Ranking 7 Concealers for Dry or Mature Skin! Incredibly Thorough - Application & Check-ins

[@melindagenitempo2359]

Yay thank God. All the younger gals like things that may not work for our older eyes

[@stellazppearson]

Excellent, incredibly comprehensive. Thank you for the time dedicated to put this together.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you so much for watching - I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@beatdizzy]

Would love to see full swatches of the color on your undertone for all of these (before they go on the face) the tom ford especially. And yes love the details.

[@karennz1099]

Kiki, great video. I appreciate the wear as you apply and comment afterwards. I appreciate that not all new products. It seems to me just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s better. Btw your blouse looks lovely!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you so much! Love that blouse, too!

[@susanodonohue5661]

Blouse is beautiful! I hope you bought two!

[@adellaidemikova]

I have very dark circles under my eyes. Genetic. The Sisley concealer works for me. When I use the Westman Atelier Drops, can use this product as an under eye concealer. A little bit. I am over 40 and I hydrate my skin a lot - inside & outside. I have been curious about the Natasha Demons and Chanel concealers. But I’m scared to try other products and waste my money.

[@elizabethcook6120]

I love the Lancôme concealer because it’s so long lasting on the face and under the eyes. I wear in place of foundation.

[@simokthxbai]

Gracie snoring is so cute! 😄🥰 my struggle with concealers is they either show all my lines or they disappear quickly 🙄 I'm 51 and have the fun combo of dry and dark undereyes. Thank you for yet another great informative video❣

[@TheHoodedLid]

You might want to try the eye stick from Ole Henricksen. It acts both as a base and a color corrector!

[@simokthxbai]

@@TheHoodedLid Thank you for the tip❣

[@TexasLyoness]

Thanks for the detailed video. I know that took a lot of time and effort. I’m not a big concealer person, but the one I use is the Armani one in the shorter tube. I also used the Maybelline Age Rewind for the longest. For many years I’ve used a dot of MAC Prep + Prime in Radiant Rose underneath concealer. That is a cool toned brightener that makes all the difference in the world on my super fair skin to wake it up.

[@sonjaforrester9255]

I will say my last tube of Lancome I used to long and it wasn't working well but I just thought it was my aging eye skin etc. I got a new tube just to see and oh my goodness it was so much better. So I do think it goes off without you really knowing.

[@sanellaaletovic1303]

Next on m list is the Surratt Concealer. Givenchy didn't work under my eyes. I love the Sisley Phytoteint as a base and go with the Koh Gen Do Moisture Fit Concealer. Also love to color correct with Pat McGrath and lighten up things with the Valentino concealer. I'm 48 and have dark circles

[@AliseL22]

This was extremely helpful and it is the details you gave us that made a huge difference. Tom Ford sounds like the right choice for me - fingers crossed I pick the right shade 🦋

[@TheHoodedLid]

Yay! I'm so glad to hear it!

[@dawnbonome9056]

I actually like the rankings of different concealers. I have a very hard time finding the right concealer because I have dark circles. It’s good to mix it up a bit. Have you ranked mascaras? Excellent video.👍🏻

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you! I think mascara is so personal. Some like fluttery natural lashes and some like really big, big lashes. I have done a ranking of tubing mascaras, though!

[@theginger8855]

My all time favorite is the Sisley and I love the surratt too but I haven’t found the exact right shade. The Haus Lab is pretty good but my skin is going through a change and becoming dryer so that requires quick work.

[@adellaidemikova]

I’m team Sisley too!

[@EEE-ds8bb]

Sisley can't be beat. Ir's pricey but a tube lasts me almost 2 years. You get a lot of product. Excellent packaging

[@allisonbb716]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you for all of the detail! As far as interest in new products - just speaking for myself, I am entertained and interested in new products - but really only as compared to your tried and true favorites. I tend not to trust content creators who flit from favorite to favorite as new products come to market. But, I find YOU eminently trustworthy, insightful and helpful.

[@dena1775]

You look great in the sisley, what color did you pick?

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Amazing video! Thank you for all the time you took to share such great detail.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@purebarregirlie]

This is a great idea! I picked up the Natasha Denona concealer this weekend and then put it back because I’m tired of buying concealers and then they look horrible 😵‍💫

[@TheHoodedLid]

I bought this one too and I think I reviewed it. It's one of the concealers I returned. I just could get over how odd the color was - but I don't remember thinking the concealer itself bad, but not good enough for me to buy another color and mix!

