Almay Lone Smoothing Concealer for the Face Versus L'Oreal Visible Lift Eye Line Minimizing Concealer

Under eye concealers have come a long way in the past decade. I am always surprised by the addition of new under eye concealer products that advertise that they will help reduce fine lines around the eye. I love to get double bang for my money and I love to try new products. In the past year I have tried both the Almay Lone Smoothing Concealer For the Face and the L’Oreal Visible Lift Eye Line Minimizing Concealer with varied results.

Coverage

The most important factor I look for in any type of under eye concealer is how well it covers the dark circles under my eyes. I love that both the Almay Lone Smoothing Concealer For the Face and the L’Oreal Visible Lift Eye Line Minimizing Concealer also target fine lines, but coverage is the real reason to buy a concealer. I found that the Almay Lone Smoothing Concealer For the Face did a better job at covering the area under my eyes. I don’t have super dark circles, but they are noticeable, especially when I am tired. It was more matte and covered more thoroughly than the L’Oreal Visible Lift Eye Line Minimizing Concealer.

Application

The Almay Lone Smoothing Concealer For the Face is packaged in a tube with an applicator wand. I do like the applicator wand because I like to dot small circles of concealer under my eyes (and on any other problem areas) and gently blot them into my skin. It seems to provide for better coverage when I apply it this way. The L’Oreal Visible Lift Eye Line Minimizing Concealer comes in a squeezable tube. I usually squeeze a small drop onto my pinky finger and make the dots under my eye that way. Although neither is right or wrong, if you prefer a wand this is something to keep in mind.
