And the co...Wow, concealer...let me count the ways. And the concealers I have tried in 42 years since I started buying my own makeup at age 13! <br />I have epic dark circles and very fair skin with a slight yellowish under tone. When makeup clerks take off my makeup when I am getting one of those makeovers at a department stores I recognize their universal looks of horror when they remove the careful camouflage I have speckled over the alligator handbags I carry under my eyes.<br />LOL, yes welcome to my morning ritual.<br />The good news is that my skin in in very good shape so my major issue is getting the under eye to match the rest of my face. I have found most foundations just are too heavy in the eye area so I stick with tinted moisturizer or light powder on my face and the concealer combination on the dark circles.<br />Anyway, I am currently in a courtship with Bobbi Brown Intensive Serum Concealer and the same corrector. The jury's still out. My go-to for years has been the L'Oreal Color Match. Good value, good color range and decent coverage and texture. What I am running into as I age is that anything that dries too matte looks crepey and anything too oily is shiny and creases and draws attention. <br />A good primer goes a long way. Dermalogica makes an under eye product called Multivitamin Power Firm that is an excellent treatment and primer in one. Really makes a difference in how a concealer goes on and wears. I am so happy to have stumbled on to it. See if you can get a sample somewhere.<br />I am so interested in this subject because, lord knows, I have invested a lot of time and money and I don't think I have ever had a truly satisfactory result from any product.<br />I also hated the Nars concealer by the way, and Stila, and Tarte.

The consistency is incredibly thick. It's not for a woman with dark circles, it's for a hot summer day when the Phantom of the Opera feels like leaving his mask off.

Unfortunately, even though Nordstrom sells Cargo (who knew?) the closest Nordstrom that has it is 45 minutes away, not counting traffic, and there's always traffic. So basically, I have to buy it online, which is why I'm making you guys remember my shade for me.<br /><br />I don't mean to go all Mephistopheles on you, but Nordstrom has that amazing return policy ...Poppy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01532483657395207695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-69696514117216328582016-03-23T08:49:32.194-05:002016-03-23T08:49:32.194-05:00I'm sorry, a concealer I've never tried?

And now I am intrigued by this product, especially since I like that Maybelline concealer too, but the colors are wrong for me.
