concealer, is an all round concealer. It provides quite high coverage and can conceal both under eye circles and spots; however it does begin to fade throughout the day although does not crease. The cons for this concealer, is the thickness and consistency as it drys very rapidly so you have to be super quick whilst applying the concealer.

3. Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
This concealer is quite a light coverage concealer, so I prefer to use it as a highlighter after using the Nars Concealer. The formula is fairly thin, and sits lightly on the skin. Its inexpensive and has a large range of colours for fairer skin which means if you're a pale girl (like me) this concealer is perfect. Because it is a brightening concealer I'd recommend using this if you suffer from extreme redness (again like me) as it combats the redness really nicely.

4. Maybelline Instant Eraser Eye Concealer
I think this will have to be my favourite drugstore concealer, as it offers really high coverage at an inexpensive price. The concealer itself seems to last a life time and is one of the only concealers (bar Nars) that I own that do not crease. The formula is lightweight, and thin whilst it sits beautifully on the skin.

5. Bobbi Brown Corrector
I haven't owned this for the longest amount of time, but I have owned it for a long enough time to fall completely in love with it. My only concern is the colour range as most of which are either too yellow or pink toned - so it does take a fair amount of blending to match it with my skin tone. Its very thick, but means it offers maximum coverage. I apply with an eyeshadow brush as it apples the product lightly and then use my ring fingers to ensure its blended it. It cancels out the 'bruised' look and then you use your concealer over the top as normal.

Whats your favourite concealer? Anything that I am missing out on?

    1. I too like that concealer, but the lightest shade is still so dark for me! xx
