Still on the hunt for my hg concealer. Won't bother trying these ones.

Concealer is the one makeup product I never leave the house without, so I was relieved my favorite was not listed here!

I can gladly ignore most of the concealers listed. There is hope for the Physician's Formula version, however; it works--once you truly learn how to work WITH it!

Good to know. I'm very picky about concealers, so it's nice to know why these ones are ineffective.

Nice article! Now I know what to stay away from.

Great slide show, now i know exactly what not to try! I always stand and stare for hours trying to see what kind of texture concealers are going to be

for me I have to distinguish concealers between those that are more suited for under the eyes versus those that lend themselves to camouflaging spots or discoloration on the face. Even though I have super oily skin, I always add a good eye cream prior to applying concealer and allow it to absorb while I apply my makeup. If I have a day where I find I need extra coverage under my eyes, I first dab eye primer under my eyes (Laura Mercier) then add a pink toned concealer (not brightener) Benefit Erase Paste, then add a little concealer that is more viscous in a shade lighter than my skin tone; Lumi or Maybelline Age Rewind. This gives me excellent coverage and doesn't look dried or settle in my fine lines. I also am careful to never get face primer under my eyes otherwise my concealer balls up or looks too thick. Hope some of these tricks help some of you.

I love Laura Mercier secret camouflage.

I have a terrible time with concealers, So I just mix up various make-ups I have and it tends to work pretty good

The cover girl one is not horrible, but it's not that great either.

One concealer missing from this worst list is Tarte's maracuja creaseless waterproof concealer. It was the worst concealer I've used in over 10 years hands down. I won't skip concealer on a so-called no makeup day. This product collected in my under eye fine lines, causing a crepe skin look, the coverage was minimal. It did apply easily, but didn't enhance or cover or conceal anything.

Sometimes I think they could pick better user reviews for these products. It's good to know what not to buy though. Glad they do these little articles.

Concealers seem to be some of the things that you have to go high end to get the best quality.

The revlon colorstay one was horrible.

by michellefuentes Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 10:59PM Report as inappropriate

Not sure why CG Fresh Complexion Under-Eye concealer is on the list. It works great for me and you can use it on other parts of the face. It is a more sheerer coverage, so it wouldn't be good if you needed heavier coverage.

I HAVEN'T TRIED ANY OF THESE .THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!!!

Ever?

by LittleBunny Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 10:48AM Report as inappropriate

Thanks for the heads up. I think I will splurge and go with Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer.

Yikes! These sound awful. Thanks for the warnings!

by Jewelrydesigner Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 09:28AM Report as inappropriate

I could not agree with this list more. I have been searching for a concealer that conceals and none of these worked. I have found that I do really like the Tarte Maracuja Concealer and Laura Geller's Real Deal Concealer.

Thanks for the advice!

I have never liked a concealer yet. I gave up.

by modinosaur Sunday, January 8, 2012 at 03:04PM Report as inappropriate

I use the covergirl fresh complextion concealer everyday and it works great! I dont know why its on this list!

by MizzCupcake Monday, December 5, 2011 at 04:22PM Report as inappropriate

I'm glad I know what not to buy. Sometimes even really great companies make bad products.

by taryn.romero Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 08:03AM Report as inappropriate

im really shocked also that MAC,covergirl and also Revlon is in this list.. tsk tsk tsk

omg I tried the revlon colorstay... IT IS BAD NEWS... just saying

by gisellemarie Monday, September 26, 2011 at 02:24PM Report as inappropriate

Some of the best concealers I've tried would have to be Rimmel London's Match Perfection, Mac Studio Sculpt, and Hard CAndy Glamoflauge which is absolutely amazing!

I have yet to find a decent concealer

That Avon concealer is just AWFUL. I tried it once, and then threw it away.

ew, wow.

The concealer for L'Oreal did not work for me, and neither did the rest of the line.

by brendag20127 Friday, March 18, 2011 at 01:38PM Report as inappropriate

I am surprised to see MAC and Revlon Colorstay on this list. You usually only hear good things about those two.

I hate brush concealers, they are always so messy.

by kayla_d_moore Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 05:40AM Report as inappropriate

I found this concealer made the skin look older. It settled into the lines and made the skin under my eyes look very dry. I used as little as possible and used a better brush. I liked the other mineral makeup from L'Oreal, but this one missed the mark.

by beckyg67 Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 06:54AM Report as inappropriate

wow a MAC product made this list!

by kenya Monday, December 27, 2010 at 01:49PM Report as inappropriate

My absolute favorite is Alison Raffaele concealer I would buy at Sephora. But they discontinued it because no one bought it. Everyone wanted the designer brands even though they were all heavy and thick. Alison Raffaele is wonderful and light while covering beautifully,and it lasted a really long time,both on my face and in the container. It would last me for months. Now,I use Origins Quick,Hide! concealer,which is fine,my second favorite.
