best budget/mid range concealer???

miss choc

I'm looking for the best concealer esp for awful dark circles I have fair skin so they take on a lovely bluey/purplish tone lovely I dont have many scars, spots etc but if I got an all rounder would be great. I don't want to spend a ridicuous price can't really afford Nars, Laura Mercier, Mac Benefit et all I like a creamy solid one that wont crease in my lines and is long lasting a big ask but just seeing if there is a magic wand/stick out there.

The Maybelline fit me concealer is amazing, its so light and silky, but it has great coverage, it doesn't crease, cake etc. It's so creamy and blends so beautifully, you can build it up for more coverage too without a cakey look.

The fit me foundation is the same, its just gorgeous, but its very shiny (the concealer isn't though) so you'd need to powder it down.

Maybelline buy one get one half price in Boots at the moment too.

^^ +1 for Maybelline fit me!

Collection Lasting Perfection in Fair is about €5.50. It has good coverage but needs to be touched up after about 6 hours. I haven't found any concealer that lasts as long as my foundation as of yet though so I live with the touch ups.

I just got my hands on the Maybelline one today so I'm going to see how it fares against my two favourite concealers from Clarins and NARS and I'll report back!

My new favourite is the Beautiful Movements Mineral Concealor in Vanish.
For my dark circles I also use the Beautiful Movements Finishing powder in Dewy Perfection.

I originally got a tester of the dewy perfection in a glossybox ages ago and fell in love, so went back for more plus the concealor! - I'm thinking of trying their foundation next.

I can't post links but a quick google will bring you to their site.
Shipping only took 3 days at most if i can remember correctly.

I use Collection Lasting Perfection as well and it's really good! It's in a tube with a doe foot applicator. Roughly €6.49 in Boots I think. I also bought the Catrice Cream Concealer recently and that's good too, that's a solid one in a screw lid pot if that's the kind you're looking for. That's only €3.49ish and readily available in Penneys. I find both have really good coverage, it just depends which format you like for your concealer. I don't have particularly bad undereye circles but both of these cover whatever blueness is there easily, and both are great for blemishes too.

I know that a lot of bloggers rave about the Maybelline Age Rewind with the sponge top for undereyes but I haven't tried that yet so I can't vouch for it. I don't know how much coverage it gives, it might give more of an illuminating effect than actually concealing.

My fave concealer is Lancome effacernes it will last you forever its a big enough tube.

I have found a brill budget dupe though in the form of nyx concealer! Its really good coverage and a bargain price. I lost my lancome one (Gutted!) and have been using nyx ever since and I love it

+1 for the collection concealer. Cheap, has really good staying power and great coverage!

Would you ever think of trying a colour corrector? I use the Catrice concealer palette which has a salmon coloured concealer for dark undereyes. I wouldn't be the best judge of how great it is as I don't really have bad dark circles but it works well for me.

Yes this is what I learned from the make up colour wheel
To counteract the blue/grey color under the eyes, you need to use a color opposite on the color wheel which would be orange. If you have fair skin, you’ll want a light to medium peach color. For medium to dark skin, a dark peach or orange color.
