Concealer Hunt!

For the past few months I have been on the hunt for a concealer to use on my under eye circles. In this time I have purchase 3 concealers. Unfortunately they do not seem to be working for me. I am going to share with you the concealers that I purchased and my thoughts about them. 

1. Hard Candy Nobody's Perfect Concealer Palette 




  • I purchased this concealer palette at Walmart for $8.00. I chose the color "fair" because the colors in the "medium" palette looked like they were going to be way to dark for my skin. This palette comes with 3 skin tone concealers and 3 color correcting concealers: pink, yellow and green. The color I use in this palette is the first skin tone color on the left. The other two are way too light. This is the first time I had ever purchased color correcting concealers. These concealers are creamy and the color I use matches my skin tone pretty well. However the problem arises when I try to conceal my under eye circles. It cakes really bad under my eyes and makes my fine lines even more noticeable. This could either be because it is just not a good concealer for dry skin or I am just not applying it correctly. If you own this concealer palette how do you guys apply this concealer to your under eyes?
2. Hard Candy Glamoflauge heavy duty concealer


  • I also purchased the Glamoflauge concealer from Walmart for $6.00. It comes with a concealer pencil. When I was picking my shade I was stuck between "medium" and "tan". I thought that "medium" was going to work for my skin tone but when I got home and tried to apply it, it seemed to be a little too light. I thought that it would be okay considering that my under eye circles are pretty dark so it would help lighten them up but I wasn't able to get this concealer to blend well. I know that the "tan" shade will be way too dark. If they had a color in between "medium" and "tan" it would be perfect! If you own this concealer, how do you apply it under your eyes? I am still working with this one to see if I can get it to work with my skin. 
3. e.l.f. Studio Maximum Coverage Concealer - Oil Free


  • I purchased this on www.eyeslipsface.com for $3.00. You get A LOT of product for just $3.00, 0.7 fl oz. I purchased the color "beige" (shown above, picture taken from website). The swatch online was the PERFECT color match for my skin tone, but when it arrived I was pretty disappointed. The color was lighter than it appeared online and when I tried to use it under my eyes it just left a really bad grey cast under my eyes and it did not match my skin tone. Not attractive at all! If it wasn't for the misleading color I believe that this could potentially be a good concealer. With that said I am going to purchase the color "tan" which is the next shade darker. The online swatch looks like it is going to be too dark but if the true color is lighter than the online swatch like "beige" was, the color match should be pretty good. Have any of you guys used this concealer? If so, do you like it? 

These are the concealers that I have tried so far! I am still on the hunt for a good under eye concealers that works well with dry skin! I will keep you all updated on my concealer hunt as I try more concealers!

What are some of your favorite concealers?!
