My Concealers

My best friend at the moment, from the moment  I  open my eyes ( these days its 6:30 ), is concealer.I am really not that brave to go out with enormous puffiness under my eyes. Concealer simply hide the fact that you have not really had 8h sleep last night ( or not even 6), until 2 pm when you can not stop yawning - in that case drink double espresso :) .
So my winning combination for early morning is big cup of black Turkish - Bosnian coffee and a concealer .

These days I have been using four concealers :

• Maybelline Jade - Instant Anti-Age Effect - 03 Fair
• Maybelline Fit Me - Concealer - 15
• NYX HD Concealer - CW 02
• Loreal Indefectible Sculpt - Contouring Palette - 01 Light ( highlighting part, which isn't really a highlighter, you can read more at the post about ( Loreal Indefectible Sculpt Palette )

At pictures below you can see all four of them and you can also notice that they are all different in shades but I find them good anyway for my  skin tone.

Maybelline Jade Instant Anti Age Effect

You can find this concealer at the drugstore in two shades : Ivory 01 and Sand 03. According to their names you would probably say that the first one is for cold skin tone and the second one is for warm skin tone, but I have cold skin tone but I am using the shade Sand 03. I am either  that bad at choosing the right shade or their names are not really suitable for their shades.

So here is what this concealer is promising and doing in the reality :

• erase dark circles, puffiness and fine lines instantly - so I am completely satisfied with all of the above
• easy applying and blending with micro applicator - so I am not really using this applicator to blend it, it looks really more natural when I blend it with a beauty blender ( real techniques )
• active formula with Haloxyl reduces the look of puffiness
• you can but you do not have to set it with a powder, it doesn't get into the fine lines and it doesn't get cakey during the day. you can use it for any other parts of the face which you want to highlight . At the moment the only negative thing is that it is available only in two shades ( in Europe )
• price 9,90 €

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

There are 4 shades available at the drugstore 10 Light, 15 Fair , 20 Sand and 25 Medium what isn't so bad but there are more shades available in the US, so perhaps they will be available here soon. It is supposed to make the skin look fresh, breathable and natural  but I can say that it is a bit heavier on the skin compering it to the previous one ( Maybelline Jade Anti Age Concealer ) .

• this concealer is oil free
• it reduces under eye puffiness - that I can confirm
• it comes with little applicator which makes the applying easier and they suggest that you use your fingers to blend it- I apply it with applicator then blend it a bit with fingers and then with a beauty blender so the skin looks really smooth
• BUT this concealer you simply have to set with a powder because it quickly gets into all fine lines that you were and weren't aware of :) and it becomes cakey after a while so please set it :)
• price 6,99 €

NYX HD Photogenic Concealer Wand

This concealer is a bit different because it is also available in other shades like green ( to reduce the appearance of redness ) , lavender ( for sallow skin ) , yellow ( for under-eye darkness ) but there are also normal shades available. For the best effect you are supposed to combine these shades but you can also use only one shade - i use only one and it works perfectly for me.

• it covers under eye circles and puffiness and it does it pretty well
• its texture is very light and it creates medium to heavy coverage - but you do not feel the heaviness on your skin
• it doesn't get into your fine lines and it doesn't get cakey or obvious
• HD Photogenic is supposed to mean that it behaves very good during recording or taking a photos which I didn't test but anyway I am very pleased with the look of my skin even at the end of the day
• price 6,99 €

Loreal Indefectible Sculpt Contouring Palette -

You could already read a post about this palette and a review at my blog - link Loreal Indefectible Sculpt. So I usually use that light part of the palette as a concealer because even though it has a creamy texture at the beginning, after applying it on your skin it becomes powdery and its very light and smooth.

So in this post you could read about my experiences with the four drugstore concealers which are very popular among the bloggers and vloggers.

Enjoy the spring without under-eye puffiness  and dark circles. Stay beautiful and happy :*

  Trenutno moj najbolji prijatelj, od momenta kada se probudim ( sto je relativno rano 6:30 ) , je concealer. Ne vjerujem da bih se usudila izaci tako nenaspavana, sa podocnjacima do poda, bez njega. Jednostavno sakrije cinjenicu da niste spavali ni 6, a kamo li 8 h prethodnu noc sve do momenta kada nekad oko 13h pocnete zijevati :D to je vec nesto drugo. 
Velika solja crne kafe I concealer su mi top jutarnja kombinacija.

