NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer.

/

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is one of my favorite products. I think it launched last year around this time, and I am on my second tube already. It is just one of those holy grail products that covers my skin and makes it look radiant - just as intended. Well, NARS has a new product that goes right along with it, the Radiant Creamy Concealer. I bet I'll be on my second or maybe even third tube of this one next year at this time too.

 

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

This concealer is not just for undereye circles, it is designed to be used anywhere you need a little cover up or evening out too. It is very easy to blend and it's buildable to get custom coverage. Just a dab of the sponge-tipped wand under my eyes and a little blending is all I need for my dark circles. On age spots, I dab and blend and dab and blend, until get the exact coverage I need there.

My favorite thing about this concealer is that it is - like the name implies - very creamy. This means it never cakes or creases or settles into my lines and wrinkles around my eyes.

Another way that I like to use the Radiant Creamy Concealer is to apply it on the tops of my cheekbones as a creamy, no shimmer highlighter. The color that I am using is Vanilla, which is just a tad lighter than my foundation, with a little pink undertone to it. It just makes my cheeks look radiant and pop.

This new little beauty from Benefit first had me with the name - Fake Up - followed by Crease-Control. CREASE CONTROL! If only I had control over these creases in my face. Well, that is what Benefit set out to do with this new hydrating concealer.

You see this concealer is different. Very different. It is a concealer stick, surrounded by a very special "hydrating ring".

This ring is made up of Vitamin E and Apple Seed Extract. It actually looks and feels like a very silky lip balm with a concealer in the core. But that is not important. What it important is that this ring helps the concealer do its' job better by helping the concealer to seemingly float on skin and over lines, not settling into them as most concealers do! That is what I call crease control.

Fake Up instantly hides dark circles as it diffuses those creases (fine lines) for silky smooth, long-lasting coverage. It comes in three shades to suit most skin tones: Light, Medium and Dark. It doesn't get any easier.  I am using medium and it is a perfect match for my skin.

Fake Up Crease Control Hydrating Concealer will sell for $24.00 when it becomes available in March online at benefitcosmetics.com and wherever Benefit is sold.


Pixi Wakeup Concealer.

While I have my favorite makeup concealers that I normally depend on, I still like trying to find new ones to love. As I made my summer travels over the last few months, I have taken a few concealers out for a test and one that is on the top of my list is this concealer from Pixi Beauty.

Wakeup Concealer ($18) is designed to wakeup a look with airbrushed-looking perfection. This flaw fixer erases not only dark undereye circles, but skins flaws and blemishes too.

This easy to use, magic wand concealer includes a highly pigmented formula for buildable coverage that delivers a velvety smooth finish. Made with Amaranth Seed to calm and soothe the skin, Bisabolol to serve as an anti-inflammatory, Lemon Myrtle to revitalize the skin and Milk Thistle Extract to detox the skin, and the popular Vitamin E, who knew a concealer could contain so much goodness to benefit us too.

I used the color Nude, which is a nice medium toned concealer. This also comes in Cream and Warm.

Look for Wakeup Concealer online at pixibeauty.com, Target.com and Target stores.
