Good morning, beautiful ladies! Quick question for you all. So I am about to run out of my It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye concealer, and I'm on the hunt for something new. I don't really have any complaints with it, I'm just still on the hunt for my HG concealer. I know you all know how it goes. Anyway, after much research I *think* I've narrowed it down to Estee Lauder double wear and Mac's prolongwear and studio finish concealers. I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on these, especially if you've tried 2 or 3 of them. Or if you have any other suggestions for a medium to full coverage concealer, please let me know! Thanks :)

The pro long wear broke me out and so did the double wear LOL the only full coverage that did not break me out the Cover Fx Cream Concealer. Despite be breaking out upon every use the pro long wear gave nice coverage, besides its gross paint like smell. EST Lauders concealer is useless ok. useless. it covers nothing and made me look oily when I have rather dry skin.

Thank you, Lillee! I have pretty sensitive skin, so you gave me something to consider.

And thank you, Aryana!

I've used both, the pro Longwear and the studio finish ones.

Studio Finish Concealers are great. You get super full coverage with minimal product. I did this is best for blemishes but for the under eye area make sure it's warmed up otherwise it feels really heavy and you have to use that cooking/baking method with your favorite setting powder to prevent creasing cause it's quite emollient.


With the pro Longwear one it's very long lasting and good coverage plus I don't really have to set it and it doesn't really crease much at all.
The only downside is you need to make sure that your skin is moisturized otherwise it'll look really dry and cakey.

I have both and I use by the look I'm going for or just my mood.
I feel like in the cooler months I use the studio finish since I can use it with minimal powder and the warmer months the pro Longwear.
Or the studio finish when I'm doing a more dewy/natural look cause creams can look very skin-like IMO
And then the Pro Longwear when I'm wanting a more matte look.

I find the coverage is better with the studio finish one

Thank you, Aurora! That was super helpful. Sounds like pro longwear is the one for me. Thanks again!

Kailey are you looking for full coverage concealer in a pot or just a smooth concealer like skin finish? Is it for just under eye area or all over?

Here is my quick before and after to give you an idea of the concealers. I applied concealer only on my cheeks just to show their coverage. On the right is Estee lauder double wear stay in place concealer in a pot and on my left cheek is Mac studio Finish concealer. If you want a skin like finish to the skin I recommend Mac select cover up which I also have and if you want another option for a more subtle conceal LA girl pro concealer is nice. :) I like the it one as well.

I really just need it for my under eye area, I have awful dark circles. Thank you for the photos! I'll have to look into the select cover up, it sounds like it could be a good option for me. Thank you, Alma!

Have you used a color corrector?

I have the one by Pixi, and I like it, but I think it's a *tad* too orange for my skintone.

You need a pink, salmon corrector :)
