Bloody Eye Bags & Concealers

I've tried so many concealers to try and hide my dark circles so I thought id give a little run down of the goodies and the not so goods. I've marked each one out of six hearts JUST for under the eyes. As i try news ones i will expand this list.

MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer ♥♥♥♥

This is very thick and creamy and if i want extra coverage i put this under my foundation so its not so thick and cakey. It does settle in the lines a little but its not so bad. I do prefer this one on blemishes to be honest as it covers perfectly. (Review here)

MAC Studio Finish Concealer ♥

 

I find this rubbish under my eyes, it has no staying power and it quite tough to pat on and you end up pulling your eye around. Its quite drying too so its a no no for me. Its ok-ish on blemishes but it doesn't last that long so i usually forget about this concealer and leave it at the bottom of my makeup bag.

 

MAC Moisture Cover ♥♥♥♥♥♥


This is probably my favourite mac concealer for under the eye area, I do find it is very moisturising - true to its name. It blends in nicely and you don't have to tug your eye to blend it (review here)

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer ♥♥♥♥

I only got this very recently but it is growing on me. The first time i used it i though 'oh no, i don't like it!' but i carried on using it and its getting a but more creamier now! I found it really hard to blend in under my eye but it must be getting softer as its easier now. I usually put this on last once I've put all my other make up on and set it with a little bit of powder and it seems to do a good job.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer ♥

 

This isn't a bad concealer but i just don't seam to reach for it when i do my make up. I find that this and the moisture cover are too runny for covering blemishes and i prefer the others for under my eyes. I find that this sticks to my dry patches after awhile but its not a bad concealer overall.

YSL Touch Eclat ♥♥♥

I love this, I don't think that it covers brilliantly but i like the brightening effect it gives and i usually put this on after my moisture cover for extra brightening. It is a highlighter and not a concealer after all.

Benefit Erase Paste ♥♥♥♥

 

This has grown on me too, I wasn't keen at first but I find if I put this on first and then another one over the top then it works well. Its also great for right in the the corner of your eye, I use it here every day without fail. (review here)

YSL Touché Éclat Foundation Review and Swatch

In BD20

 

I had to try this as I love the Touch Éclat highligher and I thought this must behave in the same way.

 

Firstly I should mention that I have the most sensitive skin ever! I get super dry skin due to eczema and it’s very easily irritated :(.

 

  I've got to say that I love love love this foundation, its A-mazing!! It's my favourite foundation I have ever used, I've used it every single day since I bought it and I haven't had a reaction or broken out.

I purchased this in BD20 which it a slightly more yellow-y colour so it cancels out my redness a bit and I absolutely love it. It doesn't have fragrance either which is a massive bonus for me!

It doesn't dry my skin out like most other foundations and in fact I think it may actually help to keep my skin hydrated. I applied this first thing this morning after moisturising and my skin still feels soft and not rough and dry as it usually would when I wear foundation.

The packaging is lovely too, very posh. As you can see from the picture the bottle is glass with gold writing on the side and a gold lid. It is quite a heavy bottle so this may be a downside if you’re carrying it around with you? Saying that, I have dropped this and it didn't smash so I think it deserves a few brownie points for that.

 

I can't recommend this foundation enough, it’s my favourite by far and I have tried a lot of different foundations!!
