DrugstoreDupes: Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer vs. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer



 My favorite concealer is the the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. Read all about it it on Sephora's website here. The one problem is that it is $29!!! It does everything you need a concealer to do, lasts a very long time and has an awesome  consistency. 
So when I saw the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer at the drugstore for only $6.99 I knew I had to try it out.




The wands on these concealers are very similar. I really like wand applicators on concealer because it makes them easy to apply. I used this for under my eyes as well as on blemishes. And guess what!? It worked GREAT. The Nars one is a bit more of a thick consistency. this one was more watery. But after it was blended into my skin it looked great. It also lasted a very long time, just like the Nars one!



The best way to apply concealer under your eyes is in a "V" shape, like the picture above.


Then, using your fingers or a brush blend it into the skin. Use a patting motion and work towards the inside of your eye. This will help it to last longer and not crease. My favorite brush to use with concealer is the Sigma F86 Tapered Kabuki.

So do you need to spend thirty bucks on concealer? No freakin' way!!! This drugstore one is just as good and sooooo much less. The key is finding the right shade for your skin color and applying it properly. 

Thanks for reading!
