What I hate about drugstore products is most don't provide testers to try them. How is a person supposed to pick out the right shade if there are no testers. If there are testers, many times they are missing. Do people really steal testers?
misslori66 lol it depends on what store you go to though, if you go to shoppers drug mart (I don't know if you have that where you live) they have testers for drugstore products and will help you choose the right shade for you too
Just to say that I love that you show the product's name in a text under the footage, it is really useful because I always forget what's the name of the product I'm watching. Overall, your videos are always very professionally made. Props!
Becki, Brightener is LIFE CHANGING right?! I'm on my 5-6th tube! I pinch off the sponge (just with tweezers, before k twist up any product and it's super quick and easy!) when I open a new one, since I've been doing that I feel like the tube lasts me longer with consistent use! It also layers beautifully with a skin tone shade of the IAR concealer, I love it!
I like the sponge applicator because it puts it on in the perfect amount and then I just use my ring fingers to pat it in. I don't even use any other concealer with it. Just set it lightly with a powder. Perfect! I've always had dark circles since I was young. Diet and sleep don't matter. I've just always been prone to having them. And this concealer works best without getting cakey or accentuating fine lines. Awesome stuff!
Becki K so awesome, don't you just LOVE it when you find something that really works for your skin type and concerns, regardless of the price, and then to have it be SO affordable is just the best feeling ever! I have the regular "light" toned IAR concealer and I do leave the sponge tip on that one but for some reason I like to take it off the Brightener shade. Maybe because I use it all over the face to highlight sometimes as well? Forehead, tops of the cheeks, allll under the eyes, center of the chin, down the nose. I like to take the product on my finger and put it right where I want it and control how much I put where. I don't think that's going to makes any sense to anyone besides me haha! I've just been doing it that way for so long! And like I said, I definitley notice the tube lasting MUCH longer when I take off the sponge- you don't loose any product in the sponge along the way! Xoxo
Becki K I have really bad dark circles too. I have never used a brightener before, so I was wondering if it looks natural without foundation? I really like leaving the house in the summer with no foundation if possible, but I absolutely need to conceal my under eye circles.
I totally agree with +Emily Evans! Your videos are so much better than the other people who just TALK about their experience. Um, hello....I'm on UA-cam so that I can SEE how things look! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that---it's VERY much appreciated, and I'll be watching so many more of your videos. And btw, you are SO damn pretty! :)
Yes agreed, it adds to just an opinion as we can see results. I know you do longer more in depth video testing days where you do timed check ins & those I really love! Especially using different lighting. Although in controlled lighting, you can see, just well....you know what I mean.
love this video! this is how all youtubers should review products!! showing actual applications and comparing them with good descriptions. a lot of bloggers will just talk talk talk but you showed how each product looks. especially all in under ten minutes amazing!
i ALWAYS love watchiing your drugstore makeup reviews. I'm a signle mom so I cant afford to buy high end makeup. I am always wonderign which products to get to make it worth it so I'm not wasting money on a crappy product. Also, a lot of makeup gurus on UA-cam recommend the high end products, but not everyone can afford them. Thank you soooo much for making these videos! **HUGS**
I love your videos! I am a new Subscriber! You are professional, classy, ladylike, so informative. You put A LOT into your videos and it shows! Thank you for style!!! You are such a wonderful find!
I have never seen any beauty guru doing reviews so thoroughly. Like many others I've been watching beauty tutorials since the beginning of UA-cam and this is the first time someone has done a thorough scientific reviews on AFFORDABLE products. Really appreciate frugal fridays.
I find that the maybelline master concealer works really really well for me, it doesn't streak and it blends really well into my skin type (Normal to dry: pale skin color) I use the shade 10 fair 10 Clair and it does a very nice job of concealing my dark circles and acne scaring.
How I wish my dark circles were that tame, I have olive skin and even if I sleep for 30 hours straight, I will still have extremely dark dark circles thar I just cannot conceal, they'e still noticeable and I've tried everything from drugstore to high end to Korean products, I just cannot hide these uggghhh
Yes! Color correct!! Use an orangey correcter first and blend out then add concealer. It's helped me a lot! I am olive but more on the fair side. My fav concealer is the Mac pro longwear paired with the la girl pro concealer orange color. But the smash box correcting sticks are also really good! I hope this helped!! xoxo
Omigosh, Rimmel Match Perfection is the best! It matches my Irish skin perfectly and makes me look flawless. I wear it by itself all the time and it doesn't cake! For 5 bucks, I highly recommend it!
