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.
00:58So let's go to our first pick.
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 my hand, but it also sets so it's going to wear
01:26well.
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 a 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.
01:53And then you can take a brush or your finger and kind of just like blend that in.
02:03What is our second pick?
02:05All right.
02:05Our second pick is from Physicians Formula.
02:09It's the hashtag InstaReady Full Coverage Concealer, which is very now.
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.
02:32And with the sponge, it's like really giving you that kind of airbrush.
02:35It's really pretty.
02:36Finish.
02:36And it's a nice moisturizing texture as well.
02:39But it really feels like it has grip on your skin.
02:42So it doesn't feel like it's going to go away immediately.
02:45It's really, really, really nice.
02:46And yeah, I can't say enough about having a little blender sponge.
02:49And another cool thing, guys, the tip is beveled so you can kind of really get into inner corner.
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, number three is L'Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Concealer.
03:12And this is, I think, a really amazing universal concealer, particularly if you love glowing, radiant skin.
03:19Definitely 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.
03:32Whoa, look at that.
03:34It's, like, so luminous.
03:35And this is a great thing about this range is, like, they have a color that looks good on my
03:39skin, which I love, of course, you know.
03:43And 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.
04:01And see, guys, with just 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.
04:17It is the Age Essentials Concealer.
04:20Dun-dun-dun.
04:22And 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.
04:29Almay did not sponsor this.
04:31We are not in bed with Almay.
04:32They just happen to be the one brand that's been ever in.
04:35This is the third video that they're in.
04:37That's really cool.
04:37Which says something, yeah.
04:38Look at this, guys.
04:39It's just, like, so pretty.
04:42And it's just great if you have drier skin, great if you have dryness around your eyes, or if you
04:49have crepiness around your eyes, because this is really going to offer you that kind of moisture.
04:54I have to admit, I was a little bit shocked, because the ones at the drugstore that are the twist
04:58-up, like, bullets, I'm always, like, not going to be good.
05:00Yeah, you guys, definitely.
05:01Not going to be good.
05:02Something about dry or weird or cakey.
05:05This is so nice.
05:06Yeah, I mean, some of the bullets we tried, guys, were, like, I would, I'm sorry to say, were probably
05:10among the worst.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Of the bunch.
05:14Yeah, I agree.
05:14You know, the most non-usable.
05:16But this is, like, wow.
05:17Not all of them, but some of them.
05:18No, some of them, yeah.
05:19Look, guys.
05:20It's, like, 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 from a really amazing brand that we know
05:32makes good concealers, but it's super innovative, right?
05:34Innovative, yeah.
05:35Right.
05:35So, you guys, this is from Iman.
05:38This is the CC Correct and Cover Powder to Cream Concealer.
05:44Powder to cream.
05:45That's right, guys.
05:47I did not read that backwards.
05:49So, I love Iman and, obviously, they are known for their range of colors for inclusivity
05:57of all skins.
05:58So, it's a little container that has powder inside of it.
06:02It's a flip top.
06:03We 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.
06:12Taking my finger.
06:13And look at that, guys.
06:15It turns into a 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, Aja.
06:35Aja, 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
06:44of a highlight, do coverage kind of everywhere.
06:47It's a really great universal concealer type product.
06:55Oh, my gosh.
06:55That was all five.
06:56I hope you guys are excited about trying some of these products because they are really
07:00cool and surprising.
07:01A bunch of things are coming home with me.
07:02Yeah.
07:03It's just 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.
07:11You'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.
