BEAUTY BIO
When it comes to beauty, my main focus is achieving glowing skin. Having dry skin has meant that I've struggled with wearing a full face of makeup. So, finding the right products that work with my skin type and help me achieve that much-coveted lit-from-within look is a real 'kerching' moment.
THE REVIEW
I’m super fussy when it comes to concealers and how their formula feels and looks on my skin. There is nothing worse than applying a product for it to flake in the areas it's supposed to be accentuating, am I right? The creamy consistency of this concealer feels smooth and hydrating, and it blends effortlessly into the skin, banishing dark circles and leaving a flawless radiant finish.
With its buildable medium-high coverage, you’re able to create the look you desire, whether that’s a subtle glowing makeup look or a full-glam glow. Brownie points: it's enriched with acanthium flower extract and Vitamin E, which help to hydrate skin, repair imperfections, and hide tired looking skin. To apply, use the handy built-in applicator and add a few dots under the eyes. You can simply blend it out with your finger or use your favourite beauty sponge.
THE VERDICT
Thanks to its ability to banish my dark circles and help me cheat that 'I totally got 8 hours sleep' look, this little beauty has earned a hard-to-achieve spot in my makeup bag.

Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer, £27.50, Space NK
What's great about this little compact is that there are not one, but two concealer shades. Mixed together, the lighter and darker shade form a great hue to hide under-eye circles. The darker shade is best for covering persistent blemishes.

This 'industrial strength' concealer works wonders on tired-looking eyes. It's a classic firm favourite amongst beauty insiders, and for good reason.
Amazing Concealer by Amazing Cosmetics, £19.50, Cult Beauty
Branded amazing and rightfully so, this lesser-known concealer gives such great coverage only a tiny amount is needed.
Kat Von D Lock It Concealer, £20, Debenhams
Kat Von D's concealers and foundations are so high coverage they can cover tattoos - something Kat had in mind when formulating them. There's a good shade range, too.

We all love Estee Lauder's Double Wear foundation and BB cream, and the range's concealer is just as effective. Extra pigmented and creamy, this little pot is a must-buy.
La Mer 'the concealer', £55, Selfridges
The holy grail of skincare brands, La Mer is also pretty appealing for its small yet well-formed makeup line. The concealer is creamy, pigmented and great for bags and blemishes alike.

Light and serum-based, yet pigmented and long-wearing, Urban Decay's Naked Skin Concealer is the perfect skincare-meets-makeup product.
