New concealer trial




I love concealer!! I love contouring and highlighting the face. I really feel like those steps really prep your application for the perfect canvas.


I am always up for trying new stuff and I always get excited trying concealers and mascaras (they're just some of the favorite things!) I have been pretty in love with the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I like to try new products every time I run out of something because I always want to try another one out so I can blog about it but the past few times I've ran out of concealer I've always gone back and gotten this one. It has been a great, consistent product. Here's some of my favorites.


Another great consistent products I use for concealer is the CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Corrector. It's a yellow cream concealer to help cover up any discoloration in the skin. I put this on first, after my foundation, and I apply it on my under eyes, around my nose and on my chin. You can really apply it wherever you need a little evening out. I have used this stuff for years and haven't really tried another type because I feel there's no need to I love it so much! This is about $10 and will last a very long time!! After I apply this I put the Fit Me concealer on, or whatever concealer I'm trying at the time.


When I use the Fit Me concealer, I usually mix the light and fair for my eyes and then just use the light shade everywhere else. I like to mix because for my blemishes and shaded areas I like to use a color that matches my skin tone exactly, but for the eyes I like a little lighter so that's why I like to add the fair to the light. It works great for my pale skin. These run about $5.


Now on to a higher-end concealer. I LOVE La Mer's concealer!! It is one of the best!! You know what? It might be the best! It is so rich and creamy and doesn't get in all the creases and never gets flakey! I hate when concealer gets dry on you! You're trying to conceal something!!! Leaving a dry area really draws more attention to that area! So, this stuff covers really well and it gives a great finish! This costs about $70 and a very teeny bit will go a long way!! I'm timing mine out to see how long it lasts.


Now back to a lower-end option. It's no La Mer but if you're on a budget this one is pretty impressive so far! It's Sonia Kashuk All Covered Up Concealer Pot and it's about $10. It is really nice so far. I still want to get two colors for myself just to work with the eyes and the face but the coverage is nice and the texture feels great!! I will say it's a very small amount! So I'm curious to see how long it will last. I just bought it this week so I'm curious to see how long it lasts. I'll keep you updated!!
