I suffer from terrible dark under eye circles that have been kindly passed down to me by my mother (thanks for those) and I’m also at that age where I have fine (some not so fine) lines under my eyes so finding a concealer that doesn’t crease too much has been a bit of a mission. I also use concealer to cover some redness around my nose & on one of my cheeks. I thought I would share with you a few concealers from my collection that I’ve been reaching for on a regular basis.

Garnier Eye Roll – On Anti Dark Circles – This concealer has a  roller ball applicator and it feels so cooling on the skin. I wasn’t sure if I liked this at first but I have grown to really like it & now use it daily. Its crazy to think this has lasted me over a year & like I said I use it daily. The product is quite a runny consistency so you can use just a small amount of product & even though it is runny it has a great colour pay off & it covers my redness & blemishes. I do sometimes use this under my eyes too just to counteract the blue under my eyes & even out my skin tone.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles – I only have love for this product, it brightens my under eye like no other & makes me look awake. I use this either on its own or for the days I use the Garnier Roll-On under my eye I will go over the inner corners with this just to brighten them slightly. I do need to really hydrate that area first as this can dry almost to a powder finish on me & that just sits in my fine lines.

I didn’t think the sponge applicator was going to work well for me at first but it is a good way of not applying too much product. I tend to dab the sponge where I need the product then I go in with a tapered brush to even out the coverage and make sure its sitting right on my skin. It’s great at illuminating & covering darkness, I always travel with this, its so handy to have in your makeup bag.

I have a love hate relationship with this Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit, as the Creamy Concealer part hates me with a passion & I can’t get it to work on my under eye area at all. It creases so badly and after a couple of hours it looks oily on me so I’m sad to say that side of the kit is left unloved. The powder however I’ve rediscovered in a bid to get my money’s worth from at least half of this duo. The pressed powder is in the shade pale yellow and I have been using it along with my Bobbi Brown brush to set my under eye concealer and its been doing a great job. It is a finely milled sheer powder that helps set the concealer & absorbs the oil throughout the day. I wish I’d bought the powder by itself but you live & learn. I do like the packaging of this & the handy little mirror for touchups on the go. When it eventually runs out (it seems like its lasting forever) I will buy only the powder.

What concealers are you using at the moment? Also if you have any tips for getting the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer to work I’d love to know. Seems such a shame to waste it.
