***** SKIN TYPE ETC. *****
I am 38 and my skin is pretty "normal" with no dryness or particular oily areas. I do have early signs of aging like fine lines/texture, as well as some sun damage and REDNESS!
I don't use fake tan, but I get very tan naturally in the summer as I have an olive undertone so my face is often a LOT lighter than my body, because I keep my face very well protected to keep my melasma under control and signs of aging at bay!

At 75, I love both the Estée Lauder and Lancôme concealers.

Personally, I prefer products in a jar. I am a very 'neat' product user and have never had any mishaps. Also, I feel that there is more product waste in the doe foot applicator and I don't like the doe foot touching my skin then going back into the product. Call me crazy, but to each her own. We are all different and prefer things different ways. Thus said, I completely agree with the Chanel product. It is a complete waste of money because we are paying extra for the packaging (very pretty) and very heavy glass jar. As for the Dior... Always the best. Thank you for the review.

I am over 50 years old and I love the Luminous Sillk concealer by Armani. It does what the name says, it's luminous and silky. I also like the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self Refreshing concealer. Both are not dry and perfect for mature skin.

Both the Huda and the Pat McGrath settle into my fine lines. If I set them, it makes the skin look older. The concealers I reach for the most and work well on my skin are Clinique Even Better All Over and Estee Lauder Double Wear

Totally agree with your top 5! I personally put the Chanel in #1 spot because it seems to work best on my undereye wrinkles. I’m 45 and and struggle with insomnia so I have a few extra lines there :) But the Chanel seems to look the most natural, feels the most hydrating, and covers really well with the tiniest amount. I’ve been using it since it was released, and I’m literally still only using product from the lid haha, haven’t even dipped into the pot yet. It’s amazing.
Thanks for this video, I’m always excited to watch your next one. Hope you’re having a great day 💛

Hi Charlotte,
My HG is Sisley concealer. It has a very good coverage without being heavy and it doesn’t crease at all. You need a very, I mean VERY small quantity and it will last easy much more than an year with daily use (you get 15ml product).The only drawback is that you have to apply a consistent layer of moisturizing cream first if you have a very dry skin under eye (and I have). Also you don’t need setting powder and it comes with a little brush (very good and useful).

Been using that dior concealer for years bc their cool tones are rosey rather than pink. I also love the "airbrushed" effect it has. However, I can tell you w/confidence this concealer presents as full coverage but just like Dior's perfume, it does not last long. I can also tell you, again w/confidence, that dior has raised the price twice since November 2022. The "reformulation" is simply niche skin care ingredients and apparently a a glass component. Which, in theory can't be all that good considering the price was only raised by $4. Thoes 400 pennies are enough for me to look elsewhere. Pms'y rant over.

[jackiereid]

Thanks for this. I must say that I freaking LOVE the Chanel concealer. I agree the packaging is not ideal. But for my older under eyes, this lays beautifully and I never ever worry about it creasing or emphasizing my lines and wrinkles. I use such a small amount that I doubt I will EVER need to purchase another concealer! LOL

[lavayuki]

I love your concealer recommendations overall, I bought both the Pat McGrath and Huda ones from your recommendations and loved them both. So I trust your judgement most :)

[Mama-de-Tia]

My morning routine. Wake up, walk the dog, check for a new Video from Charlotte! Snuggle down with a cuppa and enjoy 😊 you always brighten my day! Thank you

[Amira-ccid]

Hi Charlotte ! My favorite concealer for my mature skin ( I’m quite older than you … 😉) is the Sisley one . Very expensive but so beautiful! Thank you for this video ! 💖

[tarski]

Oh, I also highly recommend the chantecaille camouflage stylo, …soooo good, especially for no makeup days. Really natural but covers

[lovefilles]

Chanel is my Holly grale!!! And really it is an absolute perfection outside of the packaging. Great for lines!

[jackieturner]

I'm so glad you made this video I've never needed to wear colour corrector or a concealer under my eyes I've had my epilepsy tabs changed and shopping the has been hard i goy up one day last week and nearly screemed i haven't got a clue what to buy so taking notes thankyou so much xx

[Midwest_Sunshine]

LOVE the PML concealer! But now I’m definitely curious about Dior… 🤔 And happy belated birthday! 🎉 I turned 39 in late December, so I appreciate being in a similar age/skin maturity place as you…it makes your reviews extra beneficial! xo

[tedoymisojos]

Idk what the best concealer I own is, but the one I reach for over all the others is always the Loreal Age Perfect radiant concealer. I put a tiny dot on each tear through, blend it out with a flat brush, then do a second tiny dot and blend it iver the darkest areas. I also tend to choose to use a small amount of the RCMA no color powder to set it but the "powder foundation" from the same line looks great on top as well, very creamy, skin like finish on both the concealer and powder.

I’m 58 and loving the new Chanel concealer. I had been using the CDP stick but Chanel is better cover whilst looking more natural.

[BrendaBostonGirl]

Makeup Forever HD is the best I’ve found for no creasing, and it is self setting too. That said, I still would not call it holy grail status (though maybe that’s unrealistic expectations!) so I’m curious to try the Dior and I’ve heard good things about Lancôme as well.

Happy Birthday! Welcome to your 40's! That was one of my best decades. 50's is great too. Plus you look fabulous. Everyone will still guess you in your 30s when you're 60. Just stay out of the sun from now on and make them guess.

I must disclose my new Holy Grail concealer: Sisley. I'm shocked and appalled that I paid so much (although I got it on sale), but for someone who is about 8, 000 years old, this one is a game changer. I use the tiny brush to apply, and a tiny bit goes a long way. For undereye, as I've aged, I find what I need most is something elastic and skinlike (check) and applying it only to the inner corners and the inner undereye is key. It simply can't migrate into laugh lines and crows feet, if it isn't put there to begin with. It's dauntingly thick at first, but it's almost elastic, and the little brush does a great job applying and spreading it out. Hours later it still looks good. Shop for sales.

Thanks for the video! Expect decades more of gorgeousness. 💚

Please show us how you'd set your top 3 concealers please. The Pat Mcgrath powder doesn't work on my undereyes - maybe it's how I'm applying it? I would appreciate your advice!x