I love the Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Roller. I use it under my eyes, and on spots my face and eye lids for quick and light make up days. It's very light, not thick at all, covers well, blends well, does not oxidize or break down.
So glad to hear you address the issue of oxidizing. My daughter is EXTREMELY fair skinned and everything oxidizes on her. We have spent a great deal of money trying to figure out makeup that will work for her once we found out what was going on.
I've been watching tons of makeup videos and I'm glad I came across yours. I'm super addicted. I really love that your videos are thorough and especially that you demo comparisons and swatches. You're amazing!
+Kitty G I really like it but they don't have a shade that fits me, I'm in between two shades and it makes me sad because that's the best one I've found so far :C
How do you apply your Fit Me concealer? I use it and apply with my fingers and it settles in the fine lines under my eyes within like 5 minutes of application .. I don't know if it is the way I apply it or if it's just the product that doesn't work well with my skin?
Love this!!! I've been wondering about a lot of these, glad to know about the loreal true match I almost got that! My all time favorite drugstore concealer is Rimmel wake me up! It's incredible😍✨
The pink background and yellow roses on the table are so pretty here! I also loved your black and white halter top! I happen to love Maybeline concealers (dream cream & magic erase). Once again, your through reviews are very much appreciated! Thank you!
Maybelline and Loreal are owned by the same company... that's why they're both called Lumi - it's practically the same product and most of their products are very similar in general :)
Awww I really love the Master Conceal! I do find it's a concealer that you need to apply with your finger and have the warmth of it work it in the skin and blend it out with a dampened sponge.
I love the maybelliene fit me concealer. It does not oxidize or flake. It has medium coverage and its only like $5.99 at Walmart. The only thing is...my "friend" stole mine so I have to buy a new one. I'm using the it cosmetics bye bye under eye right now and love that one too. It's great full coverage.
I'm wondering that if using a beauty blender or a regular sponge will blend out the products differently than how u used it with a brush. I personally never use a brush to blend out my concealer. Always use a sponge as I feel and know that it blends out perfectly. Awesome review on concealer. Now I wish there was on high end too. :)
Omg I just bought the Lumi Dream Maybelline concealer last night without reading any reviews on it but when I used it this morning I was very satisfied and now watching this I'm so happy I lucked out on this buy! Thank you, this was a greatly informative review!💜
Wow the Rimmel looked like it blended super easy and quickly, it didn't need as much effort as with some of the others. I also have a Physician's Formula RX Concealer, different that the one you showed, but it made my under eye area gray toned so I haven't tried any others from that line. Thanks so much for the review hun, I'll have to pick up a couple of these!
NViousBeauty #20 is my favorite as well! I like to use a high end concealer in the morning when I'm getting ready, but keep a Fit Me in my purse as well as in my car for touch ups on the go. It blends seamlessly .
i am so excited! you have the same hair color and skin tone as i do and i am always afraid to try different colors, and different makeups! but I love that watching you i can see how good it looks!!
I love how much work and detail you put into your review videos. You are by far the best UA-camr at this that I've ever seen and I watch way more UA-cam than I should admit lol.
the maybelline fit me concealer is a very talked about concealer & i have used 2 of them already and plan on repurchasing, it's compared to the NARS creamy concealer. personally, i love it and i think you should try it!!
Yes the Maybelline Fit Me is AMAZING! I bought it shortly after caving and buying the Nars Radiant Creamy bc it's SO HYPED and after comparing the two I was like oh helllll no, Nars you're going BACK! I don't understand the hype and the Maybelline option is way better in my opinion!
maggie martin I think both are very nice, but I find nars is a bit better for me. Last longer and stay same shade all day. Maybelline turns orange on me ;/ I'm already on 3th pack on maybelline but I'm only use it when I know I wont be working all day and never on blemishes :P it covers them well, but after 2h I have random orange spots on my face lol :P I think it depends of person PH.
Thanks again for the on-hands demo and the 'show more' concealers mentioned listing...running to buy your best pick-of-the-concealer selection. You have gorgeous eyes...wear them well!
Personally, I like the L'Oreal true match concealer. It goes well with the foundation. I recommend it if you want a light coverage concealer. I wear it over my foundation everyday for school and I find that it lasts all day. I've repurchased it around two or three times.
I just found you and I am loving this series. I realize most of the ones I'm watching are almost a year old but still great information. I'm in Southern Maryland so I know about humidity. I'm hoping your top three on here won't settle in my eye lines. Gonna give em a try. Thanks for great videos!
Marcela Mendoza Try to put it a little below your eye and blend it upwards so that you don't put too much in the natural creases of your eyes. Set with powder and you're good to go. 👌🏼
Thanks -- your timing is perfect!! I'm searching for concealers/correctors right now, and I'm fair like you. I will take my (OK, YOUR) list with me when I shop. I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel. I'm hooked and have subscribed!
I couldn't agree more. Here are my favorites in order. 1. Rimmel, 2. Maybelline Lumi 3 Maybelline Fit Me. I'm going to have to try L'Oréal Visible Lift. Never knew it was that good. Thankyou beautiful. xoxo
Lauren G for me it was the absolute worst. It was so watery so thin barley covers anything. And not only that, but if creases and wears off so fast on me. Don't know why lol
I swear by the NYX concealer for my blemishes and I also love their yellow corrector in the same formula! Maybelline Fit me is also a huge favorite of mine.
People in these comments are saying it creases but it certainly dosent do that for me. I apply it on top of foundation and I set it with cover girl loose powder using my damp beauty blender. It looks amazing.
I liked the loreal lift concealer a lot, I'm needing a new one anyways, thanks for the good tips! I like that you tried each of them on so that we could see the consistency.
I was searching for makeup for oily skin and you've been such an amazing help! totally binge watching your videos for extra guidance because damnit, you're awesome!
Your videos are extremely helpful! Any time I'm thinking about buying a product I go to you to see what you think about it LOL. I'm just beginning with makeup and you help me so much with learning about good drugstore products. I also love how you give such detail when talking about a product:)
I am a little late getting into the make up tutorials but I am so glad i found your channel!! I am a natural redhead and love learning from a fellow ginger!
Thanks zabreena.. I am truly grateful to you for putting best to the point reviews. I take your recommendations seriously and again thanks for telling us about affordable make up.
What a bummer that you didn't like the Loreal true match concealer. It's one of my HG's!!!! I have to disagree with you on that one. I do agree with you on the Nyx concealer. I hate it. I don't understand the hype around it.
Hello Zebrina!!!! Retin A caused some flaking, and that is the reason my concealer is CoverGirl + Olay The De-Puffer. The dark area on the side of the bridge of my nose near my eye just about drove me crazy trying to conceal it without drying the area out, which made the flaking worse and visible. For me, this product is the only concealer that is not dry, but nicely moisturizing, which made me want to throw a party! Although I do not put Retin A anywhere near my eyes, Retin A will work itself into areas through the cellular working process - in other words, cells share treatment products. I tried so many concealer so, but discovered this one on my own while shopping, and I'm so glad I took a chance because it works for me!!! Thank you for the video!!!
Jennifer Ellis yes i saw that happening to mine as well! its great! the only problem i have with that concealer is that it does crease on me ... but super creamy and blends nicely!
I don't get why people apply concealer underneath of foundation to cover imperfections. If you are just going to use it that way, there is almost no point of foundation. I usually do foundation, and then conceal anything the foundation missed, which isn't usually much.
Viix Some concealers oxidize on some people. When foundation is placed over it effect of color change isn't noticeable. Foundation also tends to stick to concealer a bit better so it will give better coverage but quite heavy at the same time. It is the matter of preference and what works for different people :)I use concealer over foundation on daily basis ( apart eye area where I use only concealer) but sometimes when I got those angry spots doing the opposite solve my coverage problem :)
It depends on the concealer, foundation or powder, if I apply the concealer on top or under the foundation or powder. If I'm using only mineral powder (my skin is oily & in summer sometimes anything more than powder makes my skin feel crawly) it depends on the concealer if I apply it first or my powder first.
That last concealer contains more fluid ounces than most if not all stick foundations-both drugstore & high end. Only one other concealer comes to mind that has as much in it. I'm so glad you said it worked, because I can't believe the prices for 0.11oz of drugstore for the same price! Thanks for sharing & have a great day today!
Zabrena, I love your videos! For the last 35 years, as a mother/wife/doctor/soldier working about 50 to 70 hours per week, I have have next-to-no time to even think about beauty, hair or makeup. (Let alone had the time to "do" my face or hair, or watch makeup tutorials! But my career is slowing down now, whew.) Not surprisingly, my worst beauty problem has always been awful dark circles under my eyes. BUT, I found that just using Maybelline SUPERSTAY Foundation, applied with a 'cosmetic face wedge (sponge?)', works surprisingly well as a concealer. I inherited good skin from my mother, so fortunately I don't 'need' to wear foundation all over. I think I will buy the Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer, though, for when I have the time to really "do" my face.
Yay me. I just bought the Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer the other day and I love it too. We have pretty much the exact same complexion, so I really take your suggestions to heart. So glad I found your channel :)
I've really loved the ELF HD concealer for covering up and the Neutrogena Eye Brightener for brightening in the past. I actually just bought the Dream Lumi today before watching your video. Glad to see it got a good review!
i've used rimmel true match for a long time and never saw anyone talk about it. i've tried others and i always keep coming back to rimmel, love that stuff and it's probably the cheapest out of all the ones you tested. two thumbs up
I love the Rimmel match perfection as well it gives such a natural look and covers what needs to be covers love it soooo much!! Definitely my favorite right now!!!
Your eye makeup always looks soooo flawless. Love!! Your background is just gorgeous and I love your energetic way of describing products. I wasn't as into the LA Girl Pro concealer as much as everyone else. It looked cakey and crepey underneath my eyes :( I adore this series!! Please keep doing it :)
This was super helpful, I've been looking for a good concealer that wouldn't cost a ridiculous amount and I really like the look of the Rimmel Match Perfection.
i love how you try products over a period of time and write notes for them & such when other youtube just apply the products in a video and take one off and then apply another right after.
I;m so glad that you spoke about which one is great w/o foundation. I never wear foundation and a lot of concealers I've tried either don't cover my dark circles, or have a color that needs to be covered with foundation to make it match my skin. Going to go buy the RImmel soon!
SweetLillyMoon Did you ever use the Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller (whew!)? It's easy for everyday. Other than that, I like Tarte's undereye color corrector, while waiting for MakeUp Geek's corrector!
Denise Marie I haven't tried this one as of yet but, I'll check it out thanks a bunch for the recommendation😉. I too can't wait for the MUG concealers to launch! Have a blessed weekend.
I love the ELF studio HD lifting concealer so much, I have dark circles and a bluish hue under my eyes and this covers so nicely, I was so impressed the first time I tried it and for $3.00 yay me!
I love the maybelline age rewind concealer!!! It covers dark circles like no other, highlights, and the application is amazing. It comes with a sponge, and you just blend with your finger
I love your videos! I love that you're to the point and how you compare each one! You are like a little scientist doing experiments!!! Thank you for making these videos, this was my first video and I am now a subscriber 💕😊
Zabrena, I'm a high school student and frugal Fridays are what keep my face on
and have you tried the Maybelline Gel Eyeliner
What I hate about drugstore products is most don't provide testers to try them. How is a person supposed to pick out the right shade if there are no testers. If there are testers, many times they are missing. Do people really steal testers?
Just use it anyways that's what I do 😂
I always bring a concealer/foundation that I know matches me to compare in case there's no tester
misslori66 lol it depends on what store you go to though, if you go to shoppers drug mart (I don't know if you have that where you live) they have testers for drugstore products and will help you choose the right shade for you too
try ulta
misslori66 You can return any Walgreen product within 30 days with no questions.
Just to say that I love that you show the product's name in a text under the footage, it is really useful because I always forget what's the name of the product I'm watching. Overall, your videos are always very professionally made. Props!
I love the maybelline instant age rewind in the brightener shade. I have awful dark circles and this covers them better than most high end concealers.
Becki, Brightener is LIFE CHANGING right?! I'm on my 5-6th tube! I pinch off the sponge (just with tweezers, before k twist up any product and it's super quick and easy!) when I open a new one, since I've been doing that I feel like the tube lasts me longer with consistent use! It also layers beautifully with a skin tone shade of the IAR concealer, I love it!

1st video I've watched of yours and it was extremely informative! Thank you for the demos of each, I'm sure that took a lot of time to film.
+Emily Evans It did! Haha! Thank you so much for the appreciation and welcome to you! :)
I totally agree with +Emily Evans! Your videos are so much better than the other people who just TALK about their experience. Um, hello....I'm on UA-cam so that I can SEE how things look!

love this video! this is how all youtubers should review products!! showing actual applications and comparing them with good descriptions. a lot of bloggers will just talk talk talk but you showed how each product looks. especially all in under ten minutes amazing!
i'm i the only one who don't think the Maybelline age rewind concealer is not that great, i just feel like it creases a lot
Makes me look painfully greasy. Not oily, *greasy*
Hunny Bee 😂😂😂😂
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind is the best drugstore concealer I've ever used. No competition.
yes it works really good but I'm allergic to it for whatever reason. have you found anything similar??