[@purebarregirlie]

@@TheHoodedLidThanks for the response, Kiki ❤️

[@margaretflorsheim9247]

Thanks for a great video. I appreciate your application tips as well as the commentary about the products. I’m 67 y/o and deal with blueness as well as troughs. I use the Sisley and struggle some with the color as well. I’ve been adding a bit of Natura Bisse to dampen down the peach tone. It’s not perfect, but a vast improvement from being without. I’m curious to try the Tom Ford.

[@ashlynnkaplan680]

As a younger gal, I watch your videos because I love your technique since you have more character to your skin and things like puffiness and fine lines. I have very similar troughs under my eyes even at 30 years old, so this is super helpful information! I don’t deal with darkness as much as fine lines and troughing. I greatly appreciate how much you share in detail here about the product, texture and application! I feel that I could reasonably purchase a concealer based on your descriptions, without driving a considerable distance across my state to a store with testers! The Lancome concealer I had a very similar experience with. I loved it when I first got it and used a whole tube! But then overtime I tried other things and it just wasn’t the best anymore. It also now looks rather dry under my eyes and cakes. I do enjoy the Kosas concealer quite a bit though! But unfortunately, I do need to toss my current tube due to age. I’m not sure yet if I want to re-purchase it, as I am working through some other concealers, but I would definitely pick up the smaller size. I understand production costs, and labor when it comes to manufacturing cosmetics, but I do think that smaller sizes would be so much more beneficial to actually get through a product!

[@TheHoodedLid]

I especially like the smaller ideas with "clean" products - no one wants to toss out product before they've had the chance to use it!

[@LisaTaddeo-cg2sw]

I’m not that impressed with Lancôme concealer myself. I’m thinking of the Tom Ford for next purchase. Btw, Mr Right would be thrilled to have a classy beauty like you KiKi.

[@TheHoodedLid]

awww...thank you Lisa!!

[@lesliespencer7942]

Thank you! Concealer is so tricky. I also have the dreaded trough. Ugh. Will have to investigate Tom Ford and Sisely (but it is so-o expensive - even compared to the Tom Ford).

[@TheHoodedLid]

I know, it's crazy. Watch my community page - Space NK often has sales and they carry this! Next time I see a sale pop up, I'll post on on my community page

[@debgilbert3206]

I have the Sisely concealer, but as much as I wanted to love it, I find it a bit dry. I do use it in the inner corners of my eyes as a color corrector, but now I am looking for a concealer for the rest of my under eye. Your video was very helpful. I will take some of your recommendations to Sephora and ask for a small sample of a few to try at home. I feel like finding the right one is trickier than finding a foundation. Thanks again!

[@k49588]

You look very pretty, and those eyeshadow and lip colour look very soft and beautiful on you, very youthful, fresh and soft look:)

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@jubblypat]

I’m loving the Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint. I can take it right under my eyes. No creasing at all under my eyes. Absolutely fabulous.❤

[@wwfarmhouse9055]

Great video! So well done - I can’t even articulate how helpful this video is!!! Thankyou 😊

[@TheHoodedLid]

Yay! So glad it was helpful to you!

[@elsagilbert5309]

The Sisley is my holy grail I only discovered it because my gran bought herself the wrong colour, the tube lasts me such a long time and ive refought it twice now, I find the peach tone is perfect under my eyes at correcting my blue/purple discolouration - my skin is very fair and thin around the eyes - almost translucent! its really hard for me to find a concealer that actually covers and sits nicely as my skin can be pretty dry :) ! love the video

[@EEE-ds8bb]

The Sisley Phyto Cernes Eclat is holy grail for mature dry undereyes. It's pricey but you get tons of product. A tube lasts me close to two years

[@halinayen9744]

Such a great video👍🏻 I always learn something new from you. Thank you 🎉 Mr. RIGHT 😮 that would be so fun to entertain😂 YOU are absolutely gorgeous and look beautiful always, with or without makeup😊

[@TheHoodedLid]

awww...thank you so much!

[@debcampbell734]

Thanks! I was thinking about picking up the givenchy and I think I will now! I need an easy concealer. I also like the Dior but want to try something new!!

[@scentedknits6447]

My 1 and 2 match yours, and really, once you get the hang of applying just a wee bit of the Sisley, it isn't too fussy for me. I sometimes apply with an angled eyeliner brush. I do want to try the Surratt, but I have to work through a couple first.

