Happy Tuesday!
There are few things in this world that I love more than life itself and concealer would definitely rank as a number one. Lets just say, during the question of "what is the one thing you would bring if you were deserted on an island," I seriously contemplate saying concealer, but the judging would be on another level.
Some say to never leave the house without mascara, but with my darker features, my dark circles frighten small children (dramatic) -- so I load up on concealer.
Anyways, I have searched high and low and kissed some frogs in order to find these top five picks. My main criteria is always that my concealer must be thick and opaque.
Here are my favorites (the colors may not be accurate):
 |
| Laura Mercier secret camouflage (here) is amazing! This is my number one concealer because of the coverage I get. I know, I know.. a little pricey, but a little goes a long way. I have had my compact for months and can't get enough. |
 |
| Smashbox high definition concealer (here) was my first high brand concealer. I love the texture of it -- it is so smooth and creamy. The coverage is great for blemishes. There are a lot of colors too, so its simpler to find your perfect shade. |
 |
| Maybelline Dream Lumi (here) is my favorite drug store concealer. The salmon color works wonders on dark spots and under eye circles. The texture and coverage is fantastic for a drugstore product. I have bought this more than five times. My only critique would be that it doesn't last. I'm not sure if its the clicking packaging that makes the product go by so quickly, but its usually on-sale, so stock up! |
 |
| L'Oreal Paris True Match Crayon Concealer (here) is new to my collection. I love how easy this product is to apply to the under eye and I even us it to highlight my cupid's bow and my bridge of my nose. I bought a darker crayon and use it for contouring my cheek bones and jawline. Just remember to blend, blend, blend. I would recommend these products to someone who isn't sure about highlighting/contouring and is just starting out. It is a great first product! |
 |
| I use L'Oreal Magic Lumi (here) in conjunction with the salmon Dream Lumi (above) to get a more highlighted look. This is a great option for covering blemishes and getting a lighter under eye. |
There are the options I have been using for years. I am always looking for other concealers to try. What do you use? Comment below or follow my on twitter at @emilymekstan.
