Which Concealer?






These are my current four concealers (don't worry I don't use them all at once!) I have the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer, Collection Lasting Perfection. Body Shop Tea Tree Concealer and the Smashbox 24 hour CC Spot Cocealer.

My favourite out of these 4 is probably the Collection Lasting perfection Concealer, even though its one of the cheapest of the four, I prefer to the Smashbox one (which is a LOT more expensive btw). Although I prefer to use the Rimmel Wake Me Up under my eyes.





The Rimmel wake me up is a cheap drugstore concealer, but I personally love it! <3 It's really nice and lightweight and is sooo good under the yes for concealing those pesky dark circles. This one has rubbed off, but is in the shade Light Porcelain and has pretty much run out :(, I will be eventually repurchasing once I need to !



My second concealer is the Collection lasting perfection concealer. This is another drugstore concealer around the £4 mark. This is AMAZING for covering blemishes and pretty good under the eyes, you just have to make sure it doesn't look too cakey, my perfect duo is this on blemishes and redness, with Wake Me Up under my eyes. This says it should last 15/16 hours ( its rubbed off and I can't tell which :(! )  I haven't worn it that long, but it always lasts along as I want it to as long as I powder it ( I use the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in the fairest shade). I think this is an excellent concealer and wil continue to repurchase it as long as it exists!







This is more of a high end concealer at £20 (I think that's pretty ridiculous tbh), yes it is very good at concealing blemishes, but so is the Collection one! It is VERY hard to blend in with a brush and still quite hard with your finger. I think the amount you get for £20 is not particularly good, but you do literally only need to use a dot, a lot smaller than the size of your spot. I have the shade fair, and I think they have a good variety of colours. I think this may be worth it if you suffer from bad acne if you have the time and patience to blend into every spot individually, as if you do it right they become almost invisible ( I haven't quite managed that yet, but the lady in the shop literally vanished my spots!) I do think its over priced - but then its a high end brand so that's to be expected.


My final concealer I the Body Shop teat tree concealer. This is in a solid 'stick' form which isn't my favourite, but I haven't really been able to use it anyway. this is because the colour is too dark. I probably would've realised this if I had bought it myself but it was a gift. It's in the lightest shade 01, but still looks too dark and orangey on my skin. if I was able to use it, it may help my skin in terms of spots as its part of their tea tree skin-clearing range, but the colour range is too dark unfortunately :(

Altogether I think the two drugstore concealers are the best( although I can't really do a proper review on the Body Shop one) and I would recommend them most.
