Concealer Recommendations

    I'm on the hunt for a decent concealer. I currently use Rimmel's Hide the Blemish, but I find it a bit too cakey. Could anyone recommend a good concealer for covering up the usual stuff, but spots in particular? I'm in my teens, so nothing too heavy. Also I don't like concealers where you have to use your fingers all the time, such as stick concealers like the one I already use - too much potential contamination for my likings, so preferably something that I can squeeze out of a tube, or something. Are there any decent concealers like that, that people would recommend? Also, my budget is much more Boots than Brown Thomas, so nothing too expensive. Sorry to sound so picky :o

    Maybelline mineral concealer, great for under eye too.

    Borjois have one that has the brush built in (can't think of the name) and it gives beautiful coverage! It's really light and only costs about a tenner! And you get it in boots..! ;)

    I use the Aldi one, only about a fiver for it. It's the click pen type one with a brush on the tip of it.

    I've used loads from expensive to cheap and it's by far the best I've ever had! So good I've stuck with it cos most I found irritated my skin, caked on my skin. But this one is brill, hides what ever I want, brings dark eyes or red marks back to my own skin colour and can hide all under the small amount of foundation I wear! When I do get a spot... I get it badddddd and then dryness in the place of the spot for like a week later and it still goes on perfect and hides all.

    Best one I've ever used is the Tesco "make-up" concealer, the one in the little square tub (although tub is probably the wrong word, but it's not a tube or stick :o) It's not as cakey as the stick concealers and I find liquid concealers aren't thick enough to give good coverage for blemishes (they're ok for under eyes).

    It's about 6 euro, I apply it with my fingers but you could use a little concealer brush to apply it either. It's brilliant.

    I like the no7 stick from boots, i use a concealer brush to apply it. I buy it because its only a couple of quid with the boots no 7 vouchers!

    try the body shop concealer. they have a pencil one, and another in a stick format, i know you dont want one that you will be touching all the time, but they have great coverage. just ask in store, they will be happy to help a girl out :D

    As mentioned above, the Aldi one is decent enough. Comes in a few shades and got excellent reviews when it was launched first and has won a few awards I think. Worth a try anyway for €5...

    The Benefit "It Stick" is nice too but I'd only ever use it as an under eye concealer, I think that's about €20.

    Essence do a great one, its a compact with green/pink/skin tones green is great for covering redness from spots, could apply with a cotton bud or brush, its around €3 euro.
    Also, L'Oreal mineral concealer is really good

    I'm pretty sure it's discontinued, I love it but can't find it anywhere!
