Agree about the sponge size Holly.

hollyisalovelyname · 13/11/2016 10:52

Chardonnay did they not trial it first?
It's not rocket science - the under eye area is very small so a very small sponge is needed.
Such a shame because it is such a great product.
Maybelline are you listening ?
Halve the size of the sponge and you have the best concealer on the market !!!

Nyx, the orange tinted one. Makes me look human.

FrickOnAStick · 13/11/2016 10:57

The no.7 touche eclat dupe in the lightest shade. Not for you if you have lots of darkness but perfect for adding a bit of lift without caking or looking like a reverse raccoon.

Charlotte Tilbury - The Retouchet concealer! It's fabulous! Although tempted to try Aldi too.

Bingybongybashy · 13/11/2016 10:59

The Retoucher

Thissameearth · 13/11/2016 11:04

Garnier rollerball. I think it has eye cream as well as concealer in the one. I tried touché eclat years ago as it was the the thing and didn't like it. Didn't like the brush (try to get a rollerball application - it can itself depuff your eye and it is quicker, easier and smoother to apply than a brush or a stick so needs less patting and dragging and general buggering about with you under eye area....and thus hopefully less wrinkles which you then need to conceal Grin) or 2) the actual formulation/coverage. I have therefore never understood how it gets raved about but then everyone's different.

Bingybongybashy · 13/11/2016 11:04

Me again! I use Clinique colour corrector underneath it too! It's excellent for taking the darkness away then The Retoucher to lighten the area! X X

Maybeline super stay 24 hour concealer, also their age rewind with the sponge as PP have said.

Barry M do a good one but you have to work quickly with it!

I have horrendous under eye circles and find these are better than many high end ones I've tried over the years

If your very dry the Bare Minerals Bare Skin is great. Very moisturising and brightening. Urban Decay Naked is pretty good too

AlexaTwoAtT · 13/11/2016 16:01

Touche Eclat is a highlighter.

acceptnothing · 13/11/2016 16:38

I use the BB corrector too, the biggest difference to the staying power I've found it to apply with a brush.

bluebeck · 13/11/2016 16:43

I used to use Touche Eclat but became suddenly allergic to it - skin went all pink and flaky. I thought maybe it had gone "off" so bought a new one, but the same thing happened - apparently tis very common Sad

I used a Benefit one for a while but don't bother now - wear my specs more and they cover the worst of it Grin

rightknockered · 13/11/2016 16:45

I use the Nars one

Beautifullymixed · 13/11/2016 17:23

The maybelline eye eraser concealer.
This is now my holy grail product. After years of cakey, dry, or wrong colour matches, I have now found this!
The colour nude suits my mixed race skin perfectly, the texture is a dream to blend anywhere you apply it. It doesn't oxidise on me, doesn't go dry or flaky either. I adore the sponge and the click Grin

With finding my perfect foundation colour this year also (no7) , at forty four years old - I now have the perfect colour matches.
No more orange or ghostly white faces for me. I will stick to this concealer like glue!

SuperPug · 13/11/2016 17:25

Bobbi Brown- sand / yellow - very good coverage with powder. Use a primer underneath.
Erase Paste (Benefit)- great but can go into wrinkles, I probably don't apply it directly.
Touché Eclat- good but use minimally, colours are a bit off for me.

SuperPug · 13/11/2016 17:26

*correctly not directly - phone keyboard.

teacher54321 · 13/11/2016 17:28

Boing concealer from benefit is really very good.

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 13/11/2016 17:28

Benefit Erase Paste. Amazing stuff.

Beautifullymixed · 13/11/2016 17:42

Forgot to say that the maybelline eye eraser has yellow undertones. This suits me, and appealed to me when reading reviews. I love it!

Ladyformation · 13/11/2016 18:08

Touche Eclat for me too - it's the only thing I wear on my skin (as yet...)

CointreauVersial · 13/11/2016 23:50

Another vote for the Rimmel one with the orange lid - Wake Me Up Concealer I think it's called. I borrowed some off DD1 when Ieft mine behind on holiday, and was instantly converted - I got home and chucked my old one in the bin!

fauxhito · 14/11/2016 08:57

Maybelline master conceal.

Jointhejoyrun75 · 14/11/2016 09:33

Lancome anticernes. It's in a small tube and you apply with your finger. It is very light and good for dry skin and doesn't settle in fine lines. It also lasts forever.
