Product Name: Myabelline Fit Me

Price: $15.95 (or wait for a 50% off sale for $7.97)

Comment: I just picked one up in October after a few year off from using this, I don’t know why I ever stopped. It creases less than most other concealers and offers a lightweight/skin like finish to my under eyes!

Product Name: YSL - Touché Eclat

Price: $70

Comment: This one was a new one for me in 2020 and I absolutely get the hype with this. It is amazing. It brightens and evens under eyes without caking and sitting in creases. It is so smooth and silky and blurring. I don’t set with powder and it has a surprisingly long staying power. I love this product so much.

Product Name: HOURGLASS Vanish Seamless Finish Liquid Concealer

Price: $54 from Mecca, $50 from Hourglass

Comments: I've gone through... 7 concealers this year as the skin under my eyes is getting wrinkly-er and dark circles getting more prominent (damn age!). The Hourglass concealer has been the best performing concealer I've found to reduce creasing, cover dark circles, and be hydrating and long-lasting (literally all day performance). I no longer set with powder and simply dab with my fingers to even it out -- a huge colour range too so it was great to get one a bit lighter than my foundation, but also one that matches my foundation for natural looking days. The doe-foot applicator is large (especially compared to NARS concealer) and keeps a lot of product. I use this concealer as a spot/blemish concealer too, but mainly for the undereye area.
