Rimmel Edition 2 In 1 Concealer Pot 140 Medium COSRIM756

Product Information

Application: How easy was it to apply the concealer? How would you rate the comfort and functionality of the applicator?

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser ( available at Target) comes in a tube with a sponge-tipped applicator. That makes application messier and seemingly less hygienic. Coverage: Great coverage is a must when it comes to under-eye concealers, especially if you’re trying to mask dark circles or you're going for a full-glam look. The Tarte Shape Tape Concealer and the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Longwear Liquid Concealer both offer great full coverage. If you're looking to achieve a more natural or minimal makeup look, choose a formula that has light-to-medium buildable coverage. Why we love it: The Bobbi Brown Skin Full Cover Concealer combines high coverage with a lightweight feel. It's long-lasting, too, with a staying power of up to 16 hours. And don't even get us started on how great it is at covering up imperfections without appearing cakey. A favourite among makeup artists. We even tested it ourselves and loved the results. This concealer from Smashbox is fine but not memorable. It looked good with just one swipe under my eyes, but I put a little extra on to cover some blueness that still showed through one layer. A good concealer sits nicely on the skin, pairs well with skincare products like eye cream and other makeup, and stays put throughout the day. Of the 31 products we tested, the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer

Many concealers make my dry-leaning skin look powdery and just plain unnatural. This looked good whether I left it bare or set it down with powder, and it stayed all day. That said, it settled into my fine lines a little more than the Tarte concealer. Tarte's best-selling Shape Tape concealer has long been a Team Byrdie fave, so it's no surprise it earned high praise from our testers across the board. Three editors tested this formula, and each of them gave it perfect scores for its texture, staying power, coverage, and creasing. We found that the matte formula creates a smooth finish that doesn't crease or emphasize fine lines. The coverage is full and buildable, meaning it works to cover dark circles and hyperpigmentation beautifully. We also appreciate that it comes in nearly forty shades that range from very fair to very dark and vary in undertone. Hi, I'm Jessica, former lifestyle writer and resident beauty expert at Reviewed. In high school, I dealt with cystic acne that left behind hyperpigmentation and uneven texture. Because of this, I often reached for full-coverage foundations and concealers that could essentially make my face a blank canvas for any other makeup I wanted to apply. Waterproof concealers are a good option for hot weather or enjoying a day by the water. There are also concealers that contain a small amount of sunscreen, usually SPF 15 to 30. This is a good way to protect blemishes and hyperpigmentation from the damaging effects of the sun. Concealer prices Both the hydrating and matte formulas [leave a] beautiful finish, are pigmented, and have great coverage for acne and dark spots," explains makeup artist Lennie Billie. "I would definitely say that the matte formula is better for combo and oily skin, and the hydrating one for normal to dry skin." Either way, you're getting full coverage and a long-wear formula, which sounds like a win-win to us.

This creamy formula was one of our favorite concealers we tested, thanks to the buildable, full coverage it provides. Just a few dots are all you need to brighten dark circles, cancel out discoloration, and fake a more awake-looking appearance. We loved that it didn't crease or migrate around, though we noticed that it did emphasize a bit of texture and dryness, so be sure to moisturize the area before application. We also enjoyed using the semi-large doe-foot applicator—it felt soft, was a nice shape to apply the product in the eye area, and was large enough that we didn't need to keep re-dipping into the tube. You don’t want to have to reapply your concealer throughout the day. The best formulas will provide longwear coverage. To prevent fading or creasing, always set your concealer with powder. If you have dry skin, try only setting the areas where you concealed and leaving the rest of your face powder-free. Why we love it: With skincare ingredients like vitamin E and caffeine, this concealer from YSL is the ideal option for covering up dark spots and blemishes. It applies sheer-to-medium coverage and looks natural on your skin.Despite CoverGirl offering the same quantity of colors as Tarte, this shade range could use an extra option in the tan and deep categories. There are eight shades in the light and medium categories, and seven shades in the tan and deep ones. Additionally, it would be easier to choose a shade if the names were reminiscent of the undertones, like Tarte’s. Still, our panelists felt that they received shades close enough to create a cohesive makeup look.
