Hard Candy Glamoflauge v. Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Concealer

I know that I personally have heard a lot of comparisons between these two concealers and since there is a major jump in price I thought I would give you an evaluation of how they compare  to each other. First lets start with the basics: price, amount of product, and color range. With Hard Candy Glamoflauge you get 0.71 oz for $6. While Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Concealer will cost you $28 for 0.58 oz. Now as you can imagine Hard Candy doesn't come in a lot of shade ranges. Your options are Light, Medium, and Dark. Kat Von D has eight color options catering to more people with yellow and pink undertones. As far as coverage goes I think these are really close if not the same in that department. Personally I think the only reason you should buy the Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Concealer is if Glamoflauge doesn't match your skin color. If you're like me and you have vary fair skin I would recommend you go with Kat Von D. However, if you have warmer skin and tend to wear colors like "natural beige" I would say give the Glamoflauge a try first. Long story short I think Hard Candy is a better value cause it is just as good as Kat Von D's concealer. However, if Hard Candy's color selection doesn't work for you Kat Von D's Lock-It Tattoo Concealer is a wonderful alternative and worth every penny.

Makeup Forever Full Cover Concealer Review

This is the first product I've ever purchased from Makeup Forever. I saw this is in a few youtube videos and thought I'd give it a try. I bought this at Sephora for $30. It is an expensive product but a little bit goes a long way. I bought this in color #3. Makeup Forever doesn't use names like Classic Ivory or Beige so if you're new to makeup I would recommend asking for some help to find the color that's right for you especially since this is so expensive. I haven't found anything wrong with this product! It gives truly full coverage and is great for the under eye area which is why I bought it in the first place. I would recommend a concealer brush to apply this product. Use tapping motions for the most coverage. If you use this under your eye and you have a few creases I would seriously recommend that you set this with a powder or this will crease on you. I didn't do that the first time I used this and seriously wish I had. I also use this to cover up blemishes and it does a fantastic job. I don't think I'll run out of this product anytime soon but once I do I will buy it again. Yes it is expensive but it really gets the job done and as far as I'm concerned you can't put a price on that.

Revlon Photo Ready Concealer Review

I bought this concealer after watching emilynoel83 do a review on this and I have to say she was right. It was worth the purchase. It is the creamiest and smoothest stick concealer I have ever come across. Most stick concealers I have encountered are very hard to blend and you need to warm them up on the back of your hand first. Personally I think needing to warm up your concealer is a waste of time and product. As for the coverage that this concealer gives, it's amazing. I have some serious dark under eye circles. They're so dark I've had people ask me where I got the shiner (no joke). However, with this concealer I can easily hide my dark circles and they aren't covered with this bright and noticeable sheen that some concealers give off. You know the kind. The kind that looks like you've put way too much of something thats way too light on under your eyes. Even with my porcelain skin I can have that problem, but not with this concealer. I can apply this straight from the tube onto my under eye area and blend it out with my finger with no problems. I would seriously recommend this concealer to EVERYONE.

I got this at Walgreens for around $8
