All About Drugstore Undereye Concealers

Hey guys!
As some of you may know, I suffer from very bad undereye circles. I have tried almost all of the undereye concealers from the drugstore! No lie! So, I thought It was fitting to do a review on all of them. If you want a review on the high end ones I've tried, I can make that happen.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Highlighting Concealer:
This concealer is raved about so much! I've even actually used up a whole stick. However, since I have very dark undereye circles, it's not enough coverage for me. It does do a good job at highlighting and not being cakey though! It gives a good amount of coverage on my eyes, but my purple undereyes still peek through. So, I would very STRONGLY recommend this concealer for someone with light to medium undereye circles. If your someone with light to medium circles, Go Get This! It would be a miracle worker on you!
Price-$7-8

Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless Undereye Concealer:
So this is also a concealer literally everyone+ their mother raves about! So of course I had to go pick it up. Might I just say how extremely disappointed I was with the results! This concealer has a covergirl concealer with swirls of Olay moisturizer in it. So perfect for the undereye right! NO! I literally don't understand why people rave over this at all! It has very yellow undertones and doesn't blend in well! ALSO ,IT'S VERY NOTICABLE THAT YOU ARE WEARING CONCEALER. It's so extremely cakey looking. I'm not fond of this at all! I really don't recommend this and I really don't understand why everyone raves about it at all!

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer+Highlighter:
Surprise surprise, this is again a concealer everyone raves about. Surprise surprise, again I dont prefer it. It's very yellowy, although its not that bad once blended. However, it doesn't cover up my dark circles very well either. It's an okay amount of coverage but not great at all. It would probably work good for you if you have light to medium dark circles. Another thing I've found is that it doesn't highlight really at all. One more thing, it's not long lasting AT ALL! Even If you set it with a powder, it almost completely comes off!

Sonia Kashuk Brightening Pencil+Concealer:
This product isn't talked abou nearly as much as the others. So,I shall explain. What it is a double sided eye stick. One side is a brightening pencil and the other is a concealer. I'm not very fond of this product either. The brightening pencil just plain sucks! Your supposed to rub it under your eyes, which is very tricky. First off, all that comes off is a bunch of chunky glitter. Then, it pulls at your undereye area. The concealer, is actually a pretty good concealer though. It's a very liquidy texture,but if you let it sit on you eyes for a minute or two then it does a great job at concealing. However, since my circles are so bad, it doesn't fully conceal them. But again, if you have light to medium dark circles this would be amazing for you!
One more thing, this is pretty long lasting especially if you add a powder!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer:
This is also a very very raved about undereye concealer. Guess what! I don't like it at all! It's a very watery concealer and doesn't concealer undereyes good at all. This would be good for light undereye circles but DEFINITLY not medium or dark! It isn't long lasting AT ALL, even with a powder. It's not good coverage in the first place, but after a couple hours, it's NO COVERAGE! I don't understand the rave about this either! One thing that
this concealer is very good at is not creasing! If you have fine lines and wrinkles under your eyes and light undereye circles, get this concealer!

Covergirl Invisible Concealer:
This concealer isn't talked a lot about. This is very understandable because this concealer seriously sucks! I've never tried something so horrible! It is very invisible because it doesn't even show up at all! It literally doesnt give ANY coverage! I don't recommend this for anyone!

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer:
This concealer is very talked about. I enjoy it but its very very very thick! It can cover up birth marks, scars, pimples, etc. However, because of how thick it is you can definitely tell your wearing concealer. It can look cakey because of the thickness.A little tiny bit goes a very long way. The thickness of this makes it hard to work under they eye.I have worn it under my eye before though. It's not the best but does okay. This is a great concealer for coverage, however it's so thick you have to use a very tiny amount under the eye. This results in not as much coverage as this concealer is capable of. But if you use any more, it will look really cakey. Also, it comes in 3 shades and the lightest shade I would prefer to be lighter. It's a good shade, but for my undereyes I want more of a highlight color. In the long run, this concealer is made for very heavy duty concealing. That it is good at. But,for acne it can look really cakey, but still gives amazing coverage. I would recommend this for covering up birthmarks or scars.You can use it for the undereye but I would recommend that use for people with medium circles. The key to this concealer is a tiny tiny tiny amount!

Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette:
This palette comes with 3 concealers and one powder. They only have 2 different shades of palettes out. One lighter one and one darker one. This is where my problem is. I'm very very pale(pretty much like a ghost) so the lighter palette isn't light enough for me. However, concealer wise, the concealer does work pretty good for undereyes, and great for acne. It's very blendable, and good for both! I recommend medium to darker skin tones for this and light through medium/sort of dark undereye circles.
Price-$10.99

Okay, Thank you for reading this extremely long blog. Haha. I hope you enjoyed! Also, this isn't all the concealers I've tried, but the ones that I feel are the most talked about. The onei recommend the most is probably Maybelline Dream Lumi and Sonia Kahuk Hidden Agenda.
