Best Concealers From 2016

best-concealers-2016

I don’t know if I’d call 2016 the Year of the Concealer but there are some excellent concealer formulas (and some duds) that released this year so, I thought I’d do a best concealers from 2016. I thought I’d round up some of my favorite formulas from this year and briefly discussed why I liked them.

Because, if nothing else at all, I’m a complete concealer junkie. I think a lot of people rely on concealer for both facial imperfections as well as under eye ones. Thankfully, my complexion is blemish-free and fairly resilient which means I don’t really use concealer for areas around my face. I actually exclusively use it under my eyes. Why? Because I’m prone to puffiness and also finer lines. My eyes look generally tired if I don’t slather on concealer. It’s a product that I rely to give me a perky appearance.

So, here’s 5 of the Best Concealers from 2016 that made tired eyes look bright, perky, and puff and fine line-free!

Some you may have tried, others, I hope, are brand new to you and might excite you enough to indulge in them.

Colourpop Brady Supersock Shadow Review & Swatches

colourpop-brady-supersock-shadow-1

Colourpop Brady Supersock Shadow ($5) is dusky matte rose eyeshadow that launched with the Colorpop Fall 2016 Collection a few months ago. At the time, I wasn’t paying too much attention to Colourpop. Why? Because I’m a little over their shadow formula.

WHAT!???!

I know, I know…give me a second to explain.

I’m getting older contrary to what the inner teenage boy that lives inside my subconscious says (it’s like a Danny moment from the Shining around here, no, not really. Well, maybe!) No, but seriously, as I get older my drier, finely lined eyes are starting to understand all the raving about matte eyeshadow. I get it now, truly I do. Don’t get me wrong I love me some shimmer and when I’m 90 I’ll still love it and wear it. But sometimes, matte eyeshadow is a lot nicer. Colourpop has a damn fine formula but there eyeshadows are laced with so much sparkle things begin to look cakey, frosty, and just too much. It’s a lot of everything going on with some of their shades. This along with drier, finely lined eyes has made me skip out on a couple of collections.
