Concealers: reviews. The editors are testing 10 new proofreaders

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

– Concealer, he is also a corrector – a lifeline for those who do not use tonal means. In the autumn-winter period, when it is cold and gray outside, we often wake up with unpleasant dark circles under our eyes.

There is not always enough time to massage with ice cubes in the morning or apply patches for 10-15 minutes, so concealer becomes a faithful assistant. I liked Sheer Concealer with its elegant bottle and soft brush. Moderately radiant, moderately light and does not yellow, which is the most important factor in the corrector!

The light texture dries in a few seconds and you can apply foundation, powder or for example … nothing. The BURBERRY Concealer adheres so smoothly to the skin that its presence on the face is invisible.

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

– I can talk about my love for French cosmetics forever, so I’ll get straight to the point. The first plus is striking: it is insignificant, but every girl who uses concealers knows that when it is in an automatic pen, the first time it needs to be twisted for a very long time, and then, as luck would have it, a very large drop immediately comes out. The Chanel Concealer is made like a regular lip gloss – simple and elegant.

Three beautiful shades, of which the middle one suited me – a light and noble shade that does not give off to yellow. The soft texture fits easily under the eyes in a thin layer. The only thing, if you use a foundation, I do not recommend applying it over the concealer, otherwise by the end of the evening the product will clog into folds.

Nastya Obukhova, editor of the Fashion and Shopping section:

– I use concealers very rarely, and then only to cover up bruises under the eyes and redness on the skin, if I am going to any event. The Make Up Forever product attracted me with its unusual format: the usual stick instead of a brush is equipped with a transparent silicone applicator with a tiny hole.

I was overwhelmed by curiosity and wondered how such a thing could apply a foundation. It turned out to be quite easy and pleasant! When using it, I “drew” the stripes under the eyes with concealer, and then hammered in the tone with my fingers. The effect was very natural. No streaks were visible on the skin, and the product itself did not clog into fine wrinkles under the eyes.

I have fair skin with a pink undertone, but shade # 330, golden beige, was perfect for me. The concealer perfectly covered the bruises and redness of the skin. Pore ​​is not hammered. The only negative is too dry consistency. I do not recommend using this product on bare skin.

Nastya Obukhova, editor of the Fashion and Shopping section:

– The second “experimental” I liked a little less. A shade called “toast” turned out to be too yellow for me and did not do well with dark circles under my eyes.

I am not a fan of reflective particles, so in this regard, Mister Light also did not suit me too much. As for the redness, he removed it with a bang. To be honest, I did not even expect such an effect. The concealer was almost invisible on the skin and this despite the fact that I decided not to powder this area of ​​the face. In general, the product is not entirely “lost” – I’ll leave it for evening make-up.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– I was not familiar with the Catrice brand before. However, this brand’s concealer attracted me right away. First of all, the laconic design of the silver tube and the presence of a brush. It is very convenient to apply and keep in a cosmetic bag. Just in case.

I note right away that, compared to the denser Catrice Re-Touch Light-Reflecting Concealer, it is more convenient to apply, it does not roll and, in principle, hides dark circles and other imperfections well. The only thing, after you apply the product, you still need to drive it in with your fingers in order to better distribute it over the skin.

However, due to the fact that my skin is very sensitive, after a while I began to feel some discomfort – dryness and tightness of the skin. And at the end of the day, due to the fact that the product dries out, small wrinkles become noticeable.

But, by the way, for another area of ​​the face, it suits better: it masks redness and other skin imperfections quite well.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– I have never used concealers before and, to be honest, I still think that it is quite possible to do without special concealers for the area around the eyes.

For testing, I came across Essence Match 2 Cover Concealer, the manufacturers of which promised that this product will perfectly mask all facial imperfections, giving it a spectacular, healthy and radiant look. In fact, almost everything happened.

The concealer itself is presented in a rather cute palette in two shades: one lighter and the other more yellow. Thanks to this combination, you can use a lighter shade to eliminate dark circles under the eyes, age spots or redness. A darker shade can be used to correct other areas of the face.

The product is quite dense and really masks imperfections very well. One “but”. I have rather dry skin, so the concealer has got into wrinkles, making my “crow’s feet” more noticeable, so it seems to me that the product is more suitable for owners of normal or combination skin.

Olga Turbina, editor of star news:

– The reflective particles of the concealer perfectly mask dark circles under the eyes and other skin imperfections, leaving the face full of radiance.

Thanks to the gel texture of the concealer and the applicator brush, the application is even and non-greasy all day long.

Pros – it is convenient to hold in your hand, a soft brush, to remove a drop of the product, you need to turn the mechanism at the bottom a couple of times (clicks), thanks to this, nothing gets inside and the concealer does not dry out.

Cons – the expense of funds is not visible. In general, the corrector pencil refreshes the look well and gives the face a rested look, I liked the tool.

Olga Turbina, editor of star news:

– I do not get tired of admiring the cosmetics of the Make up for ever company. My acquaintance with her began with a foundation for the face, which passed all the tests and left me satisfied. Now I want to share my experience of using a concealer with a lifting effect. This light textured liquid concealer has a smooth, lifting effect.

The concealer blends easily upon application and does not roll off throughout the day. The results of use can safely include the elimination of pronounced bruises and circles under the eyes. In my opinion, concealer corrects well for tired eyes. I can not say anything about the removal of puffiness, since I do not suffer from this ailment. I believe that concealer not only masks imperfections, but also cares for the skin, regenerating the area around the eyes.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

– After trying this concealer, I understood why everyone loves Smashbox so much. Despite the fact that the shade did not suit me (I have light / medium, and for the Russian winter it is still dark), I was delighted with its properties.

It creates some kind of absolutely matte finish when applied, well covering dark marks under the eyes, while it is not visible on the skin. Not visible at all. I do not understand how this is possible with such a coverage density. On me, he lasted until the evening and did not emphasize fine wrinkles. I think Smashbox will be my perfect concealer this summer, given the undeniable bonus of SPF.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

– Unlike Smashbox, this concealer has a light consistency, lays down very thin and creates a slightly damp finish. It does not contain any flickering particles, which I consider an absolute plus.

The fair shade was identical to the popular NC20 in MAC and suited me perfectly. True, his durability is not very high, but for some reason you don’t expect it from this concealer, you want to use it quite a bit, in the morning, just to refresh your eyes.
