TOP FIVE BRIGHTENING CONCEALERS: ONE YEAR ON

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday! I was browsing through my blog archive, looking at what i was rambling on about around a year ago and i came across a "top five favourite brightening concealers" post. I thought why not do an updated version of that post, as it is literally one year one and a handful of days. It is so cool to look back and see that some favourites have changed, yet some have still stayed firm favourites...


Estée Lauder Double Wear Brush-On Glow BB Highlighter in the shade 1N -
This product is one of those click pen highlighters just like the ever so famous YSL Touche Eclat and the MAC Prep+Prime ones, which has also been a favourite of mine but this one by Estée Lauder does it for me every single time. This is such a super brightening product for the under-eye area, i either wear it by itself or mixed with another concealer all depending on the type of coverage i need that particular day (or should i say all depending on how many hours sleep i have had ha ha).

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage in the shade Light/Neutral -
This is another concealer that i have loved for well over a year/well since i first tried it out and i have in fact never heard/seen anyone say a bad word about this concealer. It's such a creamy lightweight product that blends out so effortlessly, with a super brightening effect and flawless coverage. I am also a huge fan of the matching foundation, which i need to repurchase again soon!

Revlon ColorStay Concealer in the shade Light -
This is a concealer that i had never tried out until just recently and now i am left wondering why i was so late giving it a go. This is a great affordable concealer if you want a light to medium coverage aka you've had a good nights sleep. Saying that it is easy to build up without it going cakey or anything, i also had the shade light rather than a normal skin tone one for that reason of using it under my eyes rather than on any blemishes etc.

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer in the shade Light -
I have already spoken so much about this concealer in the past couple of months, as since the moment i tried it i was in love. As the title of the product suggests it is a radiant product and that is exactly what it does, so that makes it perfect for brightening under those eyes. It is probably the most hydrating product of the bunch and never looks cakey or creases in the slightest. 

Barry M Flawless Light Reflecting Concealer in the shade Ivory -
I had mentioned this concealer in a recent makeup haul "tried and tested" and how it was the first makeup item i had tried from BarryM, as i have only ever tried virtually all of the nail polishes. I was surprised at how amazing this concealer is and it is under £5, which is great seeing as there is probably only the Collection lasting perfection concealer that is good under that price. Like the title of the product suggests it is light reflection (brightening) and it also doesn't crease. The only thing that i find strange is that the applicator is like one you would get on a nail polish, is that normal? or is it just me who finds that weird?
