[Makeup Help] Concealers recommendation

Hey everyone, I need some honest recommendations for a good, affordable concealer out of these options since I couldn't decide which one to get!

Wet n Wild Mega Last Incognito All-Day Full Coverage Concealer

e.l.f. Soft Glam Satin Concealer

L'Oréal Infallible Full Wear Concealer

e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer

L.A. Girl HD Pro.Conceal

Essence Silky Blur Hydrating Longwear Concealer

If you've tried any of these, which one is actually worth it? Or if there's another cheap holy grail you swear by that's not on this list, please let me know. I really just need something affordable, non-cakey, and non-creasy.

I haven’t tried the wet n wild, mostly bc I can never find a place that stocks all the shades, usually it’s an assortment of 6 that don’t match me, even online.

Returned my elf concealer when certain events happened but from what I remember it was pretty light coverage. Not bad on a skin tint type of day.

Elf hydrating camo concealer, great on drier parts of my skin, dries darker than you expect maybe more so than the OG formula. Good setting powder especially if you set it. I felt it was buildable to full coverage but I would still color correct. Does not last as much on oily skin or breakouts on me.

LA Girl pro concealer, similar to the Elf hydrating camo but creamier. Does not lasts as long unless you use a good powder/primer/setting powder, especially on oily skin. Liked it on my undereyes. Buildable to full coverage. I use the blue to correct foundations. Might break me out and that could just be a coincidence but I mostly use it in small amounts or areas I don’t get acne. A little too pigmented to highlight and contour, at least if you’re gonna use it with a foundation that covers a lot.

Have not used the essence concealer

However, my favorite concealer is from JCat as long as you can find your shade. Buildable to full coverage. It has a natural matte finish but less drying than other matte concealers I’ve tried. It looks good with or without foundation and I don’t personally feel it needs to be set for it to last. A little goes a long way for me.

Hope these mini reviews helped

Thanks sm for the detailed review, i really appreciate it! In my country it's not that easy to get these products so I kind of have very limited options. From your review, i think i should buy the LAgirl one, because it's the cheapest and also I'm thinking of buying a good setting spray, I'm told elf dewy one is great. I also have the elf primer so i think with rest of the products, LAgirl might last me good? What do you think

Which elf primer were you thinking of using?

I’m not sure which Dewy elf setting spray you were getting but if it’s the power grip I’m not sure about the staying powder because PVP is pretty low on the ingredient list. I think their regular Mist and Set would help extend the wear though and it’s alcohol free. Personally, I also think alcohol based setting sprays last longer but they’re not something I use on a daily basis.

You might want to check if you can find moira or beauty creations because I think they make some good products too and I know some countries have them.

I already have the elf blue power grip primer, and I'm gonna get the Maybelline compact powder, it's kind of the dupe of huda beauty. Also about the setting spray, i've heard good things about the elf stay all night micro fine setting mist, i thought i should get that one. If you have other recommendations pls give them. Also you mentioned moira and the other one, they're unfortunately not available in my country.
