Concealer recs?

My skin has been super dry lately, and concealer has been really looking awful on me lately.
I know it may be a skin thing, not a makeup thing - but I have tried MAC concealer, Tarte tape shape, IT cosmetics, and and estee lauder one. Thank god for Ulta and their return policy.

Does anyone have one that doesnt settle into lines and flake off on dry skin?

Ever since benefit discontinued their play sticks I have been on the hunt too. Also tried shape tape and it sucked. Currently using color gc from Sephora and a beauty blender. However try microderm abrasion. It cleaned up all old dead dry skin and leaving skin so smooth. Easier to moisturize. If you can find a mini session it shouldn’t be more than $99. In theory I want to do it monthly but usually do 2x a year. Feels great!

Re: Concealer recs?

It really is a skin thing. If you know your skin has been extra dry, go for a facial and then start using an ultra hydrating series and cream at night to bring back your moisture. Then the concealer you’ve been using without an issue should start working how you want it to work

I’m telling you. I went for a Beauty / make up lesson at Sephora years and years ago. The one thing I learned that sticks with me is it isn’t always the make up you’re using that helps you look your best, it’s the skin care routine you do daily that really makes or breaks the look you want to achieve. I’ve found that to be totally true

Try putting Aquaphor on dry patches at night (if you're not vegan-it has lanolin in it) and don't use a long wearing concealer.

Tarte Shape Tape, Mac Pro longwear, L'oreal infallible pro-wear are all drying.
I'm surprised It bothered you- the bye bye under eye was very emollient to me, but maybe you used a different one.

Are you looking for under eyes, oir the face in general?

Look for anti-aging concealers, they are usually more moisturizing. The Maybelline Age rewind is good, I have heard good things about the Tarte Rainforest of the sea concealer and Mac Moisture select moisture cover.

I use Revlon Photoready Concealer.
I have dry skin and it never settles in lines or flakes on me. I find it very rich and creamy.
It's not too expensive either. Love it.

Under eye - I have dark circles so that's what I am looking to correct.

I have this problem and end up skipping concealer a lot. But I do like 'RMS uncover', layered over the tiniest bit of weldeda skin food. It's more of a sheer dewy look if that's something that you would like to try.

I responded before with a concealer but if it’s under eye circles you are talking about, ole henderick has a yellow cream you put on before concealer that I like. It reduces the red/purple color. Or you can use a peach corrector before your concealer to do the same.

I like the Revlon Photo Ready for under eyes. I use Benefit Boing for everything else