[@TheHoodedLid]

It's true - I've only used it a few times, I'm sure I can get the hang of it and get the time down to nothing flat!

[@litterallylibra]

31:47 this resonated with me in a way that was quite painful…i’m in my twenties and feel this way often

[@ML-kr4ms]

I love the makeup forever for the ease that you explained. I use one shade under the eye and another shade on the face some loose powder and I’m out the door. Great video!

[@AromaticSunday24]

Lovely video, Kiki, as always. You are authentic and I enjoy your fun personality! The chickens clucking at the end always makes me chuckle :). Like so many people, at 63 I've tried SO many concealers. I always used Becca color corrector under all of them but lately I found the concealer of my dreams... Fitglow concealer! It's absolutely beautiful and I don't need corrector under it!

[@ShakeMyWay]

What color did you use in the Sisley?

[@jennybrandt5188]

You have beautiful skin. I'm guessing that you've stayed out of the sun. I've used a lot of the products that you've mentioned but my favorite is Lancome Teint Idôle Ultra Wear All Over Concealer.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you Jenny! Actually, I've spent far too much time in the sun. Beach, pool, sunning, dog park, gardening. I only started wearing sunscreen religiously around 49 or 50!

[@SandraSallin]

How did you know I need a new concealer? Thank you for this excellent analysis. Of course now I figure I need a few.

[@LavenderJergens]

This was so interesting and such a deep dive. You have gifted me with two solid sounding leads. I too have used the Lancome concealer for a while now and feel it isn’t working like it used to, not sure if it is me or it.

[@debrabarycki8819]

Lancôme concealer is Hands down the best! So is the Nars concealer in a pot covers everything and I’m 64

[@sonjaforrester9255]

I'm currently using Lancome. And I love products that work regardless if it's new or not so thank you. I think I may try the Tom Ford because I don't have much time for fussing with it.

[@rhonda6791]

Your blouse is so pretty and happy, I love it. ☺️

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you! 😊

[@taniaelgaard]

Lovely and helpful video Kiki. I am 50 with very dark undereyes. My favorites are the the Sisley and Tom Ford concealers. Natasha Denona looks dry and unflattering on me. The Dior fades in me and unfortunately does not have enough coverage to cover my darkness 🎨

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

B-roll is very helpful to convey details. I have tried Dior and couldn’t find a shade. I have bought Kosas twice because of a good shade. I like it and I don’t. It is too radiant. I really don’t have darkness, just shadows. I used to use a lighter concealer and have adjusted to wearing foundation only so it is cohesive and draws less attention to the puffy areas. Sometimes I blend a tiny bit of concealer at the inner corner of my eyes. Right now I have a head cold and my eyes are a real mess and I have a Zoom call later today. 🙄. Eye patches, here I come!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Eye patches are a God-send!

[@kris_boyle]

Very helpful review! What shade did you get in the Sisley?

[@unwindknitting]

I struggle with the color of the Sisley. Even the 1 is too dark for my super fair skin. I need to try my Tom Ford again because I didn’t like it initially.

[@carefulshopper4239]

Terrific review! Have you tried the Valentino or Natasha Denona ones? Expensive as can be, but I rationalize that if I don’t have to keep trying others to find anything I’ll save money in the long run.

[@TheHoodedLid]

I did try the Denona. It was okay - but the shades were a little off. The effect reminds me of the Kosas.

[@andreasakara6032]

I completely agree about the Lancome concealer. I hate it. It goes into my crows feet. After watching this video I will try using the tip of the Angie brush and see if I can blend it out. My problem is the dark groove on the outer corner of my eye which is also where the crows feet are so I need a medium coverage concealer. I LOVE your blouse, is it still available? Love your videos.

[@melindagenitempo2359]

Kiki Have you seen Wayne Goss's trick for those bags we get? Use a tad darker concealer so the trough and bag are shadowed from the rest of the regular under eye concealer. Works like a charm. For me at least. Charlotte Holdcroft ,who is a blast, doesn't set her Tom Ford concealer, I was hating mine . So I wear it to the doctors lol

[@TheHoodedLid]

No, I haven't seen it. The thing that bothers me the most is when concealer gathers in the trough.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I think youre right about concealers and such as being our 'underwear' you know if you get good fitting bra and panties, your dress or whatever, will sit smoother and nicer over the top...same with make-up, get good products that go well together, dont react badly to the formula of other products and suits your particular skin type, then the foundation and powders you put over the top will set down nice, reduce wrinkles and such 👍👍🇦🇺

[@olgaefros4990]

Sisley is my favorite, they have new shade 1.5 😇

[@beeshopspink]

I have a similar issue and am considering trough filler to smooth out the area and not have this battle on the daily

[@liat256]

I love the sisley conciler. I use it a few years and itd great!

