I normally use a damp Beautyblender to blend it in, but sometimes I like to use my fingers. I love watching the applicator bend as I swipe on stripes (typically three) under my eyes, starting along the sides of my nose (the deepest, most sunken-in part of my under-eye area), following my orbital bone to just beyond the outer corners of my eyes. It's squoval-shaped, moves flexibly from left to right, and it's incredibly satisfying to use. I typically use the lightest of the three, 5N, a neutral medium-brown shade, but reach for 6N when I get a little tan or I don't want a highlighted quality to my concealer.įirst, I am obsessed with the fuzzy, doe-foot applicator. There are three colors in the shade range that work for medium-dark to dark skin tones. Their setting powder and Secret Camouflage concealer are legendary, so I had high expectations for their newest liquid concealer, which comes in 12 shades. When Laura Mercier's Best of Beauty-winning Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Concealer first came across my desk, I was psyched. I'm not trying to mattify my under-eyes (at least not too much), and I definitely don't want red or orange-toned circles around my eyes (I call it "the reverse Donald Trump") or yellow cheeks. When wearing concealer without foundation, I like my concealer to actually look like the texture and color of skin. But I do love looking like I'm well-rested (which I am certainly not most of the time), so concealer is more my jam. I don't wear foundation often, because I don't like the feel of it on my skin. Concealer might be one of the most important parts of my makeup routine, besides my brows.
