Under eye concealer & foundation recommendations

14 replies

Hi!
Could do with some recommendations for under eye concealer. I’ve been using Charlotte Tilbury retoucher which is amazing but £££ and before I commit to buying another, are there any good alternatives either cheaper or in a similar bracket? Naturally quite dark skin under eyes but I’m very fair so something which does a light shade and not too heavy as I’m starting to get a few fine lines.
Also- any recommendations for a good foundation suitable for combintion skin (dry but gets greasy) which give a light/medium coverage? TIA.

Have a look at Pampered Wolf makeup videos on YouTube, she tests a lot of foundations and concealers and is very honest in her reviews.

I had ysl touche eclat. Not impressed. I have now discovered bourjois cc cream (cc cream, not concealer ), works brilliantly for dark circles and any face imperfections

I like urban decay naked skin concealer

I got the Estée Lauder double wear concealer omg it’s amazing.
Iv heard good things about the catrice one.

The Charlotte Tilbury magic concealer. It’s still £££ but I prefer it to the retoucher. The applicator isn’t the best tho

Tarte Shape Tape (but apply it with a damp beauty blender) - amazing stuff!

Have you tried the Collection concealer at Boots? For £4 I was dead impressed.

I’ve got very dark circles on fair skin and it works a treat on them. I’ll be repurchasing for sure.

Max Factor Radiant Lift... brightens the undereye very nicely. Also, Bourgeois Radiance Reveal. I recently tried a sample of both and they’re light and eye opening.

I really like the Revlon photo ready foundation and concealer - it's heavier than what I usually wear for daytime makeup but it actually gives an airbrushed effect to my skin which I love.

It's not a concealer but I use Benefit shy beam to brighten up my undereye and for concealer I like the Revolution conceal and define.

I second the revolution one, I wasn’t expecting to be impressed but it will definitely be one I re purchase. It’s £4 I’m Superdrug

Another vote for the Collection concealer!

Lelivre · 11/01/2019 20:49

I quite like the revolution stick foundation as it doesn’t settle in lines and pores and put on with a beauty blender and a bit of powder and fixing spray it stays well too. The concealer I can’t fault either. It’s hard not to put too much on with the wand being the size it is. The best thing about both is the price.

Thank you for all the recommendations!
