My Current Concealer Recommendations



Hello Lovelies,

I hope you're all doing well ! For this weeks post I have teamed up with Into The Gloss, to bring you my current concealer recommendations. I've included my top 5 with a mixture of high end to more affordable concealers, as well as what uses each one has for me.

Rimmel Match Perfection: Concealing the under eye / Highlighting the face
Nars Creamy Concealer: Concealing the under eye
Revlon Colorstay Blemish Concealer: Concealing blemishes / Treats blemishes at the same time
Urban Decay Naked Skin: Concealing blemishes / Covering discolouration
*FAVOURITE* Maybelline Instant Age Rewind: Concealing the under eye / Highlighting the face

My all time favourite two ways of applying concealer is either with my finger or with a beauty blender sponge. If I'm using a concealer to cover any kind of blemish, I like to use my finger - clean, of course - as it helps warm up the product and melt it into the skin. When it comes to highlighting the face or concealing under the eyes, I love to use a damp beauty blender. With the moisture in the sponge and using it in a dabbing motion, it gives the concealer an almost airbrushed look and prevents it from looking cakey and too heavy.

Personally I always stick to more yellow or slightly peachy undertones for my concealer, as I find they work best on my complexion and the look I'm trying to achieve. If you suffer from excessive redness or your current concealer doesn't completely conceal your blemishes, using a green colour corrector beforehand helps counteract the redness in the skin. If you'd like me to do a whole separate post on colour correcting, just let me know !
