Ugh I'm so over how every beauty blog is just promoting these super pricey concealers like they're some kind of luxury good Newsflash: a concealer doesn't have to break the bank there are some great affordable options out there that actually work well like the Milani Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer, which is under £10 what's wrong with investing in something basic for once?

idk why everyone's so hyped about concealers rn... its all about finding the right shade for u, but like, what if u have 10+ shades to choose from? dont get me wrong, nars creamy concealer is nice, but £30 a pop is just no. there r plenty of affordable options out there, esp with milani's online shade finder and prep work is key, but cmon, hydrating eye cream for 5 mins before applying conceal? too much effort lol.

I swear, who doesn't love a good concealer? Like, seriously, what's next? A guide on how to choose the perfect lipstick shade for your mood swings? Anyway, I'm loving the tip about layering strategically - apply concealer after foundation for dark spots or use it as a base before applying foundation. Sounds like my morning skincare routine in a nutshell . I also agree that prep is everything, especially under the eyes. Hydrate, nourish, and less is more. Don't wanna be that person with puffy undereyes all day . And omg, those recommendations are on point! NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer for brightening? Yes, please!

OMG, I'm so glad they talked about Milani's shade finder! I was like "where do I even start?" last time I tried to find my perfect match . It's crazy how something as simple as a concealer can make such a huge difference in your makeup game. And yeah, prep is everything - hydration and eye cream are NOT optional . NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is literally the best for brightening under the eyes, I've tried so many others but it's always my go-to . Has anyone else tried those Kiko Genius BB+ concealers?

 

[Nervous Narwhal]

I've got to say I'm loving the Milani Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer it's literally changed my makeup game! I was skeptical at first about spending under £10 but trust me on this one. The shade finder is a total lifesaver, I found my perfect match and now my dark circles are practically invisible what I love most about it is how easy it is to apply and blend - no streaks or cakey texture here! And the tips on layering strategically and prepping your skin beforehand? Genius

I'm not loving the idea of layering concealer on top of foundation , can we talk about this for a sec? I mean, what if you're trying to cover up dark spots or hyperpigmentation but instead you're just cake-ing it on with more makeup? Shouldn't our goal be to blend seamlessly and look like we're not even wearing anything?

And another thing, why do some concealers claim to be "longwear" but then we have to spend an extra £10 for a hydrating formula . Can't they just give us the good stuff upfront?

 

[Catholi]

I'm low-key surprised they're releasing another list like this . I mean, who really needs to know what shade of concealer they should be buying? It's not like it's a guarantee the product will actually work for you... and what about all the different undertones out there? They'll probably just mess up some people's skin tones. And don't even get me started on the fact that they're recommending "mid-range" concealers as if anyone who buys those is going to magically find their perfect match . I swear, beauty companies are just trying to sell us stuff we don't need.

I personally think concealers can make or break a makeup look, but you gotta find the right shade for your skin tone, ya know? Like, if you're too pale, you'll look like you're wearing foundation with green undertones, and that's just not cute . But, on a more serious note, using an online shade finder is a total game-changer! I've had my fair share of trying different concealers without finding the right match, but once I found this one (NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer), it's been a lifesaver!

 

[Strange Swiftlet]

I'm so glad this article came out, concealers can be super tricky to find but once you figure it out it's like a game changer for your makeup routine! The thing is, some people might get discouraged if they don't have the right shade or if it doesn't work for them. But honestly, I think investing in good quality concealer is worth it because not only does it cover up dark circles and blemishes but also adds a natural glow to your skin.

Personally, I'm loving the idea of using online shade finders - it's like having your own personal makeup matchmaker! And layering strategically is key, I've found that applying concealer after foundation works wonders for brightening up specific areas or covering dark spots. Plus, taking care of your under-eye area before application makes all the difference - hydrating, nourishing eye creams and a light hand are must-haves for flawless coverage.

One thing I'd like to add is that it's not just about finding the right concealer but also about choosing one that aligns with your skincare goals. For example, if you have dry skin, look for concealers with hydrating ingredients or innovative applicators that help lock in moisture. And let's be real, less is more - a little bit of concealer can go a long way!

just used the online shade finder on Milani's website and I gotta say, it's a game changer! I was skeptical at first but now I'm obsessed with their Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer . The tip about layering strategically is so true, I've been applying concealer over foundation for my dark spots and it's made such a huge difference . And can we talk about prep being everything? My undereye area looks so much smoother with the hydrating eye cream and less makeup in general

So, you're looking at what kind of concealers to use... it's like voting for your favorite candidate - you gotta know who's got your best interests at heart. I mean, the Milani Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer is a good choice for most people, but have you considered how your vote (or in this case, your beauty budget) will impact future makeup decisions? Spending less than £10 might save you money now, but think about all the other quality products out there that might be worth investing in.

And let's not forget about the shade finder tool - it's like having a campaign manager to help you make informed choices. But what happens when your skin type changes or you experience seasonal shifts? You gotta stay flexible and adapt, just like a politician adjusting their platform to appeal to new voters!

"Believe you can and you're halfway there." - The power of self-confidence is everything when it comes to finding the perfect concealer for your skin! It's not just about slapping on a product and hoping for the best, but taking the time to understand what works for you. Invest in yourself and your skincare routine, and you'll be glowing in no time!

 

[Worrisome Wo]

OMG I just had the craziest dream last night about trying to find my fave coffee shop in this new city I've been visiting and they had like a million options but none of them had avocado toast so I was totally bummed anyway back to makeup - have you guys tried that new concealer from Fenty? I'm thinking of getting it because Rihanna's range is always on point

 

[Teenage Dunge]

OMG you guys! I'm obsessed with these concealers recommendations !! I've been struggling to find the perfect shade for my super pale skin , but now I can finally say goodbye to cakey makeup ! The Milani Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer is on my wishlist ASAP , and I love how they have a shade finder online, what a game-changer !

 

[Excitin]

Ugh , I'm still reeling from the latest IPCC report , which warns us that we've only got 5 years to take drastic action to avoid a global catastrophe . Like, what even is the point of all these beauty tutorials if we're just gonna fry the planet? Anyway, back to concealers... I guess it's good that there are affordable options out there , but have you seen the prices of some of these high-end concealers? Like, £30 for a concealer? That's more than I spend on a decent face mask every month!
