All Purpose Concealers

Hello ladies …

Can a kind soul recommend a fantastic all purpose concealer?? … one that’s also excellent for undereye circles …

I wear zero makeup … yea even at parties (but i’m trying to change that! :)) … so my fund of makeup knowledge is limited to whatever i’ve been reading of GS … n yea i’ve read the threads on foundations and illuminizers and whatnots … but thats just left me befuddled and lets be honest .. a little scared … plus I havn’t come across a thread specifically for concealers
so all ye ladies in the know … come forth and educate the rest of us!

muchas gracias to all those to respond (appropriately) :wink:

Re: All Purpose Concealers

Dior Skinflash!! Perfect for undereyes, light blemishes and highlighting.

If you have some darker marks you probably need something heavier in conjunction with it.

Re: All Purpose Concealers

^ I love that stuff!!! THank you stoppit!

Re: All Purpose Concealers

^have you tried using it to highlight your upper lip? unless you already have pouty lips, try it!

Re: All Purpose Concealers

What do you mean? Like actually put the Skinflash ON my upper lip?

like, do some feathery strokes just above your upper lip line around the central 2/3 (concentrating a bit more in the cupids bow) and blend it in well. when you're going to be wearing lipstick/lipgloss of course. you can probably find a tutorial on youtube!

Makeup Forever concealers..lots of colors to select from. Highly pigmented, stay-put for hours! Easy to blend too!

Re: All Purpose Concealers

Thank you very much ladies ... Much appreciated!

Two quick questions ...
1. Can a concealer double as foundation (tiny bit mixed in with moisturizer)?
2. A colleague mentioned Benefits erase paste and something called boi-ing? ... any good?

Re: All Purpose Concealers

^i recently got my first concealer.. by makeup forever and it is AMAZING. i love their stuff.

i love my bobbi brown concealor kit!
it's amazing
and i think i might try the dior flash as well
didn't like the makeupforever concealor too much

A concealer is meant for scars/blemishes and can't be used as an overall foundation. If u have a few blemishes u may just apply u're concealer and go over u're face with a pressed-powder.

Thanks again!
I guess i better look into foundations/illuminziers too then ..

BTW Gina, where is lession 2 of your makeup for dummies??? ... i quite liked it ... do continue if you have the time.
ermm you may want to skip foundations though, there's plenty on that ... but the rest .. yea i sure need it.

^Soon Inshallah :)

Re: All Purpose Concealers

there is one Estee Lauder concealer which I absolutely adore, something illuminator. i'll check the name :=)

very similar to the dior skinflash i recommended above. try both, you’ll definitely like one of them; these products are make-up kit staples. if you have pretty good skin one of these and pressed powder are all you need.

Re: All Purpose Concealers

i have a quick question..is the concealer supposed to be the same shade as your skin or shades lighter or darker?

Re: All Purpose Concealers

btw..is it different for undereyes and different for pimples and blemishes on other parts on the face?

Re: All Purpose Concealers

becca duo concealor...they have SO many shades and the compact has one light coverage concealor and one heavy coverage one. its my baby.

Pakipari, a concealer for the under-eye area is different from the ones used on blemishes.. :) one contains yellow undertones while the other contains pink undertones to neutralize the blue of the under-eye region.

thats the one! Thanks. I use this for under eyes and on blemishes/spot marks and it is perfect!
