Top 5...Concealers

The time has come to talk concealers. My top five, I'll save you the rambly intro and just skip right into it...

Coming in at #5 we have the well-loved, cult classic.. Collection Lasting Perfection 

Concealer. For a "drug store" concealer, it's great. It effectively covers under-eye circles and blemishes- its suitable for both as it has a matte, not radiant, finish. It also last extremely well. Oh yeah, and it's under £5!!

Estee Lauder Lauder Double Wear grabs the #4 spot right now. This is an old favourite for me. It's creamy, so works well under eyes and on the face and blends away to leave a beautifully natural finish, despite the full coverage. It claims to last 15 hours...I'd probably debate that, but it does have great lasting power when powdered down (as do most base products). There's a heavier price tag on this one, but you do get great quality for your money, so that justifies it (just about).

#3  Make Up Forever Full Cover- Another cult product, and for very good reason! It's tricky to get hold of if you're in the UK, but if you do get the chance, grab a tube! It really is full cover. This bad boy can literally cover up EVERYTHING! One word of advice, when you think you know how much you need, use half the amount- a tiny amount goes a long way, which again, means you're getting great value for your money.

Snatching the #2 spot is a drug store favourite of mine...Rimmel Match Perfection Illuminating Concealer. Not surprising seeing as I love the foundation too, which was featured in my  top 5 foundations. This once is glowy and radiant and gorgeous. Definitely one for paler skin tones- the only downside about this product in the colour range, please branch out Rimmel!!) I'd keep this one away from blemishes too. For the under eye area it's perfect. Once again, a little goes a long way so be careful and blend well!

Aaaaannndd a drum roll please...... *does a drum roll*

The number one, star of the show, super product is........

MAC Studio Finish Concealer. Yet another cult concealer, this is certainly an "oldie but a goodie". Not to mention the fact that it's like a never ending pot of concealing magic. You can't deny that MAC really do smash it when it comes to base products, so it's hardly surprising that this little gem has nabbed the top spot. Some struggle with this as an under eye concealer and prefer to just use this to cover blemishes and redness but I personally love it for everything. The tiniest amount covers flawlessly and the colour range, of course, is absolutely brilliant. Hats off to MAC, may they never discontinue my absolute fave.

Next up in my series of Top Fives is blush...so stay tuned!
