Hi everyone!
I am in the process of trying to find my holy grail under eye concealer & thought the best way to keep track and compare my thoughts would be to do it on my blog. I have inherited my Grandad’s darkness under the eyes, which are also dry. I use the La Roche-Posay hydrating eye cream at night which I have found really helps this.
So the first concealer I will be looking at is Estee Lauder’s Disappear Smoothing Creme Concealer in the shade 02-Light, which I purchased from Debenhams for £17.50.
This concealer comes in three shades, light, medium & dark and claims to ‘disguise dark circles, lines and shadows. Soothes, moisturises and protects.’ It has a creamy consistency with good coverage & staying power.
Using the Real Techniques Deleux Crease Brush, I apply by placing two dots either side of my eye, followed by a third at the corner of my nose. I blend these to create a triangle. I have found this to be the most effective method of application as it blends the concealer nicely into foundation (I’m currently using the Bourjor Healthy Mix Serum in 51 and find the colour matches well). I avoid setting with powder as I find this causes the concealer to cake throughout the day & makes fine lines more noticeable.
Here are some pictures to show the concealers wear throughout the day:
