Testing Under Eye Concealer for Mature Skin!

What’s the best under eye concealer for mature skin?

Today I’m testing 9 concealers to see which is best on wrinkles, dark circles, and bags (yay for close up pics of my wrinkles, discolorations, & puffiness… Not)!!

Hi,
Love this review. Thank you!
Have you tried the Superdrug Revolution concealer? Know it’s meant to be a dupe for shape tape. I have such dry skin so hate anything drying.
Thank you,
Anna

What a thorough testing and how great of you to emphasize that your previous instructions were misguided. I started immediately learning how to sparingly powder my undereye concealer using Dermablend setting powder with a very light hand. Even with practice, however, I feel that I look a bit too pale and blank around the eyes, the dreaded “reverse racoon” look, if you get the reference. I’m wondering if a setting spray would do the same work with the concealer but look a bit more natural. My personal situation: I have more prominent eye bags than discoloration or wrinkles. My eye area is neither dry nor oily but I’m always aiming for a smooth, no-shine look. At the moment I’m using a bit of light pink cream concealer followed by a more liquid flesh- toned concealer.
Thoughts from the expert? Have you ever thought of testing some sprays vs powders? My spray (Super goop) has SPF in it, so that’s a plus.

  Hi Sara~ The best way to use setting spray under the eyes is to spray it onto a blending sponge and then lightly pat the sponge onto your concealer. On the SuperGoop spf setting spray, just be aware that it contains a lot of alcohol so it can be drying for the under eye area. Best, Angie

I’ve used the Lancôme for years. It, too, is my favorite. They didn’t have my color in Nordstrom the other day so I was talked into the Chantecaille anti-fatigue corrector pen. What a waste of $52. It’s going back! I ended up ordering online and will get my all time favorite, Effacernes!

Spent some time today enjoying your videos. One of the things I am always looking for is a good concealer. I see that you like Lancome Effacernes’ Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer. On a hunch I looked up the ingredient list of some L’Oreal concealers and noticed that “True Match” is very close. Have you ever tried the “True Match” concealer? Elissa

Thank for your well-researched and thorough reviews! I’ve started following recently and have been enjoying all of the videos… and trying many of your recommendations with solid results. Just an FYI, something you probably already know, the Lacombe concealer was recently discontinued and many of the colors are already sold out. It’s a sad day. 🙁

  Lol, sorry for the missed word and misspelled Lancome…autocorrect is the bane of my existence.

Hi Angie,
You look Gorgeous, thanks so much for this video and for saving our wallets.
What foundation are you wearing on your video and the eyeshadows, that natural color looks beautiful on you.

Thanks for your hard work and for helping us.

I had the age rewind by maybelline in my bag and your post encouraged me to try it again. This time I applied with a damp beauty blender and it seemed to do the trick. Thanks for helping me rediscover it

What about your favorite 2016 drugstore one, Maybelline Master Conceal? How does that one compare to these that you just tested?

Loved the video Angie! I’ve only been wearing concealer on my inner eye area because I was CERTAIN that my wrinkles would look worse with product (concealer & powder) on my outer eye/crows feet area. It’s funny because every time I’ve had my makeup done by a professional makeup artist, they ALWAYS put concealer under my whole eye and I attributed that to them being younger and not being as familiar with mature skin. So I was literally going to request that they no longer conceal my outer eye area. Now you’ve got me questioning it all again! LOL. P.S. I only use a brightener (my current fave is the dual concealer/brightener stick by IT Cosmetics) in my inner eye area on my bridge of my nose.

XOXO, Jenn

Angie,
I am 43, going to be 44 in March, and I have never consistently used makeup. I would like to start now and don’t even know where to start or how. I took a picture of me with only Estée Lauder Stay in Place Light in 2.0 intensity applied with my fingers. Can you please help? I don’t know what to do but I feel like I look a wreck most of the time. I have 4 kids that are 13 and under, and I need school officials and other parents to take me seriously. Please help.

  Awe, girl, you got this. Watch lots of tutorials, stop by makeup counters in the mall for consultations. If you find a foundation that matches in drugstore brand you can then look up matches in other brands of foundations online.
  If you order makeup from some companies and have trouble with the product they have consultants online that can help. Smashbox offers this and Jill helped me figure out why my foundation wasn’t applying well.
  Figure out what shades appeal to you and enjoy them. Enjoy learning with them and practicing with them. It’s ok to mess up and laugh about it.
  I realize this is months late, but I hope you have figured things out or will see this and be ready for next school year.

I have a few go-to concealers that I use on my nearly 49 years young face. Currently I’m using It Cosmetics undereye concealer with highlighter, that’s my daily one. When I’m going out I finish under my eyes with my all time favorite, YSL Touche Éclat. I have also used that Maybelline one as a daily, but it’s a little drying for me. And I have the Lancôme one, but it’s also a little drying. Just found your blog, my daughter sent it to me as she said we have the same fresh, glowing skin (ha ha aka good makeup!) Love what I’m seeing, I’ll have to browse around some more when I have time!

    I’m in the UK so not sure we can by that one. Do you recommend a pressed powder compact style one applied by a sponge or the loose setting powder which is applied with a brush?

Hi Angie,

I followed your advice a while back and got Lancôme Effacernes. It is one of my favorite concealer so far! I have what is called “hollow eyes” and I’m always looking for the miracle product… I think I will also try the Tarte Shape Tape concealer.

Thanks again for another helpful review!

Thank you for this post. I am always on the search for an undereye concealer. Can you please tell me how you “set” with powder. Do you use a brush or puff? Also, What powder do you use?

Great post! Always thought less was more but not in this case. Angie do you then apply foundation around the eye area? How do you blend foundation so it doesn’t interfere with powder.
Thanks in advance
Christine
