There are few everyday events more stressful than having a last minute breakout. I believe I’d break down every now and again if it haven’t been for my trusted concealer.
Every woman needs one. I would go so far as to say that concealer is to a makeup bag like a little black dress is to a woman’s wardrobe. It’s a must-have item.
I don’t know about you, but I simply can’t and won’t do without this makeup item. I keep one at home and one in my bag at all times, just in case. Some brands offer handy travel sizes that can easily be popped into your purse, too.
You may be new to using concealer. In that case, where do you start? Which factors should you consider?
There are quite honestly hundreds of brands out there who profess to have the best product on the market. Do you judge them by affordability? Do you check what ingredients are used in each of the products that you buy?
Let’s take a look at what’s out there, and more specifically let’s see which products can work for us. Think natural, think organic. While you keep these criteria in mind, it is also essential to remember that the fresh and natural products also have a shorter shelf-life than traditional, synthetic makeup. So, don’t buy in bulk.
Here are some of my favorite brands of concealer.
Aisling Organics
Aisling Organics have a vast, fantastic range of products in offer. Their affordable concealer from the Eco Collection will not only cover over any impurities, but it will also condition your skin. As a result, this concealer will leave your skin feeling great and looking great too.
You can check out their full range online, and even place orders directly online too on their website. You can also purchase their products at various outlets country-wide. With a host of organic vegan ingredients, this concealer will leave your skin looking better than ever before.
Kat Von D Beauty
Kat’s Lock-It concealer creme is available in 21 different colors. All of Kat’s products are now officially 100% vegan and cruelty-free too.
Kat’s concealer promises to give you true 24-hour cover and is light enough to keep your skin feeling soft and smooth. The added ultra-moisturizing hydra-boost complex also helps to keep your skin feeling nourished all day long.
OCC Skin
OCC Skin’s Conceal has an incredible hydrating formula, leaving your skin feeling fabulous.
With natural ingredients like aloe leaf extract and cocoa extract, this versatile concealer can be used not only to hide those blemishes but also to highlight and contour the areas you want to bring more attention to.
Pacifica
This well-known brand’s transcendent concentrated concealer is a great product, especially for those areas underneath tired eyes. Although they do have a limited range of shades, it’s very worth it to have a look online at their range of products.
Cargo HD Concealer
The Cargo HD Picture Perfect concealer not only works wonders when you need to cover up blemishes, but it is said to do magic when it comes to hiding away wrinkles, too. As such, it doubles up as a concealer and a primer, all at the same time.
Final Thoughts
These are just a few of the brands I loved, but there are many others out there offering amazing products that will have you looking and feeling fantastic as well.
Spend some time and do your homework to see what product works best for you. While some of the more prominent brands have great products, some of the smaller ones also offer excellent quality products at really affordable prices. For a product you will likely be using often, this is a huge consideration.