+Theresa W I actually think it's the applicator that's so great. Maybe there's a way to clean it out and put a different concealer inside.
Doesn't have a shade dark enough for me:(
+Slimming Kim my eyes burn like crazy and get puffy and red for a few days 😏
+Kristine Lang yea I agree. the applicator is unique and I like it.
i ALWAYS love watchiing your drugstore makeup reviews. I'm a signle mom so I cant afford to buy high end makeup.

Yeah I liked it too
me too. I have normal oily skin. I also use a damp beauty blender when applying.
I liked it a lot too
I use it too and I love love love it the coverage is amazing and very brightening
Kelsey Johnson Do you use a brush or a sponge to blend it out?
The Rimmel London looks so natural on you! Bought it and I'm loving it!
How I wish my dark circles were that tame, I have olive skin and even if I sleep for 30 hours straight, I will still have extremely dark dark circles thar I just cannot conceal, they'e still noticeable and I've tried everything from drugstore to high end to Korean products, I just cannot hide these uggghhh
same except im really pale and i have bright purple bags under my eyes the only thing that helps is color correcting
Yes! Color correct!! Use an orangey correcter first and blend out then add concealer. It's helped me a lot! I am olive but more on the fair side. My fav concealer is the Mac pro longwear paired with the la girl pro concealer orange color. But the smash box correcting sticks are also really good! I hope this helped!! xoxo
try color corrector before applying concealer
SAME. I wear glasses so it's not too noticeable when I'm wearing them, but it looks like I got punched in both eyes!
try the marc jacobs concelar, ITS SO GOOD
You honestly have to be one of the best to give honest opinions about products and give so much selections!
Omigosh, Rimmel Match Perfection is the best! It matches my Irish skin perfectly and makes me look flawless. I wear it by itself all the time and it doesn't cake! For 5 bucks, I highly recommend it!
I love the way you review these products! It really gives you an inside look!

I love that thing.
Wow great that you showed us the stuff on you that really helped!
I've been using the Rimmel Match Perfection for years and I love it. I've always wanted to try other concealers but I just always go back to Rimmel
your eyeshadow blending skills are immaculate.
I love how organized you are
So glad to hear you address the issue of oxidizing. My daughter is EXTREMELY fair skinned and everything oxidizes on her. We have spent a great deal of money trying to figure out makeup that will work for her once we found out what was going on.
the Maybelline (I believe ) fit me foundation works really good for me and I am pretty pale myself
Maybelline master conceal is my favorite! I have very oily acne filled skin and it conceals like nobodies business on my skin! LOVE LOVE LOVE it
I've been watching tons of makeup videos and I'm glad I came across yours. I'm super
addicted. I really love that your videos are thorough and especially that you demo comparisons and swatches. You're amazing!
No maybelline Fit Me?
Stephanie Salan There isn't a match for me in that line :(
Stephanie Salan This one oxidizes orange on me :(
kbates85 me too
Stephanie Salan its my FAVORITE drugstore concealer!!
+macshadowcombos Not even number 15-Fair? It's lighter than number 10-Light
One of the few UA-camrs opinions that I trust. I love your videos Zabrena! Never stop. I also loved your eye tutorials, I'd love to see more
I'm surprised you didn't pick up the maybelline fit me concealer since everyone likes it and compares it to the urban decay naked skin one o:
Its the BEST drugstore concealer! Hands down. No lie.
+Jaelene Estrada right? I love it (: I've repurchased it like 5 times already.
+Kitty G I really like it but they don't have a shade that fits me, I'm in between two shades and it makes me sad because that's the best one I've found so far :C
How do you apply your Fit Me concealer? I use it and apply with my fingers and it settles in the fine lines under my eyes within like 5 minutes of application .. I don't know if it is the way I apply it or if it's just the product that doesn't work well with my skin?
+Lalaloveeee yeah that happens to me a lot with almost all concealers /: but just set your under eye really well and it should last longer.
Love this!!! I've been wondering about a lot of these, glad to know about the loreal true match I almost got that! My all time favorite drugstore concealer is Rimmel wake me up! It's incredible😍✨
True Match Lumi foundation by LOreal is also hyped and I LOVE it. It's probably one of the best drug store foundations I've ever used.
The pink background and yellow roses on the table are so pretty here! I also loved your black and white halter top! I happen to love Maybeline concealers (dream cream & magic erase). Once again, your through reviews are very much appreciated! Thank you!
