MILANI CONCEALER FULL
I’d err on the side of purchasing a shade lighter.Milani Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer offers full coverage that lasts up to 12 hours. When I used this concealer prior to testing, I must have purchased a lighter shade or one with a different undertone that was more suitable for my coloring, as I can remember it oxidizing but not looking orange.
MILANI CONCEALER SKIN
It went onto my skin looking light and cool-toned and turned orange as soon as it began to dry. The concealer comes in 30 shades (when available), both cool and warm, ranging from “pure white”-which can be used as a mixer to lighten any other shade-to “deep dark.” My main complaint with Colourpop is that it oxidizes in a noticeable way. It was among the three drugstore options that should have gone to panelists-but as apparent stock issues meant that not a single tester could get their requested color (or backup color), we couldn’t fully vet it. Given how impressed I was when I used it in my personal life, I’m not surprised to see that it landed at the top of this list after extensive testing. I also appreciate its easy-to-blend, creamy formula and flat doe-foot applicator that holds the perfect amount of product. Despite its claims for a full-coverage, matte finish, I find this concealer layerable and velvety enough to sit on my skin without settling in or looking dry. I used this concealer prior to testing and loved it, which is why I wanted to throw it into the mix.
We also paid attention to whether or not the shades had different undertones (warm, neutral, and cool) and how easy it was to shade match yourself when buying online. If it came in 30 shades but 25 of them were light or medium and only five were deeper, points were docked. If it only came in 10 shades, points were docked. I’m no makeup artist, but this meant setting down each one with powder to see how it meshed with other products and layering on my everyday staples like brush and bronzer.īeyond what the concealer looks like, we heavily weighted the shade range each concealer comes in. I then used the top ones (the CoverGirl, L’Oreal, and Colourpop) in my normal makeup routine. After scoring the concealers on Julia’s calibrated rubric, I had a better idea of which one may be worthy of our Best Overall spot on this drugstore-only list. (What can I say, not all our tests are winners.) Because of this, I didn’t disqualify any concealers and went onto round two.Īt this stage, I put each concealer under my eyes to see how well it concealed dark spots, how evenly and easily it blended across this delicate area of skin, and how well it stayed throughout the day. What I learned: None of the concealers could completely mask a bright red dot, and they all faded the same amount on my arm. First, I dabbed up and down my arm with a red marker and painted each concealer over one of the dots to see how well it might cover a blemish. With the help of Reviewed senior scientist Julia MacDougall, we designed our testing in three rounds with eliminations after round two. To arrive at the 14 drugstore concealers that were tested, I combed through articles, my YouTube watch history, and retailer's best-seller pages.
Round one of testing consisted of swatching each concealer over a red dot that mimics a pimple.
For its staying power, coverage, and beautiful finish, you’ll love this drugstore concealer. Still, our test panelists felt that they received shades close enough to create a cohesive makeup look.Īfter hours of wear time, this CoverGirl concealer only faded slightly and still covered very well. Additionally, it would be easier to choose a shade if the names were reminiscent of the undertones-warm, cool, or neutral. Looking with a critical eye, this shade range could be improved with an extra option in the tan and deep categories-there are eight shades in each of the light and medium categories and seven shades in each of the tan and deep ones. I chose the shade “Classic Ivory” which proved a tad too dark and golden for my fair neutral skin, but I could get away with it. The concealer comes in 30 shades, ranging from “Fair Porcelain” in the light category to “Expresso” in the deep section. It has a larger-than-most doe-foot applicator that deposits more than enough concealer onto the skin for a full-coverage look, but it can easily be thinned out and blended into the skin on lighter makeup days.
Who would say "no" to finding their perfect concealer with a drugstore price tag on it? That’s how I feel about the CoverGirl TruBlend Undercover Concealer.
