Milani HD Advanced Concealer Pen: First of all, can I just say how much I love the packaging? It looks so elegant and high end with the shiny gold packaging, similar to YSL's Touche Eclat. It has a clickable applicator that distributes the product through a brush tip. I find this very easy to apply, especially on the go, and the size is perfect to throw into your purse for touch ups. The formula itself is a little sheer so it doesn't seem to provide a lot of coverage; however I find it works great as an undereye highlighter. It wakes up my tired eyes with just a subtle glow that is natural and non cakey. I love this stuff!
jane No Show Oil Free Concealer: I forgot where I bought this, I think it was at Walgreens or Rite Aid? I haven't seen it in a lot of drugstores, but I know I have seen it recently so I'm pretty sure they still make this, you just have to hunt for it. Surprisingly, I like this stuff a lot! It has a thick creamy consistency and good coverage. It also matches pretty well too. It might get a little cakey on some, especially if you have dry skin, so be sure to moisturize ahead of application; other than that, I really recommend this concealer (mine is pretty old and almost gone, that's why it looks kinda gross).
Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer: I had a love/hate relationship with this when I first bought it. It can look kind of dry or settle into fine lines so you have to be sure to moisturize beforehand. That was what I didn't like about it at first so I stopped using it. Then one day I decided to try it again and now I love it! It does still look a little dry sometimes but I love the way it covers! The formula is so light, like mousse (duh) and it covers pretty well for being so light in consistency. I am almost done with this jar now and will definitely consider purchasing it again.
Milani Secret Cover Concealer Cream: I bought this on a whim (as I do with everything I buy!) just because it was new and I liked the packaging :P. This stuff is pretty nice, very light and creamy with good coverage. The shade I got was extremely light for me though, so I can't really use it that much. I stopped using it for a bit and when I went to use it again it was rock solid! I had to scrape of the top layer just to get it onto a brush. People with dry skin might like this because it is light and creamy, but if you buy it be sure to screw the cap on really tight!
NYX Concealer in a Jar: I love these! They are some of my favorite concealers. They have great coverage, are creamy and non drying, and inexpensive too! They also come in a good selection of shades, with some color correctors too, such as yellow, green, lavender, etc. Definitely recommend these!
Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette: This is definitely one of my favorite concealers. I know it's not necessarily a "drugstore" concealer since you can only get it at Target, but I thought that I should include it anyways. It has 3 shades to mix and match to get your perfect color, plus a powder to set the concealer and make it last. It also has a tiny mirror and two little applicators to make touch ups on the go a breeze. The formulas are thick and creamy and have great coverage. Definitely a favorite!
Some swatches of the concealers, I forgot to include the Milani HD Concealer though, sorry!