[@zozel77]

I’m 60 and the Lancôme, although it’s the best color match for me out of all the concealers I own, just sits on the skin! It’s so weird, I never had this problem with any other concealer. I love the Dior one and also the classic Estée Lauder Double Wear if I want more coverage. Thank you for this video, it was very informative 👍❤️

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thanks for watching!

[@illiona3289]

Sisley concealer has been my daily goto for 3 years now, try applying it with a real techniques concealer brush, mine is a limited edition one called instapop shade brush from the same brand.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Yes! That's the name of the brush with the purple handle that I used! It's actually for eyeshadow - but works wonderfully with concealers

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the best concealers for us mature ladies ❤

[@TheHoodedLid]

You are so welcome!

[@janeburke147]

Such a great comparison 👍🏻🙂

[@jenlikesdogsandperfume]

I have the Sisley, Lancome and Dior (although I think it has been reformulated). I also have about 20 other concealers. Hands down if I could only keep one, it would be the Sisley. In the winter, our skin tones are very close. Not sure what color you have in the Sisley but I have no.1. Yes, it is peachy but for some reason it works year round. I also don't find it fussy but I always apply it with a damp sponge. I really thought I was going to pick up the Givenchy or Tom Ford during the Sephora sale but you may have saved me money because now I don't think I need them since I have the Sisley. 😃 The Dior and Lancome I mostly use for spot concealing as they tend to be too dry under my eyes

[@hubertinasimon7098]

I love your eye look! What eyeshadow did you use?

[@mN-os6tj]

also, no color for the TF either.. online is so hard! thx

[@teresaosborne8483]

Try the Sisley in your trough/corner(tiny amt!) like a corrector and the Tom Ford under the eye for discoloration- a perfect combo in my opinion. Did just order the one from ND as everyone raves to give it a try🤣 always searching for perfection I suppose.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Perfection would be lovely! I just don't want to look tragic - lol

[@yoylos3p]

I probably have different preferences than the regular viewer. I don’t care to see reviews or recommendations of only new products. But I understand makeup channels are about new products, so you need to tend to those preferences so your links get used. I personally also stay away from new brands, I don’t care for them, and that’s something that you need to review to sell. For example, I don’t care about new makeup brands like Kosas, caliray, rms, makeup by mario, bare beauty, etc. there’s so many, and they are probably so good too. I don’t know what it is. I don’t even click on those videos, unless I really need some makeup video distraction and I don’t have anything else to watch. I know I’m probably the only one to think this way. Maybe in the back of my mind I think those are brands for younger skin. I was glad to hear your thoughts on the Sisley concealer. I’ve used it for years and I feel like it does not work for me anymore, I don’t think mine is old, but it looks dry on me. I’m tempted to try the Chanel one in a jar that’s supposed to be very hydrating, but apparently it does not have as much coverage. The Surratt sounds amazing, but it’s hard to chose one online. Thank you for this amazing detailed video.

[@blackdiamond7708]

Kiki, did you ever try Estée Lauder Double Wear Radiant? What are your thoughts? I picked it up in a whim and I’ve been happy. My under eyes are problematic at best :/ I’m very interested in the Chanel sublimage concealer. The Sisley looks nice once it’s on.

[@TheHoodedLid]

No I haven't tried foundations or concealers from EL - a few times over the last few years I tried to get matched, and they just don't do a shade for me.

[@marimarimariya4901]

I haven't tried the Chanel - I think I missed the boat, and I don't tend to get views if I'm a week late for a release - lol

[@LondonSunflower]

Do you use any cream for puffiness under concealers?

[@marshawilliamson8602]

Cle de Peau is my #1. It, too, requires some work and it’s expensive, but it’s a great color match. When I’m in a hurry or just taking out the trash, I can quickly conceal redness and sun damage. It has been difficult to resist some of the newer releases or ANYTHING Lisa Eldridge recommends, but, I’m no longer dumping $30 to $40-range concealers in multiple colors in the trash.
