Concealer 101

I'm back in full force! Yipee!

Concealers are a girl's bestfriend, or at least for me. :) They help me cover up my bad and by bad, I mean really bad under eye circles. I don't know where I got these...Probably because of lack of sleep? Or it is simply in my genes? But anyway, it is really a helpful tool in perfecting your canvass when you are doing makeup. It just makes life easier and trust me, a lot easier(by hiding those bad boys up!).These are some concealers that I own

and with them are brief reviews.
