Favorite Concealer : Undereye

I'm not much of a foundation person, and if I do whip it out every now and then, it is a low-coverage, thin foundation that is simply there to even out the skin tone and not much else. However, I do adore concealers, and one of my favorites has been the Clinique's All About Eyes for years and years due to the following reasons:

- Has a light texture if you use the right amount
- Easily blendable using fingers
- Liquid (and thus, dewy, not cakey)- Lasts a very long time (on skin and the tube itself is fairly large for the amount used)- Cheap (compared to higher end cosmetics), 17$ for a large tube

Now I've tried other ones such as the infamous Bobbi Brown Corrector, MUFE Full Cover, Origins Plantscription, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind, and the new Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream Eyes, and I just haven't been able fall in love with any of them for undereyes, specifically, and end up going back to this one over and over. I believe it's due to my hatred towards cakey-ness (which at times coincides with thickness) and the fact that I'm satisfied with the medium coverage concealer for my eyes (which doesn't cover all the horrid darkness, but good enough to make my overall skin even and polished). It looks natural and lasts a long time which is what I try to aim for in every makeup. And if I want the full coverage, I add the Benefit Bo-ing 02 on top of it to brighten and add extra coverage. Some cosmetics don't go well together, but these two pair blend well and doesn't make it look too 'heavy'. You could even use it for blemishes which works just as well. Hope this one never gets discontinued!

For highlighting effect, I add a very small dot of Becca Shimmering Perfector in Moonstone with the concealer, which creates a light-reflective quality undereyes.