I use the loreal true match concealer and I love it! try applying it with a beauty blender, it works much better!
love the video! the fact that you showed us a shot of you applying it was wonderful!
Maybelline and Loreal are owned by the same company... that's why they're both called Lumi - it's practically the same product and most of their products are very similar in general :)
Yup. L'Oreal is the parent company that owns Maybelline amongst many others!
Im kind of shook
Thank you for going through the extra effort of doing demos! So helpful.
The Maybelline Fit Me is absolutely amazing!
Marissa Gaspard There isn't a match for me in that line :(
15 fair is lighter then 10 light I don't know why they did it that way? I found light to dark but fair is perfect! I am the palest of the pale!
You should try mixing a few of them to get your perfect match
I love that you applied all of these on camera! no one ever does that with concealer reviews! Thank you so much this was super helpful!
Awww I really love the Master Conceal! I do find it's a concealer that you need to apply with your finger and have the warmth of it work it in the skin and blend it out with a dampened sponge.
Your videos are always so aesthetically pleasing and informative. Really enjoy them.
I love the maybelliene fit me concealer. It does not oxidize or flake. It has medium coverage and its only like $5.99 at Walmart. The only thing is...my "friend" stole mine so I have to buy a new one. I'm using the it cosmetics bye bye under eye right now and love that one too. It's great full coverage.

Awesome review on concealer. Now I wish there was on high end too. :)

Oh and I also like the Visible Blur, it looked great on you as well!
Britney Barlow i own only one concealer, so I'm no expert. But I own the rinmel one and it really works! U should try it out
I would of never thought to pick up Rimmel. You got me wanting to give it a try now. Please keep up these Best & Worst Drugstore videos.
I love the Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 20 for my fair skin. I don't like 15 at all though that one seemed like it should work. Try #20!!
Me too!
Me too!!
NViousBeauty #20 is my favorite as well! I like to use a high end concealer in the morning when I'm getting ready, but keep a Fit Me in my purse as well as in my car for touch ups on the go. It blends seamlessly .
NViousBeauty doesn't work well with fine lines :(
i am so excited! you have the same hair color and skin tone as i do and i am always afraid to try different colors, and different makeups! but I love that watching you i can see how good it looks!!
Hey, Bree! L'Oreal is not really a competidor. Maybelline belongs to L'Oreal, it's an more affordable brand, that's all! Love you!
I love how much work and detail you put into your review videos. You are by far the best UA-camr at this that I've ever seen and I watch way more UA-cam than I should admit lol.
the maybelline fit me concealer is a very talked about concealer & i have used 2 of them already and plan on repurchasing, it's compared to the NARS creamy concealer. personally, i love it and i think you should try it!!
It is very good
Yes the Maybelline Fit Me is AMAZING! I bought it shortly after caving and buying the Nars Radiant Creamy bc it's SO HYPED and after comparing the two I was like oh helllll no, Nars you're going BACK! I don't understand the hype and the Maybelline option is way better in my opinion!
maggie martin I think both are very nice, but I find nars is a bit better for me. Last longer and stay same shade all day. Maybelline turns orange on me ;/ I'm already on 3th pack on maybelline but I'm only use it when I know I wont be working all day and never on blemishes :P it covers them well, but after 2h I have random orange spots on my face lol :P I think it depends of person PH.
Thanks again for the on-hands demo and the 'show more' concealers mentioned listing...running to buy your best pick-of-the-concealer selection. You have gorgeous eyes...wear them well!
Personally, I like the L'Oreal true match concealer. It goes well with the foundation. I recommend it if you want a light coverage concealer. I wear it over my foundation everyday for school and I find that it lasts all day. I've repurchased it around two or three times.
I just found you and I am loving this series. I realize most of the ones I'm watching are almost a year old but still great information. I'm in Southern Maryland so I know about humidity. I'm hoping your top three on here won't settle in my eye lines. Gonna give em a try. Thanks for great videos!
How about the Age rewind from Maybelline? you should give it a try
Your eye look is to die for in this video!
Concealers always crack under my eye and look cakey. I try so many different ones . Please help
Try to thin it out and apply a translucent powder
Thank you
Try Revlon ColorStay Translucent Finishing Powder
Marcela Mendoza Try to put it a little below your eye and blend it upwards so that you don't put too much in the natural creases of your eyes. Set with powder and you're good to go. 👌🏼
Using eye cream beforehand might help too
Thanks -- your timing is perfect!! I'm searching for concealers/correctors right now, and I'm fair like you. I will take my (OK, YOUR) list with me when I shop. I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel. I'm hooked and have subscribed!
