[@candacemansfield3468]

I love your videos.. thanks Shelly for taking the time out of your busy day to test all of these products out for everyone!! You look beautiful as always!!

[@rebeccac.1758]

I like it, but I have to let it sit on my under eyes for at least a minute, before blending out. I need it to dry down, and then it looks great on me.

[@neneg.4264]

I got this concealer just a few days ago, so far I like it, it doesn't settle into my fine lines as bad as others and it keeps my undereye area hydrated, I wish it had a bit more coverage cuz my dark circles are terrible, but it's a good product 👍

[@starly9521]

Great review! I have this too and have been enjoying it. It is also nice on the face like if I need to bump up coverage in areas with a light coverage product. I was looking back at your website for smoothing concealers and noticed the fiera is on big sale. idk how long maybe just tonight but I got the concealer and a brush for 24.99 and then added on their eye cream for 15, all with free shipping. They have some multi concealer deals too.

[@starly9521]

The eye cream add on was an offer at checkout.

Hi Shelly, I would love a review of the new REM beauty foundation. Thanks. ❤❤

[@goow]

I just put it to the top of my buy list because 60 shades, holy cow!!

[@SusieQ1971]

If there was such a concealer that fully camouflaged dark circles while smoothing out wrinkles and not drying the undereye out while lasting all day, if something had all those properties it would be the Holy Grail, nobody would ever need another concealer, my search would be over, and I would throw everything else out. What concealer on the planet smooths out lines or reduces their appearance? All I've found are temporary wrinkle tighteners that leave a film or white substance and stop working once makeup is applied over it.

[@ambergerhelper7852]

They discontinued it! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@SusieQ1971]

@@ambergerhelper7852 Anything that's been discontinued I will find on eBay or Poshmark what is it? The thing about CT Magic concealer is it dries out and gets cakey but if you're talking about something else let me know.

[@allisonbb716]

This was great and no apologies necessary! Rest up!

[@oceanbird.]

I think makeup by Mario and haus labs and Gucci all just released concealers if you want more new concealers! And there were the hourglass veil tint and Bobbi Brown tint that came out recently too. Out of those I got the hourglass tint and t28 concealer and my dry skin looooves them!

[@raafiaahmad4454]

Take care Shelly, have a good sleep and don’t worry about forgetting to film the ending part of videos. We all have our days. You are my inspiration because apart from being a full time lecturer you carry on a KZbin Chanel keeping up with new trends and releases. Hats off to you.❤❤❤❤ P.S : would love to see review of the new Mario concealer and the Makeup Forever concealer.

[@goow]

Thanks, Raafia! I've added both to my to-buy list!

[@MsAmelia65]

I am in love with your eyes and that palette! You are so funny when you are punchy! Hope you got some good sleep! 🤣

[@janesmitson7404]

I've got THE SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer. I read it was very good and I got it on Stylevana for around $6. It's good, but then I'm no expert. I love my YSL Touche Eclat. I love applying it with the brush it comes with, I read it's more of a brightening product, but I likey.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away is the most smoothing concealer I've ever had. I thought I was nuts thinking it was like spandex for my undereyes but then Wayne Goss used that same phrase and I felt totally validated lol =D

[@elizabethbarrow3801]

I remember you did a favorable review of the Fiera concealer. How does it compare with the Tower 28? Fiera has a pitiful shade range. Even the lightest looks too dark for me. Concealers are a royal pain. They either disappear or they emphasize lines. So many have come out lately. I'm completely confused as to which one to buy. Love to kitties and Sherlock. I missed him when you were in Ireland.

[@goow]

I missed Sherlock too! LOL came home and ordered progressive glasses UGH but I just got them and it's amazing to be able to read! lol.... The Fiera formula is a little thicker and more emollient I'd say - and I wouldn't say it's different enough to make it a must-have if you have a better shade match in this one. I'd go Tower28 in that case.

[@elizabethbarrow3801]

​@@goowI'm leaning towards Tower28. Now Gucci has a new concealer! It costs twice as much as Tower 28; however, it's supposedly full coverage. I dunno, I think it'll be Tower28.

[@Strawbettys]

This concealer makes my undereyes look saggy and wrinkly but in a natural I have wrinkles way. Its hydrating but it ages me so much

[@brennawells7326]

What are your favorite concealers?

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Go check out her concealer master list. It’s in the description box! 👍🏻

[@goow]

At the moment the Fiera concealer, ND HyGlam, and CT Magic Away!

[@makenzieemerson2475]

I saw you tried haus labs foundation but did you try the haus labs concealer ? If so. Which is better haus labs concealer or tower 28!?

[@goow]

I love the Haus Labs concealer! Ooooh that's a tough choice. I think you can't go wrong either way. I'd probably lean Haus labs IF you want slightly more coverage, but if the Tower 28 is enough coverage for you, or you want just a smidge more hydration, I'd go Tower 28. They're both great. I do reach for Haus Labs more often for the coverage.

[@Elle0704]

Thanks!

[@goow]

Thanks, Elle!!
