Despite my skin imperfections, I never liked to use concealers because I find them sticky and time-consuming.
One of my favorite hacks is where you can use a concealer to create an illusion that your face is lifted or highlighted. This is by drawing a triangle with the base under your eye and the point toward your cheek. Drawing a line on the forehead, bridge of my nose, cupid’s bow, and chin could lift them as well. I used a damped beauty blender to blend into a seamless finish.
I used Maybelline Fit Me concealer in Light
This is how it looks after blending. See the difference? Make sure you use 1 or 2 shades lighter to accentuate the highlight points. Afterwards, use a loose translucent powder to set. My current favorite powder is the Nichido Final Powder in Creamy Glow.
Other concealer hacks you can try:
1. Use your concealer as an eyelid primer to avoid your eyeshadows from falling out and creasing. It actually works the same like an actual eyeshadow primer. It also helps to hide away the veins on your eyelids before applying your eyeshadows.
2. Apply a concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone above and below your brows for a more appealing look. Make sure to blend it after for a natural finish.
3. Use concealer to sharpen your cat-eye with an angled brush.
4. Prevent your lipstick from bleeding by lining the outside of your lips using a lip brush and a bit of a concealer.
5. Green concealers are for correcting red spots and blemishes. Purple concealer is used to eliminate unwanted yellow undertones. Pink/peachy concealer to cover up your dark undereye circles. Yellow-toned concealers used to even out your skin tone.
Anyhow, let us move on to the product arena!

I primarily used it as an eyelid primer because it sets as a matte finish. It has a good coverage and great to conceal minor blemishes. My only gripe is that it accentuates my dry patches if I didn’t apply a moisturizer beforehand. Other than that, it’s a pretty decent drugstore concealer and budget-friendly too! It has 4 shades available: Fair, Beige, Light, and Medium.
Sadly, this concealer is not available locally as of this typing.
On the contrary, I won’t recommend the applicator to be used on your client’s face for hygienic reasons.
If you are looking for a full-coverage concealer at a pocket-friendly price, this is what you’re looking for.
It has a thick yet lightweight texture that covers most of your blemishes. No wonder, this concealer is one of the most popular drugstore concealers these days. Of course, I won’t let it pass without trying it myself and admittedly, I was pretty impressed with how it performs. The green corrector is very useful to minimize the redness and stubborn blemishes. My only gripe is the brush applicator which I find an unhygienic same case with the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer. Apart from that, it sometimes creases but not noticeable, depends on the weather, I guess. This concealer has a wide variety of shades from correctors to darker shades that you can also use for wet contouring.
All in all, these are good for drugstore concealers.
As mentioned, some of them are available locally while others can be purchased online.

These are such helpful tips. I really appreciate knowing some ways to use concealer. There certainly are lots of color options.
Great batch!! I use some of these myself and they're quite nice, I'd recommend the Maybelline Concealer a lot
I need to use concealer more. Thanks for the demo as it sure helps me.
I use the green stuff because i have high colouring. Once it's rubbed in, it really does the job. I love it.
I would have loved to see a before and after with the green. I just want to see how well that works. Great results.
Maybelline concealers are great for everyday. I like LA Girl concealers for special events, they are soo good and cheap.
I'm going to run out today and get the Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer. I love how it looks matches and blends in with your skin tone. I've never been able to quite perfect green concealers.
also the concealer hacks are brilliant. I use it to out;ine my lips, so the greying wont show on top of the lipstick.
maybelline age rewind looks handy. i think I'll buy myself that one
I like buying concealers and I don't mind where as long as it is safe and I trust the brand.
I like these hacks! I also have a battle whenever I buy my concealer.
Great review, I appreciate it, will look these up. You have great skin, btw!
I don't know how you never used concealer! It hides so many sins haha These are some great tips though, I literally use it to hide imperfections at the moment so will try this
Good to know that there are many affordable concealers to choose from. Thanks for reviewing each one! These are great brands too.
I love this good review, I am using L.A girl Pro conceal orange corrector for a months and it good for me
I LOVE the Maybelline concealer. It is the best I have every tried. I also love the foundation that comes with the same type of application. I don't know if I could ever use anything else ever again. PLEASE PLEASE don't ever stop making that product!!!!
I am going to have to try some of these out. I live in the south and the humidity to me make most makeup a pain. I really think these will be different. They seem to be light and I am excited to try them out!
I am very interested in trying these out. I agree some are too thick.
I have used Covergirl in the past. The Maybelline one looks interesting. I will have to chekc it out.
I love the tips on how to use concealer. It's not something I've ever been very school in, so I find it interesting.
I'm clueless when it comes to makeup, especially concealer. These are all great tips on which one's to use.
I use the LA girl concealer and love it. I went to MAC store a few years ago and the girl suggested a shade for me and it was completely wrong and expensive! I'll stick to my LA girl!
its great that these choices are all budget friendly and cool products to chose from. will share with my mom and sister
I use LA girl orange corrector and green corrector, and I love the result
Wowthanks for sharing ❤️

Mahilig ako sa concealer buti pa sa kanya nagiging even ang skin tone ko hehe gustong gusto ko natatakpan ang dark circles sa eyes ko
Concealer is the most useful product which is used for makeup. Without using makeup, you can not show off your beautifulness. I like this products very much.
