Concealer is a long time love of something that I have found I must have. As an avid dark circle owner I have always seemed to have dark circles. No matter how I change my diet, drink endless amounts of water, or the newest skin care that promises to make them lighten and disappear to no avail- concealer has been the only thing that seems to work. After a while of trying a testing, I found a solid full coverage concealer that recently may be giving a long time love a run for its money. Dark circles beware, I bring you this week’s High vs. Low Beauty: A Make Up For Ever Full Coverage Dupe…
First things first, lets talk about dark circles… after loads of trying the biggest key to dark circles is to use color theory. Most dark circles are a bit of a dark blue and purple shade, so in order to cancel out color you turn to color theory and use a bit of an orange/salmon shade as a corrector. Let me tell you it will change your life- when dark circles are literally cancelled out. Amazingness!
Now on to the good stuff. Make Up For Ever Full Coverage Concealer– $21 USD, is quite dreamy. Formulated to help hide pigmentation problems, burns and tattoos this super pigmented concealer is fantastic. A let me tell you a little goes a looooong way. Fully build-able for full coverage to crazy maximum coverage without ever feeling like a mask. It is ooooh so great stuff. So on a recent shopping trip out, I grabbed a bit of Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer- $6 USD. This stuff is OMG phenomenal. This heavy-duty, pigmented concealer literally provides ultimate coverage. Formulate much like the Make Up For Ever Full Coverage and the ability to conceal tattoos and skin’s imperfections; this concealer oozes maximum coverage. WOW! I might even have to say it might have just a bit more oomph than the Make Up For Ever Full Coverage. dare I say it!
Although this concealer is exactly like the Make Up For Ever coverage wise, it is a bit lacking in the shade selection with only four shades available. bummer. Price wise it is a steal, and seriously this tube will last for quite some time, as a little drop goes miles. Time to kick dark circles to the curb and say hello to maximum coverage….
What do you use to cover your dark circles?

Kim Porter says
I have to try the hard candy concealer. I had the MUFE one, too. I think the LA Girl Pro one is similar.
Anastasia says
Glamoflauge is FANTASTIC, it’s one of the best drugstore concealers.

Must try Glamoflauge. Anything. I am ready to try anything.
Phyrra says
I need to try that Hard Candy! I use the Silk Naturals Peach HD Cream concealer, which comes in 6 shades, to cover dark circles
Amber says
I love both of these concealers. I can’t use them under my eyes, as they seem to settle. My magic combo is the IT Cosmetics bye bye undereye/brightener wand.
Aleya Bamdad says
What a great price! I love inexpensive products that deliver.
Nidia Doherty says
I love collecting concealers. Right now I’m actually having some luck with Reviva Vitamin K cream – it’s lightening my dark circles! I also like Nyx concealer in lavender.
Kelly R says
This looks great. And affordable!
Miranda Mendoza says
I really want to try glamoflauge but my walmart doesn’t carry Hard Candy (go figure). I’ve tried the Hardcandy Undercover concealer for under eye and I like it!
Laura says
I have been wanting to try both of those for so long. Looks like I will go with the HC now!
Sheila Arkee says
Ooh! Great tip – bummer on the limited shade selection, but this sounds like a winner.
Betzy Carmona says
I love it ! I have the hard candy and love it
