The Drugstore Concealer Roundup.

Concealers may not be as exciting as choosing among the variety of eyeshadows, lipsticks, blushes, etc., but that doesn't mean there's nothing to appreciate in the plethora of finishes and coverages of concealers on the market. In fact, concealer is perhaps the most important complexion product for me as I even it as my foundation sometimes. I've amassed a selection of concealers throughout my hunt for the perfect one and while I do indeed have a favourite, each of these do offer something different that you may be interested in depending on your preferences and needs.

          

This is my all-time favourite concealer, hands down: the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. It's one of those products that offer buildable coverage, yet appears very natural and flattering on the skin and imparts a satin look to the skin. So, it basically gives you perfected skin, but in a way that looks like your skin is naturally perfect. The consistency is quite liquid-y and moisturizing, but actually does its job effectively and lasts long on the skin. This is the concealer that I even sometimes use as a foundation for all over the face, but is also equally effective for blemishes and brightness. 

The CoverGirl Ready, Set, Gorgeous! Concealer is not one of my favourites, but one that I do use from time to time. I don't prefer to use it for acually concealing or for large areas on the face; if I do, it looks very dry on my skin. However, due to the thick and bright shade (it's the brightest shade of concealer I own), I do use it for very specific and precise areas such as cleaning up the edges of brows or the edge of my eye to clean up my eyeshadow. I find that it suffices for that, but it's not one that I would re-purchase. 

This is probably one of the most mentioned drugstore concealers in the beauty world which makes it a case of "YouTube made me buy it", but it's also an example of an overrated product. The Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer is the thickest - and most yellow - concealer I own which makes it quite unforgiving as it doesn't melt into the skin in a seamless and natural-looking way. However, if you've noticed the lack of product left in the tube, it's because I've actually been loving using it as an eyeshadow primer as it creates a more solid and opaque base for my eyelids. Perhaps I will repurchase it as an eyeshadow primer - it sure beats the Urban Decay Primer Potion!

The Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer is quite a high-coverage concealer, but I that I absolutely love the look and feel of. It gives me quite an intense coverage which is why I usually reserve it for when I really need it (i.e. dark undereyes or extreme redness), but simultaneously looks incredibly natural and light on the skin. That's a rare combination, but one I immensely appreciate. This is definitely one I cherish in my makeup collection.
