THE CONCEALER EDiT

Concealer has somehow makes a very handy companion for myself. After learning some tricks of how to properly apply concealer form the guru Lisa Eldridge by watching her youtube videos over and over again, I learnt to appreciate how staple concealer is for my make-up routine. Aside from finding the right concealer shade, finding the right concealer to suit your needs is equally important.


The Compact One- The Soap and Glory Kick-Ass Concealer must be my favourite concealer when I am travelling. It is very compact and quiet small that it doesn't take a lot of space. Aside from its compact packaging, Kick Ass concealer has three products in it. There is salmony coloured concealer which is great to use in the undereye area, a greenish colour concealer which helps combat redness and camouflage blemishes really well, and a concealing press powder on top which is great to use to set your concealers. Soap and Glory has really done well in their Kick Ass concealer. Good quality, compact packaging, and affordable price is an unbeatable combination.

The Full Coverage- The Vichy Dermablend Corrective Stick is my concealer of choice for heavy duty concealing. As it comes in a stick form, it is ideal on pinpoint concealing and covering dark areas. The Corrective Stick is very opaque yet quiet waxy in consistency so it is easy to blend and hid problematic areas. When blended properly, it blends naturally to skin. It also lasts ages and doesn't cost a fortune. It also has quiet a good range of shades to choose from.

The Light Reflective One- The YSL Touche Eclat has been a long time favourite of mine. It is very light that I find it really good under my eyes. Now there is a lot of argument about this being a highlighter instead of a concealer and use it instead on top of a concealer. In my case, this does works really fine in concealing and brightening my undereye area without any problem. It has never let me down so this is my go to concealer for ages now. As it is a light reflecting product, it does help light bounce back making you undereye area brighter. It is also very light in consistency that it never settles on the fine line of your eyes and will never appear cake-y.

The Lightweight One- The Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer has been so elusive to me as my colour match is always out of stock. I finally got hold of it a month ago and boy, I do love it. The formula is so creamy yet very light in consistency. Even if it's very light and almost weightless, it is quiet pigmented. It offers a medium to full coverage and quiet easy to blend. As it is light, it will never look cake-y when applied.

The Drugstore Alternative- The Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer is a great drugstore choice for liquid concealer. A lot has been turnoff by the sponge but the sponge is apparently antimicrobial according to Maybelline so it doesn't encourage bacteria growth. But if you are still effy about it like me, then you can easily remove the sponge actually. It makes life easier. The Eraser Eye Concealer is quiet light in consistency as well and gives a decent coverage. It is good to be used under the eye are and also covers slight pigmentation.

Have you tried any of these concealers? What are you thought about these?
