Concealer comparisons

Hey y’all!

Okay, today I’ll show you around the 3 concealers I received as a part of Lisa Eldridge’s giveaway.

Le me without any concealer

I have a pretty bad problem with dark circles and it’s a genetics thing and it can get even worst when I am sleep-deprived or really stressed. I don’t think the pictures are doing enough justice, the circles are pretty gruesome in real life in my opinion.

But here are my current saviours..

Bobby Brown Creamy concealer kit in Ivory

On the left is the concealer (oh, really??) and on the right is yellowish setting powder.

So, left side is concealed, right one isn’t as you can probably tell.

The first time I mentioned this I was not impressed. Mostly, I think it was because I used it with the powder that’s in the box and that just makes it look light and pasty. Once I use it with my SUQQU Loose Nuancing powder, which is much more finely milled, it looks a lot better.

So this has become my most used under eye concealer because it has the best coverage, stays on nicely and well that’s just it I guess.

Once you apply it, it seems to look a bit dewy, I think, but add a little powder and you are good to go. Currently I apply it with both, fingers and a domed eye shadow brush to buff it out.

In my opinion the powder in the right is a bit off. And I have two good reasons to call it “a bit off”- firstly, it is a pressed powder and looks a bit cakey and secondly, it’s even lighter than the concealer so maybe if you get the concealer exactly the shade of your skin, it will look ok. But aren’t you supposed to buy the under eye concealer a shade lighter?

In that dilemma I will move on..

Vichy Dermablend Foundation Stick in 12 Opal

Don’t know if you can make the subtle difference, but to me Bobby Brown conceals a bit better. I don’t use it that much, as it’s a bit too light. Otherwise I’d try to cover up my 2 zit scars with this.

I mean Lisa Eldridge did her Acne covering video with Vichy Dermablend, so you can really see for yourself that it is a brilliant foundation/concealer.

Some people have said that it doesn’t stay on for too long, but I have not really noticed it on my under eyes.

Lierac Diopti Cerne

This one has the lightest coverage and I use it on more relaxed days or after my fitness classes when I just fill in my brows a bit and cover a bit of dark circles.

It’s supposed to be an eye cream as well, I think. But you really cannot apply this on dry under eyes, you have to use primer or moisturiser beforehand, otherwise it will end up patchy.

Doesn’t have any problems with staying power. It just dries up on your under eyes,  melts into your skin and looks and feels just like a regular eye cream.

I ran a bit late with this review as I.L.U has 20% off of these in November as well as all other Lierac products since they were just introduced to the market.

And if you want to learn more about dark circles or under eye puffiness just click on the links I added and you will see Lisa Eldridge’s videos.

Tell me if it annoys you when I add her videos. She’s pretty much the only make-up artist I trust on YouTube and I have really studied her videos so I always have one to recommend : D. And she’s just brilliant and her knowledge of make-up will leave you in awe if you haven’t checked her out already.

I really appreciate it if you reached until the end : D and I hope it was somewhat helpful. If you have any questions or comments be sure to let me know.

With love,
