Hi Guy's!
Sorry it's been a little quiet on the blog front.. This weekend saw Mothers day, so I was a busy bee treating my Mum! I have been a bit naughty this pay day and treated myself to a couple of new makeup bits.. One of which is the NARS Creamy Concealer, which I have heard nothing but great things about. So I've tried it out and thought I'd tell you what I thought and about my favourite concealers. Now.. Unfortunately, I have slightly sunken eyes and I have inherited lovely dark circles, so I often look like I've not slept for a year. I cannot tell you how much I struggle to cover them and how many different products I've tried.. but these beauties really do work!
So firstly I need to colour correct.. With dark circles your corrector needs to be an orange / red tone. This will counteract any darkness and minimise your dark circles. My favourite is the Bobbi Brown under eye corrector and I use colour Bisque. It's a subtle orange tone but super pigmented, which means I get a good coverage before applying my concealer. Unlike many others I've tried; It's a rich cream texture which blends really well and the BIG plus is it doesn't sit in any of my fine lines. Pair this with any of the following concealers and I promise you'll get full coverage and you'll look wide awake 24/7!
Make Up Forever - Ultra HD Concealer
Much like the foundations I blogged about, this concealer photographs beautifully. It offers a medium but buildable coverage and has a really lovely texture. It's really easy to work with and blends beautifully. When powered in place this stays put all day! Although this is great for the under eye, it's not so great at covering blemishes, because of it's thinner consistency it needs a little help. The amazing thing about Make Up Forever though is the range of shades; they offer a shade for all origins and skin tones. RRP £20.00
NARS - Creamy Concealer
Well... Believe the hype! This is a brilliant concealer. Unfortunately.. I bought a slightly darker shade than I need (Custard) so I've had to improvise a little, but the colour and coverage is amazing! One downside.. If you don't set with powder it will crease. But it stays in place all day and will cover everything! RRP £23.00
Clarins - Instant Concealer
This is my ULTIMATE favourite! I don't know what Clarins have put in this concealer but my god, it's awesome! It's super pigmented and offers a full coverage that will cover everything! The texture is a creamy liquid; it's slightly thicker than the other two concealers but it's in no way cakey. In fact, it has a smoothing texture; blurring any fine lines. The shade is beautiful.. I think it's available in three different colours but each shade has a slight light diffusing finish which really brightens the under eye. I use this concealer all over, where ever I need some extra coverage. It's so easy to blend and stays in place all day even without powder... A little really does go a long way, the tube lasts easily 4-5 months. One thing.. If your thinking of trying this, make sure you buy the correct one. Clarins have two concealers with pretty much the same name. Just remember its the one in the tube (pictured above) RRP £22.00
