00:00Hi guys!
00:01I'm senior beauty editor Lexi Lebsack and we're here in Los Angeles with a lot of concealers
00:06and celebrity and editorial makeup artist Andre Sarmiento.
00:09Hi guys!
00:10I have been following your career for many years now and one of the reasons is that you
00:15do skin perfect.
00:17It's glowy, it's pristine, it's like highlighted and contoured and perfect but it's so natural
00:23looking.
00:24Thank you so much.
00:25So Andre works with celebrities like Kate Bosworth and Nicola Pell, Britney Snow.
00:30I'm really lucky that I get to kind of be the hands that kind of manifest the things that
00:35they like to see on their face.
00:36So we tested over a hundred drugstore concealers from 13 different brands.
00:41And we really did.
00:43My hand is raw.
00:45We really did.
00:45So in testing all the concealers I think we had four kind of main guidelines that I think
00:51really defined what the best ones were for us.
00:53And I think that was luminosity, tone, applicator, and blendability.
00:58All right.
00:59So let's go to our first pick.
01:01All right.
01:01Our first pick you guys is Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser.
01:06This is great if you have dark circles and you really, really, really want to brighten
01:12them with confidence that they're going to stay covered because it lasts a really long
01:16time.
01:17And as you can see, it's just so nice.
01:19It's like I'm almost rubbing cream into...
01:21It's so nice.
01:22...into my hand.
01:24But it also sets.
01:25So it's going to wear well.
01:26It's not like this super, super, super creamy product that is going to fade or crease on
01:32you.
01:32I feel like this is almost like giving me YSL Touche Eclat vibe.
01:35Yeah.
01:36For sure.
01:37It does.
01:37It's that kind of vibe.
01:38That brightening, you know, really luminous that just seems to, you know, pop light right
01:45into your face.
01:46Sarah, do you want to come get your makeup done?
01:48Okay, guys.
01:48So we're going to do a little bit of the Maybelline Age Rewind, and then you can take
01:54a brush or your finger and kind of just like blend that in.
02:03What is our second pick?
02:05All right, our second pick is from Physicians Formula.
02:09It's the hashtag InstaReady Full Coverage Concealer, which is very now...
02:15His name is...
02:15I'm sorry.
02:17So I was shocked at how good this one was.
02:19Just pumping it, guys.
02:20I mean, I think you can tell the coverage that's in there just from the single pump.
02:25And what's really cool is they give you these little blenders.
02:28As you can see, it just like blends so nicely.
02:31And with the sponge, it's like really giving you that kind of airbrush...
02:35It's really pretty.
02:36...finish.
02:36And it's a nice moisturizing texture as well.
02:39But it really feels like it has grip on your skin, so it doesn't feel like it's going to
02:43go away immediately.
02:45It's really, really, really nice.
02:46And yeah, I can't say enough about having a little blender sponge.
02:50And another cool thing, guys, the tip is beveled, so you can kind of really get into inner
02:54corner.
02:55It's hard to get in there with your finger, not to mention that it's a bit cleaner to go with
02:58the little sponge and more precise.
03:00This definitely gave it some points, this extra little sponge.
03:03But as you can see, guys, the quality is there and the coverage is there.
03:07All right, guys.
03:08Number three is L'Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Concealer.
03:13And this is, I think, a really amazing universal concealer, particularly if you love glowing radiant
03:19skin.
03:19And definitely if you are someone who loves matte finish, this probably isn't for you.
03:25But it gives great coverage.
03:27It has amazing staying power while still remaining glowy.
03:32Oh, look at that.
03:34It's so luminous.
03:35And this is a great thing about this range, is they have a color that looks good on my skin,
03:40which I love, of course, and I'm sure lots of you out there will love.
03:45But you can see it's, like, so luminous and just, like, the texture is just so, so pretty.
03:54Tiffany, do you want to come try some concealers out with me?
03:56I absolutely do.
03:58So I'm just going to take a little bit and just with my brush here, and see, guys, with
04:02just very little product, I'm able to, like, brighten up her skin and brighten up under
04:08her eyes so you can really get that coverage and still have things look like skin.
04:13So number four, you guys, is by Almay, it is the Age Essentials Concealer.
04:21And I've heard you guys have had a lot of Almay products in these videos.
04:27Yes.
04:27So just going to call this out real quick, Almay did not sponsor this, we are not in bed
04:32with Almay.
04:32They just happen to be the one brand that's been ever in, this is the third video that
04:37they're in.
04:37That's really cool.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Look at this, guys.
04:40It's just, like, so pretty.
04:42And it's just great if you have drier skin, great if you have dryness around your eyes,
04:49or if you have crepiness around your eyes, because this is really going to offer you that
04:52kind of moisture.
04:54I have to admit, I was a little bit shocked because the ones at the drugstore that are
04:57the twist-up, like, bullets, I'm always like...
05:00Yeah, you guys, definitely, some of the...
05:02Exactly, they're going to be good.
05:03Talking about dry, or weird, or cakey.
05:05Yeah.
05:06This is so nice.
05:06I mean, some of the bullets we tried, guys, were, like, I would, I'm sorry to say, were
05:10probably among the worst...
05:12Yeah.
05:13...of the bunch, you know?
05:14I agree.
05:14The most non-usable, but this is, like, wow.
05:17Not all of them, but some of them, yeah.
05:18No, some of them, yeah.
05:19Look, guys, it's, like...
05:20It looks really nice.
05:21...really absorbed into my skin and still has that kind of healthy glow and, like, skin feel.
05:25Really cool.
05:26So, number five pick is super exciting because it's...
05:30...from a really amazing brand that we know makes good concealers, but it's super innovative,
05:34right?
05:34Innovative, yeah.
05:35Right.
05:35So, you guys, this is from Iman.
05:38This is the CC Correct & Cover Powder to Cream Concealer.
05:44Powder to Cream, that's right, guys.
05:46I did not read that backwards.
05:49So, I love Iman and, obviously, they are known for their range of colors.
05:55For inclusivity of all skins.
05:58So, it's a little container that has powder inside of it.
06:02The flip top would take it off, right?
06:04And so, here you go.
06:06As you can see, I'm sprinkling powder onto my hand.
06:11Set that down, taking my finger.
06:13And look at that, guys.
06:15It turns into cream concealer from those powder particles.
06:21It's so crazy.
06:21Isn't that wild?
06:22How are we supposed to apply it?
06:24It seems to be activated best by application with a finger.
06:27And so, if you really clean your hands, this actually ends up being such a sanitary way
06:32to apply your concealer.
06:33All right, guys.
06:34We have our next model, Asia.
06:35Asia, do you want to come over here?
06:37Oh, that's so cool.
06:38Isn't that crazy?
06:39So, we can kind of like start here if we want and start creating a little bit of a highlight.
06:45Do coverage kind of everywhere.
06:47It's a really great universal concealer type product.
06:54Oh, my gosh.
06:55That was all five.
06:56I hope you guys are excited about trying some of these products because they are really cool.
07:01And surprising.
07:01Thank you for coming home with me.
07:02Yeah.
07:03This was so much fun.
07:04Yeah.
07:05Oh, my God.
07:05I had such a blast going through all these concealers with you.
07:08Me, too.
07:09I would do it many more times.
07:11All right.
07:12You're joining the team.
07:13Definitely.
07:13Okay.
07:13So, where can people find you online?
07:15I'm at Andre Makeup on all social media, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram.
07:19And we'll catch you on the next one, guys.
07:22Bye.
07:22Bye.
