My dark circles are just out of control. No matter how much I sleep, how much water I drink or eye cream I use, nothing has helped (to date). So I have to rely on concealer to make me look more awake. Under-eye concealers are such a tricky category for me too, because I want it to be full coverage, look natural and not crease. Which is actually pretty hard to find in a concealer. Luckily I have a few that tick all the boxes.
Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer | £38 | REVIEW
This is the best concealer I've found to date, in terms of coverage and how natural it looks. This is really full coverage and covers my dark circles with utter ease. This is kind of thick but it's so easy to blend out! It sits under my eyes beautifully and doesn't crease nor cake up. It's just perfect. It is pricy but you do get a lot for your money and I've had this pot well over 8 months and it shows no signs of running out, so it is good value.
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye | £28 (with brush) | REVIEW
Before I discovered the Kevyn Aucoin concealer this was my Holy Grail and do still really love it and it's a great concealer for dark circles. It has seriously full coverage. Like the Sensual skin Enhancer this is thick but easy to blend out. It makes my under eyes look so much brighter. I only like the Sensual Skin Enhancer more because it looks more natural. But in terms of coverage this is a fab option.
Too Faced Born This Way Concealer | £20
Now this isn't full coverage, I'd say it's more medium but so build-able. I wanted to mention this because it looks so natural under the eyes. It blends seamlessly and definitely helps me look like I've had a good night sleep. I love how brightening this is too. I tend to use this over the top of a full coverage concealer for highlighting the area and works beautifully. It lasts all day without going cakey or creasing crazily. I really can't recommend this enough.
Makeup Revolution Concealer | £4 | REVIEW
At the other end of the price scale I have this super cheap but amazing option from Makeup Revolution. This concealer is so amazing for the price. It has a really good coverage and the formula is amazing. It's so creamy and blend-able but so long lasting. The finish is flawless, it's almost matte but it doesn't look flat or crusty under the eyes. There is also 18 shades available which is pretty impressive for the price. This is also said to be a dupe for the famous Tarte Shape Tape concealer, see my comparison post here.
LA Girl Pro Conceal Yellow Corrector | £5
This is a corrector so doesn't overly conceal my dark circles but rather corrects the shade. But I want to mention this because it's great if you want to pair it with a lighter coverage concealer. It is Yellow but it's not too Yellow that it's difficult to conceal and the shade isn't too pale it doesn't work! It's actually perfect for my skin tone. This is actually one of the best correctors I've ever used! It works really well at making my dark circles look better and with a concealer over the top this definitely helps me look like I've had a good nights sleep.
There's the concealers that keeps my dark circles at bay.
Have you tried any of these? What's your favorutie concealer?
Until next times...
