Conceal, don't feel

If there was an ever an opportunity to quote from Frozen...
 
 My skin has been going through a blemish and under eye circle debacle of late and sometimes I just wish there was some sort of Harry Potter-esque spell I could use to make them go away. The next best thing being the concealers that have almost been tricking people into thinking I have good skin. Almost.
 
Rimmel Wake Me Up in Ivory
Described as having a 'radiant glow' this isn't really something you want to be using on any blemishes but for concealing  under the eyes this definitely does the job. It also lasts well during the day without creasing which I find to be an essential on my combination oily skin.
 
Collection Lasting Perfection in Fair
Everyone and their pencil case's pencil's sharpener has talked about this concealer so I'll keep it to a minimum. It does exactly what it says on the tin tube, is long lasting, high coverage and, on my skin, doesn't cake.
 
Bourjois Healthy Mix in Light Radiance
 This particular concealer works well both under the eyes and on blemishes. I use this on slightly better skin days and, as it is slightly thicker, I find that it can crease after a few hours if applied liberally. This just means I end up using less whilst trying to perfect the Lisa Eldridge concealing  technique dab, dab...
 
Do you use any of these concealers?

The Ultimate Concealer

 
 
Hello everyone, hope you're all well! In the past six months that I've been writing on this little blog I've barely talked about my favourite concealer. Its not often I would pin such a prestige title on a product, but for this concealer, I don't have to think twice. As you can see by the rubbed of packaging these are often used and can be found at the bottom of my handbag, coat pockets and have even been spotted in my pencil case. Presented with even the worst under eye circles, redness or blemish this superhero product will conceal it. And it won't budge.
 
For starters it only costs £4.19 so having multiple tubes lying around isn't going to set you back a fortune. I also quite like the packaging, how the stickers tell you which shade and when the name rubs off I think it looks fairly high end. It blends really easily and doesn't crease under the eyes or cake around blemishes. This product comes in four shades and I use Fair (Shade 1) in winter and Light (Shade 2) when the sun makes an appearance and my skin tone darkens slightly.
 
Out of all the concealers I've tried nothing quite beats this! Which is your ultimate concealer?
