GET A CONCEALER THAT REALY WORKS!

My cache' of concealers is considerable. Chanel shares space with. Maybelline, CoverGirl and others. None provide that flawless look I'm seeking. I either appear washed out, have that dreaded raccoon look, or my under eye shadows are still in evidence. My skin is fair and most cosmetic advisers take one quick look and present me with their lightest shade.
Not too long ago I finally hit on the right color. Wandering through Sephora, I found a concealer that had a great consistency and good coverage.(Amazing Concealer) They were out of the light shades so on a whim, because it was one of those things that I just had to have, I tried the medium. Bingo! There was great coverage without the hint of a shadow and there was a slight touch of pink that added instant brightness. I had found that elusive FLAWLESS!

Too many of us pick a shade lighter than our foundation or skin when the answer actually is something just a bit darker that covers what we're looking to cover. I recently read that Bobbie Brown recommends brushing a bit of bronzer over the undereye area to warm it up before applying concealer. I haven't tried it but I've sworn off those the paler shades for good.
Amazing Concealer is hard to find and expensive although it does last for about a year. A less costly alternative is L'Oreal Visable Lift Eye. It's not as thick as Amazing Concealer but I've used the medium( 178 )shade with good results.

A TRULY AMAZING CONCEALER!

The last item on the to do list before my face lift was to purchase a new concealer. I had been using NARS which I liked but thought I should be prepared with something more heavy duty.

I popped in to Sephora and cornered one of their consultants for advice. She mentioned Makeup Forever and Vincent Longo as possible choices. Vincent Longo was new to me and" new," with its unknown possibilities always beckons; so Vinny it was. It comes in a disk container and I liked its combination of opaque coverage and moisturizing qualities. I thanked the consultant, got a sample of Bobbie Brown foundation (how I love those Sephora samples) and got at the end of the long line.
As I inched my way toward the front a display caught my eye: Amazing Concealer put out by I company I had never heard of Amazing Cosmetics. I opened the small black tube and gave it a squeeze. Spackle best describes it. I found a mirror and spread it under one eye. A little goes more than a very long way, so I tried just a bit on the other eye. It was amazing, not only did it cover but it provided a hint of tightening as well. I still wasn't cancelling my surgery but I said a hasty goodby to Vinny for the time being and purchased Amazing Concealer instead.

It was the first product I used after surgery and it hasn't disappointed . If you are just looking to erase routine under eye circles they include an easy diagram to follow that makes them disappear. But as for the black, blue and yellow of post surgery or any other discolorations this stuff is really amazing and certainly does the job!
