Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer

This Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer is my new favorite under-eye concealer. I’ve been wearing it about a week now and it by far out performs any of my other drugstore concealers. I actually like this more than my Maybelline Age Rewind concealer.

I purchased mine in the shade radiant. I don’t have horribly dark under-eye circles so this covers and brightens fantastically for me. The thing I like most is I have no creasing with this. It doesn’t settle in any lines I have under my eyes and blends out seamlessly.

The applicator tip is a brush. You twist the bottom and the product comes out the tip. The application is easy and I just blend it out with the pointed end of my beauty blender.

I don’t have too much more to say besides I’m really enjoying this and I recommend it for anyone who hates creasing under their eyes.

Things To Know:

1. This is a gel based formula. I think this really helps with blending, it doesn’t feel greasy and I have no creasing with this.

2. This is marketed as an all-over concealer. I’ve mainly used it under my eyes but you can use it on other areas of your face.

3. This does a great job brightening under your eyes and around the inner corner of eyes

This is my new favorite under-eye concealer!

Rimmel Match Perfection 2-in-1 Concealer

I’ve discovered my new favorite concealer and it only cost around 5 dollars at CVS. The Rimmel Match Perfection concealer covers amazingly for me and blends in perfectly. A few seconds after application the color does begin to adapt to your skin and hides any redness or dark circles flawlessly. This past weekend I wasn’t feeling very well and when I did leave my apartment I skipped foundation entirely and just wore this concealer! I have a very hard time find concealers that work well enough that I can skip my foundation so that’s saying alot. The color I bought was 245 Light.

The packaging is easy to use, it comes in a squeeze tube with a blending brush on the end. I’m not a huge fan on the brush and I usually end up blending the concealer out with my beauty blender sponge.

I find this works well for me on blemishes, redness and under my eyes which is pretty good for one concealer. My only complaint is I find myself squeezing out more product than I need and even though I’ve only had this tube a few weeks I’m almost out of it. However, this will be a repurchase for me. Love love love this stuff!

NYX Concealer in a Jar

So here is my little jar of NYX concealer

Sorry, the picture isn’t very good!

I purchased mine off cherryculture.com because I wanted to try and it haven’t seen it available at ULTA but you can buy it from the ULTA website where I buy alot of my NYX stuff. It cost 4.50 and I bought a few other things so I didn’t pay any shipping!

I got the shade beige and I’d say its a pretty good match to my skin color. The consistency of this is very creamy and blendable and you do get some good coverage with it. It definitely works around the nose and cheek area to conceal any redness and I use it under my eyebrows after I pluck to cover any irritation I have. When it comes to covering blemishes I’d say this is so so. It goes on pretty well but I find myself having to retouch any really bad spots I have. I’ve tried this under my eyes as well and I think it works fine for that. Its not so thick that it settles in lines and I always set it with a powder.

I’m still looking for that perfect concealer but in the meantime this works well.