I love the look of the L'Oreal visible lift blur on you!
I couldn't agree more. Here are my favorites in order. 1. Rimmel, 2. Maybelline Lumi 3 Maybelline Fit Me. I'm going to have to try L'Oréal Visible Lift. Never knew it was that good. Thankyou beautiful. xoxo
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is THE best concealer from the drugstore I've used
Lauren G yeahhhh i love them too but i wish theyre cruelty free
Lauren G for me it was the absolute worst. It was so watery so thin barley covers anything. And not only that, but if creases and wears off so fast on me. Don't know why lol
Sho did you bake? idky but it honestly stays very well on my skin :P maybe try the age rewind?
i wanted to try the age rewind for a while but i thought it would be too light. And yes, i tried baking. Never worked for me :(
they never have a shade for my skin color. im in between 30 and 35
I swear by the NYX concealer for my blemishes and I also love their yellow corrector in the same formula! Maybelline Fit me is also a huge favorite of mine.
I wish you could've featured the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer:(
It's nice but it creases.
It's really not that great.
It creases , it moves around, doesn't cover that great and last so little time..i'm a Maybelline stan but i don't really like the Fit me concealer
People in these comments are saying it creases but it certainly dosent do that for me. I apply it on top of foundation and I set it with cover girl loose powder using my damp beauty blender. It looks amazing.
I liked the loreal lift concealer a lot, I'm needing a new one anyways, thanks for the good tips! I like that you tried each of them on so that we could see the consistency.
It's so weird! My L'oreal True Match one doesn't apply like that. It goes on sooo smooth on my under eye area.
I was searching for makeup for oily skin and you've been such an amazing help! totally binge watching your videos for extra guidance because damnit, you're awesome!
Wow! A lot of work went into that video - will save me some hit-or-miss purchases.
lov how u took the time to go thru all of them and shoe us how good they are. thank you
***** What brush were you using for blending? Thanks!
Brandy Floyd Hi Brandy! That was the ELF Concealer brush - one of my favs for concealer application! :)
Your videos are extremely helpful! Any time I'm thinking about buying a product I go to you to see what you think about it LOL. I'm just beginning with makeup and you help me so much with learning about good drugstore products. I also love how you give such detail when talking about a product:)
Fave is the Maybelline better skin. blends really nice, looks natural, brightens.
I am a little late getting into the make up tutorials but I am so glad i found your channel!! I am a natural redhead and love learning from a fellow ginger!
you are beautiful btw!
what brush are you using? I'm looking for a brush for concealer and this one this so gooooood!
elf concealer brush! :)
+Zabrena I love elf brushes😍, they're really good for the price
It's the ELF Flawless Concealer Brush, and it's so good!
cheryl gustavson
Thanks zabreena.. I am truly grateful to you for putting best to the point reviews. I take your recommendations seriously and again thanks for telling us about affordable make up.
What a bummer that you didn't like the Loreal true match concealer. It's one of my HG's!!!! I have to disagree with you on that one. I do agree with you on the Nyx concealer. I hate it. I don't understand the hype around it.
Hello Zebrina!!!! Retin A caused some flaking, and that is the reason my concealer is CoverGirl + Olay The De-Puffer. The dark area on the side of the bridge of my nose near my eye just about drove me crazy trying to conceal it without drying the area out, which made the flaking worse and visible. For me, this product is the only concealer that is not dry, but nicely moisturizing, which made me want to throw a party! Although I do not put Retin A anywhere near my eyes, Retin A will work itself into areas through the cellular working process - in other words, cells share treatment products. I tried so many concealer so, but discovered this one on my own while shopping, and I'm so glad I took a chance because it works for me!!! Thank you for the video!!!
I bought the loreal blur one, I do like it, a lot, but that stuff ooooozes out of the tube like water, its very irritating.
Jennifer Ellis yes i saw that happening to mine as well! its great! the only problem i have with that concealer is that it does crease on me ... but super creamy and blends nicely!
Oh that's to bad, its hard to find "The One" that works best on your skin, if only it don't crease
I've been looking for new makeup for back to school and these frugal Friday videos have so been so helpful! You've earned a new subscriber😊
I don't get why people apply concealer underneath of foundation to cover imperfections. If you are just going to use it that way, there is almost no point of foundation. I usually do foundation, and then conceal anything the foundation missed, which isn't usually much.
