Concealer Tips, Tricks, Alternative Uses and Some of my Picks

Today's post will be slightly different and concentrate more on the tips parts than the review parts, but fret not, at the end I'll be telling some of my higher and drugstore favs.

Now it’s common knowledge that concealer is used to cover up blemishes, marks or pigmentation and a warm toned one will do wonders for your eye circles. But we’ll discuss how we can use concealer in other ways to chisel the effect of you makeup.

How I Cover my Under Eye Circles

Just like so many women out there, I suffer from extreme darkness under my eyes. Reasons range from lack of sleep to sinusitis to plain old genetics.

Literally no amount of used tea bags,  potato and cucumber slices, huge array of under eye creams or any other magical concoction has done jack to alleviate the issue.

The only thing to do then is to take help from concealers, but not simply concealers but correctors to be more precise.

Its pretty simple really:

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer

A product that claims that it corrects, highlights and conceals...a dream product indeed!! It's a tall claim...does it live up to it?

Shade 310 Radiant

When I bought this I was thinking okay, so here is a product, that if it actually does what it says, would be a magic wand for me due to the darkness and pigmentation issues I have. I knew it would do little for my panda like under eye circles, but then again, I have yet to come across some product that would fix that to my liking. However, with some extra TLC around those circles, this pen actually did do most of what it claimed.

Garnier BB Cream and Garnier Roll-on Anti-darkcircles Concealer

Ah the magic of beauty balms a.k.a. BB creams. The tech from the Orient that took on a fan base of epic proportions. A tinted moisturizer with added skin benefits...what more could a girl want. But there are so many and though it could be said they are simply glorified tinted moisturizers, I'm still partial to this particular one by Garnier which is perhaps the most famous of them all and side by side, its trusty sidekick the Anti-dark circles Roll-on Concealer.

The Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream and the Roll-on Concealer

Price: Both are easily available for about 25 to 35 UAE Dhs. Pretty good price for 2.5 fluid ounces which more than twice your average foundation amount and for the Roll-on which is .50 fluid ounces..also not bad.
