The Beauty Lab: Feb 8, 2008

There are two concealers to DIE FOR. First one, BOI-ING Concealer by BENEFIT. The consistency is creamy yet not too thin. It gives you very very good coverage. The second one is Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer. Oh my goodness. This concealer hides EVERYTHING! Whether it's a big pimple to dark under eye circles, it does the job and damn well. The key though is to use a concealer brush. You can get concealer brushes almost anywhere that sells make up. It's my best friend and it can be yours too :)
Also, make sure your skin is moisturized before you use concealer because you don't want your skin to get flaky. Another tip: If you're trying to hide something major, put concealer under AND over your foundation.
The Benefit concealer is about $18 and the Laura Mercier is $22.

Hi. I have 2 comments unrelated to this post. But first let me say I really do enjoy reading your blog. It's great to read about different beauty products and techniques on a level that's easy to relate to. On to the comments/suggestions:

1. Maybe you can put a separate message board or forum somewhere on your blog so people can leave requests or suggestions for discussion topics. I had hoped to do so in your message box on the left-hand column but it only leaves you so much room to write. So it left me with putting my suggestion/request in this comment section, where it is unfortunately unrelated to the original post.
2. Could you please discuss lipsticks, glosses, or stains that do not come off easily? I've always wondered what is the best to use when going, for example, on a date. I'd want to be able to put something on my lips that wouldn't come off on my boyfriend when I kiss him. Maybe even something that tasted good? That might be a stretch, so I'd settle on something that wouldn't come off easily.

I had a huge pimple on my nose Friday and this girl (saysay) put on some magic powder that made it go away. At first I thought, oh great now my pimple's gonna get bigger tomorrow morning. Turns out, the stuff she put on my pimple reduced the oil I normally extract from being a regular sweaty male. My pimple is now all gone and none of the pics we took on Friday showed any sign of a enormous red ZIT! Thanks SaySay~