Viix Some concealers oxidize on some people. When foundation is placed over it effect of color change isn't noticeable. Foundation also tends to stick to concealer a bit better so it will give better coverage but quite heavy at the same time. It is the matter of preference and what works for different people :)I use concealer over foundation on daily basis ( apart eye area where I use only concealer) but sometimes when I got those angry spots doing the opposite solve my coverage problem :)
It depends on the concealer, foundation or powder, if I apply the concealer on top or under the foundation or powder. If I'm using only mineral powder (my skin is oily & in summer sometimes anything more than powder makes my skin feel crawly) it depends on the concealer if I apply it first or my powder first.
That last concealer contains more fluid ounces than most if not all stick foundations-both drugstore & high end. Only one other concealer comes to mind that has as much in it. I'm so glad you said it worked, because I can't believe the prices for 0.11oz of drugstore for the same price! Thanks for sharing & have a great day today!
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Phoebe from Friends aha
Zabrena, I love your videos! For the last 35 years, as a mother/wife/doctor/soldier working about 50 to 70 hours per week, I have have next-to-no time to even think about beauty, hair or makeup. (Let alone had the time to "do" my face or hair, or watch makeup tutorials! But my career is slowing down now, whew.) Not surprisingly, my worst beauty problem has always been awful dark circles under my eyes. BUT, I found that just using Maybelline SUPERSTAY Foundation, applied with a 'cosmetic face wedge (sponge?)', works surprisingly well as a concealer. I inherited good skin from my mother, so fortunately I don't 'need' to wear foundation all over. I think I will buy the Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer, though, for when I have the time to really "do" my face.
Yay me. I just bought the Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer the other day and I love it too. We have pretty much the exact same complexion, so I really take your suggestions to heart. So glad I found your channel :)
I've really loved the ELF HD concealer for covering up and the Neutrogena Eye Brightener for brightening in the past. I actually just bought the Dream Lumi today before watching your video. Glad to see it got a good review!
i've used rimmel true match for a long time and never saw anyone talk about it. i've tried others and i always keep coming back to rimmel, love that stuff and it's probably the cheapest out of all the ones you tested. two thumbs up
I love the Rimmel match perfection as well it gives such a natural look and covers what needs to be covers love it soooo much!! Definitely my favorite right now!!!
Really helpful video!! It was really helpful to see those close up shots after you put it on, keep up the great work!
Your eye makeup always looks soooo flawless. Love!! Your background is just gorgeous and I love your energetic way of describing products.
I wasn't as into the LA Girl Pro concealer as much as everyone else. It looked cakey and crepey underneath my eyes :(
I adore this series!! Please keep doing it :)
I just love how the description is so informative... Good job😍
This was super helpful, I've been looking for a good concealer that wouldn't cost a ridiculous amount and I really like the look of the Rimmel Match Perfection.
I am soooo glad you did this review! I have oily skin as well so I am looking forward to trying your top 3 recommendations asap :)
my favorite youtube reviewer! the other ones spend half the video talking about the packaging without wearing it the whole day bfore testing.
i love how you try products over a period of time and write notes for them & such when other youtube just apply the products in a video and take one off and then apply another right after.
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I love your review. Very helpful indeed!
I;m so glad that you spoke about which one is great w/o foundation. I never wear foundation and a lot of concealers I've tried either don't cover my dark circles, or have a color that needs to be covered with foundation to make it match my skin. Going to go buy the RImmel soon!
So glad you did the comparison of the concealers because, I'm currently looking for a good drugstore concealer for every day use. Thanks again.
SweetLillyMoon Did you ever use the Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller (whew!)? It's easy for everyday. Other than that, I like Tarte's undereye color corrector, while waiting for MakeUp Geek's corrector!
Denise Marie I haven't tried this one as of yet but, I'll check it out thanks a bunch for the recommendation😉. I too can't wait for the MUG concealers to launch! Have a blessed weekend.
Thank you - this weekend has been a blessing!
Thank you so much! And your space is so awesome because it's pink! And look at the great shelf for all of the cosmetics!
I love the ELF studio HD lifting concealer so much, I have dark circles and a bluish hue under my eyes and this covers so nicely, I was so impressed the first time I tried it and for $3.00 yay me!
I love the maybelline age rewind concealer!!! It covers dark circles like no other, highlights, and the application is amazing. It comes with a sponge, and you just blend with your finger
I love your videos! I love that you're to the point and how you compare each one! You are like a little scientist doing experiments!!! Thank you for making these videos, this was my first video and I am now a subscriber 💕😊
