laura mercier concealer

I'm going to the LM counter tomorrow. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about it.

If you can find it, Kanebo's concealer is wonderful though I think it will be better if you have more yellow/golden tones in your skin. You also have to be pretty pale, because it comes in only three colors and I am color #3? I actually asked the lady at Barneys what a girl who's more tan than would have to do to wear this stuff and all I got was this look. YSL Touche Eclat is also good (and comes in more colors). Both items last a long time since you only need to use them sparingly. I particularly like that they come packaged as pens. I can use them for 6 months at a time and I'm a chronic product spiller.

I also liked Becca's concealer because it's a great color match (there must be at least 36 shades!). The consistency was good but a little thick for me. It does a great job covering dark circles though.

i am very pale, and even at my most tan, i have to use the lightest color of any foundation or concealer. but, i am not yellow or pink. my skin color is very neutral. yellow based and pink based skin products look really funny on me. i will have to look into the kanebo concealer you mentioned.

I use LM concealer and I really like it. The one I have has pink undertones, but I'm not sure what the other colors look like.

I use it and like it a lot. The only thing I notice is that if I put too much, it makes under my eyes have more lines than if I weren't wearing it. But it really helps brighten my undereye area and I make sure just to use a small amount. You could always go to the counter, have the girl try it on you, then wear it around shopping for the day and see how it wears.
