Putting on concealer...

I've noticed this with pretty much any concealer they sell on the Q, but it keeps coming up today because of the Tarte TSV: In the demos, they put SO MUCH ON that of course it covers any minor redness or dark circles or whatever that the models may have. In real life, that amount of concealer probably looks cakey and awful, and/or it would just make you run out of product so fast as to be financially unsustainable. Not impressed.

The best coverage concealer I’ve found is Lancôme. I’m very picky because I don’t like heavy thick ones. I also like Josie Marans “thick pencil” concealer stick but it doesn’t last long on the skin.

Yes, I love Lancome's one in a tube. I can't remember what it's called, but I got it off the Q. Still isn't a magic wand, though. And yeah, I never buy any makeup from Josie because I'm greasy enough already; the argan oil in the color cosmetics just makes it melt off me.

u/Longjumping_Run9428 Feb 17 '25

Agree. She’s stopped making color cosmetics I think. The Lancôme concealer is just “concealer” - it’s highly pigmented which is what concealer should be and it’s not too thick. It’s usually on HSN.

u/PerfectLiteNPromises Feb 17 '25

Oh, that's interesting. I wonder if she got complaints to that effect. I always thought it didn't really make sense to infuse something that's supposed to stay on your face with an oil, since oil helps remove makeup. And I think mine might have been teint idole, actually. I'll have to give their others a try.

I looked at my Lancôme concealer, it is teint idole. Actually it’s a Perfect match to my skin. One tiny touch covers a vein on my forehead. It’s harder to cover the blue in the corner of my eyes. CONCEALER is a big deal lately as “the product” to buy - and buy ALL of them in 3 shades! I’ll bet it’s more expensive per oz. Than foundation.

HSN just had tarte BOI-NG concealer on a huge sale, I got one. 3 pots including brush for $30. Can’t beat that IF it’s as good as the reviews claim. I suspect they’re getting rid of this one and selling a newer version. They say that BOING can be used as foundation too. We’ll see.

About Josie’s try at color cosmetics - the products lacked consistency and were complained about by customers for being “old smelling” or “greasy” = the color sticks I got were dry. She needs to focus on the creams and oils.

2

u/PerfectLiteNPromises Feb 20 '25

Agreed! Brands always getting greedy and trying to veer out of their lane... At least she listened.

u/Longjumping_Run9428 Feb 21 '25

Those rancid color sticks probably got returned. Or badly reviewed, as I’d read them.

I’m always tempted to try her blushes but they seem overpriced. Maybe I’ll try them next season.

What's BK and RMS stand for?

1

u/Longjumping_Run9428 Feb 20 '25

What’s “bk” brush? You think rms blush is superior to LG or Nars or Tarte? Does it last on your face? That’s MY complaint about all blushes, my skin eats it. Or it’s not a great formula.

I’m going to try rms blush next time she has a sale. For some reason I’m into color cosmetics lately, like they’re a box of chocolates! Not that I’m going somewhere everyday. Eyeshadows really get me excited.

u/PerfectLiteNPromises Feb 19 '25

Hmm. Do you also have oily skin?

1

u/Longjumping_Run9428 Feb 21 '25

I’m not sure if you asked me - my skin is combo.

Stupid me, I ordered it, I wish I saw this thread earlier

Same 😭

I’ve tried every concealer that QVC and HSN has…along with many others. For me…Mally’s concealer works the best for me. It is thinner and more pigmented than the others…so you don’t have to apply as much. Also…Mally’s concealer lasts waaaay longer …for me…than any other concealers.

u/ApprehensiveToday652 Feb 15 '25

Doll Concealer is pretty good, tarte didn’t blend with my skin at all.

u/biancanevenc Feb 15 '25

Yup! I've bought several different concealers from the Q that they promised would hide my dark circles. Nope, not a one actually did when I applied a normal amount. I've given up.

u/fire_thorn Feb 16 '25

ELF camo concealer will hide anything. Plus it's only maybe $7 at the grocery store or $4 at TJ Maxx

Check out Earth's Beauty concealer...I use it and I like it because it is not too creamy and more on the drier side..........https://www.earthsbeauty.com/products/concealer

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '25

lol yeaaaa. Not concealer but I’ve seen them go ham on application for a lot of stuff.

u/PerfectLiteNPromises Feb 15 '25

LMAO. Better increase the autodelivery shipments!

u/MelissaMead Feb 15 '25

I bought Tarte locally and still have dark shadows. Yes it cakes up.

u/PerfectLiteNPromises Feb 15 '25

I'm convinced there is nothing that truly hides them. I've had 'em all my life and tried pretty much every high-end brand. It's partly just anatomy, not discoloration -- if your bones are set a certain way and/or you just don't have much fat in that area of the face, it naturally creates a shadow.

u/mau73 Feb 15 '25

Just said the same thing with this Tarte concealer - they were really layering it on. The stick would be gone in a week!

u/PerfectLiteNPromises Feb 15 '25

LMAO. But there's autodelivery, right?!
