So the horizon of drugstore concealers has been expanding beyond our belief these last few years. At the same time, more high end brands have become more accessible to the everyday makeup wearer. There are many highs and lows in the among the drugstore concealers and in this blog post we are pushing away the lows and bringing out the big guns, the highs. These four concealers have been raved about a great deal, most of us like them, But sometimes we must remind ourselves, WWKKD, what-would-Kim-K-do? She would only settle for the best of the best. So let's get started!
Maybelline Fit Me concealer
This has been claimed to be the drugstore dupe of the Nars creamy concealer. This concealer is very creamy indeed, has a reliable lasting effect and does not feel too heavy on the skin. This range of concealers has the largest range of different shades, compared to the others. It is very diverse and can be used as an under eye concealer as well as an invisibility cloak for those pesky pimples. Fit me is very everyday - almost a bit too much. Sometimes you want that extra oomph and this is not it. One thing I dislike about the product is the fact that the text on the packaging rubs off and sticks to your hands when you hold it. I consider this concealer to be a pimple-concealer. I would rate this a 5/10*.
Maybelline Eraser Eye under eye concealer
This baby blends with your skin like a dream. Do not be fooled by the light texture of the product, the coverage is hard to beat. It is an under eye concealer, but like anything makeup and its purpose it is more of a "if the shoe fits" sort of concept. Meaning that you can use it on the rest of your face, too. I always want something more cakey on my pimples so I would not do that personally. I have a quite agressive way of dealing with those demons. Back to the concealer now. The applicator is not your everyday dome foot. It is a sponge in which you twist up the product into and then apply to your face. Because the formula is so light and water-like, a dome-foot would not have worked, I think. Since it is so light it sits on the skin like a part of it, rather than a second layer. Love it! Rated 8/10
Lóreal Lumi Magique concealer
Two words; Touche Éclat. Although this one was not created by the Terry bomb, it is still tha bomb. The formula is light yet creamy, blendable yet visible and amazing yet fantistic. It gives you that Kardashian glow without the million layers of sculpting agents. It lasts for a thousand years on the skin and is so easy to apply. No tugging under the eyes needed here! Keep in mind that this is just for highlighting and your under eye area. If you put this on a blemish it will shine bright like a diamond, so let's just not. Not that many different shades of colour but since it is a highlight they soft of get away with it. Overall rating 8/10
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer
Wow this concealer looks really weird swatched. On my face it is not that dark at all. Or is it? I need more makeup-aware friends who will tell me when my makeup has gone wrong... However this concealer is not as bad as I just made it seem. It actually has great lasting power, not the claimed 16 hours but atleast 7-8! They don't have any dark shades, though. This concealer comes in four shades and they are all very, very light. The lightest one is known for being "the only concealer" amongst us pale people. During the summer I manage to bump up my complection to the second lightest shade! The formula is very thick and creamy and works wonders on covering up blemishes, but is too think for your under eyes. It can crease a bit if you put it there. The text on the tube rubs off really quick on this one, too and that is really awful, to be honest. If you are pale and need to cover up your face then this is the one for you! It is really good. 7/10
I hope you enjoyed this concealer showdown!
