So, I couldn't get to the tip without signing in. Now that I am in I can't find the tip!
I think all their "tips" are like this. It doesn't really say very much.
I've always had generally ok skin, recently however i've been suffering from constant breakout (doctor believes to b hormonal). I've been using dermalogica skincare products for a month but only seen a slight improvement. Never worn concealer cause feel it makes spots look worse by drying them out-are they all like this?
Also looking for a good foundation to cover breakouts-clarins has been suggested by a friend. Good choice or not? thanks
I had the same problem until I found Almay Clear Complexion concealer. I make sure that spot is moisturized and then a little dab will do. It clears up the pimple while concealing. I love it. It doesn't dry out but any type of maleup will dry your skin if you don't put on a moistuizer. I use Bare Minerals Makeup which helps to clear acne which I USE to have and mine was caused hormonaly by birth control. I use Clearsil Deep Cleaning Face Wash and it worls for me. I hope this kinda helped.
i use revlon colourstay on mine
I use to use the colorstay makeup but wanted to use something lighter but it did stay on all day is that a good concealer?
What the tip said is as follows....thinner concealor cover the dark patches under our eyes better and the thick paste concealor covers blemishes better.
??? I'm so confused! LOL Wheres the tip? and what exactly did I have to log in for??
Unfortunatley that is the tip. There was a whole lot of thought put into it huh?
This is the tip.

I got something from the eye-lash curler tip (however other websites said wet the curler w/warm water prior) I expect to keep from yanking out eyelashes. I knew the blush on "apples" from years ago, tried it at age 46, and believe it or not, I DO look better. Thank you. BUT...Concealer, it makes my dry under-eye look even drier and sagging down. Did you leave a tip out that reflects other than 17 yr. old skin?
I suppose you could use a little extra moisturizer under your eyes before applying concealer I have to at least and I'm 22. My mother uses Oil of Olay Regenerist and she loves it as well.
Re: the eyelash curler tip... If you hold it under the hair dryer for a second it will do the same trick without affecting your moisturizer or make-up!! Just be sure not to get it too hot!!! OUCH!!!
Chanel liquid concealer is great for under eyes for the "mature" eye. While Lancome corrector (thicker base) works great for blemishes!
What does everyone think of this mineral make-up?
love it!
I already know all the tips from past experiments.

I agree
There are some bronzers that change temporarily the color of the skin. May be it can help you!
Concealers? I have a white scar from middle chest area straight down to bottom of rib cage. (If I had a cleavage it wouldn't look so obvious) Summer is coming and so are the low cut necklines. Has anyone got some helpful suggestions
What is the best brand of makeup to use to cover up acne? I've tried so many different types, but each one looks like I have a mask on my face!
I use Yardley oatmeal active 2 in 1 blemish stick for here and there spots. You get different colours. Choose the right colour for your skin colour. You will find it with the Yardley oatmeal products. I'm not a make-up fan but you can use it before your foundation or without the foundation like me. Just make sure you blend it in. If you have too much acne I don't think it will help. It don't only covers the spots, it also dries it out. Hope this helps.
It depends on how bad it is. I use to have really bad breakouts and I used Clearasil Daily Deep Cleaning Face wash and it cleared it up good. For my occassional pimple i use this concealer by Almay Clear complexion concealer and it fights the pimple while its on. I also use Bare Minerals makeup because it is pure and won't clog your pores and it won't give you a mask.
Reply for Ifillis:
Most chemist sell a special makeup which is designed especially to cover scars and severe birthmarks so that they are virtually invisible. Its also waterproof!
Go into your local chemist and ask they wlll know what you are looking for and be able to help/recommend what is the best product for you to use.
Hope this helps...
yeah where is the tip it is so limited. What kind od concealer? Im lost.
I'm really pale! Each time that I put concealer in my eyes . . they look tired and dry!!!! Also the concealer smudge into the eye area.
I am pale with dry skin as well. This is what helps me. I apply a moisturizer before I apply concealer. Then a put a dot on the inside of my eye below my eye where I need to conceal. (I use Almay Clear Complexion, helps heal blemishes as well.) Then I dab and smooth it on until it blends. I don't put it too close to my eye simply because it will get into my eyes and I wear contacts and it tends to look fake. Make sure it is all the way blended I think that it why yours runs. Don't use too much also!
ive heard of this cool mineral foundation/concealer for acne, discoloration, and blemishes. its like putting on lotion. it automatically blends into ur skin color by sensing facial heat temperature. its called BB cream. altho, u can only get it on the net or in korea.