Trenutno koristim cetiri concealera :

• Maybelline Jade - Instant Anti-Age Effekt - 03 Fair nijansa
• Maybelline Fit Me - Concealer - 15 nijansa
• NYX HD Concealer - CW 02 nijansa
• Loreal Indefectible Sculpt - Contouring Palette - 01 Light ( dio za highlight, koji zapravo nije kao highlighter sto mozete procitati u postu Loreal Indefectible Sculpt Palette )

Na slikama mozete vidjeti da su sve cetiri razlicite nijanse ( redoslijed je isti na prvoj I na drugoj slici ) . Iako su razlicite nijanse, meni sve odgovaraju .

Maybelline Jade - Instant Anti-Age Effekt

U prodaji se moze naci u dvije nijanse Ivori 01 I Sand 03. Prema nazivima reklo bi se da Prva nijansa odgovara hladnom podtonu a druga toplom. Za sebe bih prije rekla da sam hladni podton ali eto odgovara mi I ova druga nijansa.

Eh sta sve obecava I sta sve ispunjava :

• prekrivanje nateknutih i tamnih podocnjaka kao i sitnih bora  - moze se reci da je ovu zadacu odradio korektno i da sam zadovoljna
• lahko nanosenje aplikatorom koji se nalazi na vrhu - iskreno ja ga tako nanesem ali mnogo ljepse izgleda kada ga izblendam beauty blenderom nego kada koristim taj isti aplikator u obliku spuzvice za blendanje
• goji bobice i Haloxyl bi trebali da budu dobitna kombinacija kod smanjenja oteknutih podocnjaka
• moze a i ne mora se setovati, ne uvlaci se toliko u bore i linije, vrlo je dugotrajan, moze se koristiti i za ostale dijelove na licu koje zelite posvijetliti. Trenutno mu je mana sto je u prodaji samo u 2 nijanse ali sam vidjela da u USA vec ima veci izbor nijansi tako da :) pun pogodak.
• Cijena 9,90 €

Maybelline Fit Me - Concealer

U prodaji trenutno u cetiri nijanse 10 Light, 15 Fair , 20 Sand , 25 Medium sto je prilicno dovoljno mada i u ovom slucaju, u USA ima vise nijansi, tako da ce vjerovatno nakon nekog vremena i ovdje biti u prodaji.

• ovaj concealer je bez ulja, sto je dobro, pogotovo za osobe sa masnom kozom iako dio ispod ociju nije najmasniji dio na licu ali svejedno nisam neko ko zeli nesto masno na tako osjetljivom dijelu lica
• prekrije podocnjake i smanji natecenost istih - time sam zadovoljna
• mali aplikator na vrhu omogucava lakse nanosenje, preporucuju da se blenda prstima ali ja naravno blendam kao i prethodni, beauty blenderom
• ovaj se, za razliku od prethodnog, MORA setovati jer brzo postane "kejki" i uvuce se u sve moguce i nemoguce linije i bore koje imate pa i nemate :D takav dojam ostavlja ako ga ne setujete
• cijena 6.99 €

NYX HD Concealer

Ovaj je malo specificniji jer ga mozete naci i u drugim nijansama kao sto je zuta ( za prekrivanje tamnih podocnjaka ) , zelena ( za prekrivanje crvenila ) ali i najobicnije nijanse. Za najboji efekat trebalo bi kombinovati ako imate sve te simptome a moze se koristiti i samo jedna nijansa.

• prekriva natecene i tamne podocnjake veoma dobro
• ima vrlo laganu teksturu i dobru prekrivnu moc - srednja do potpuna
• takodjer ima mali aplikator koji olaksava nanosenje a zatim ga ja blendam blenderom
• ne uvlaci se u fine linije i pore i ne postaje " Cakey "
• HD bi trebalo da znaci da je vrlo dobar prilikom snimanja i slikanja sto jos nisam provjerila ali sam svejedno zadovoljna kako izgleda na kozi i na kraju dana

Loreal Indefectible Sculpt Contouring Palette -

O njoj sam vec napisala recenziju tako da ako vas zanima mozete procitati na linku Loreal Indefectible Sculpt. Uglavnom, rado koristim i taj svijetli dio palate kao concealer jer i pored toga sto je kremast, kako sam vec napisala, nakon par minuta poprima oblik pudera i vrlo je lagan na licu.

Eto drage moje cetiri razlicita drogerijska concealera po pristupacnim cijenama, koji jako dobro obavljaju svoju funkciju i jako su popularni medju blogericama i youtuberkama :) - kakve sve rijeci necemo upotrijebiti, mislim da se ljudi kojima je eng. maternji jeze na ovakve izraze i da I'm nista ne bude tacno kada naidju na nesto ovakvo :D . Ko im je kriv sto nemaju padeze  : P .

Uzivajte u proljecu bez podocnjaka :*
