When beauty shoppers say they want to be able tot wave a magic wand to literally blur blemishes, conceal every fine line, and hide those increasingly common dark under-eye circles, they often think that means reaching for a high-end concealer, like the internet-favorite Tarte Shape Tape.
And while there are certainly moments that justify splurging on luxury products, the $32 wünder isn’t always the most practical choice for everyday needs (you know, like covering up hyperpigmentation and battling those persistent under-eye bags). That is why shoppers are loving Covergirl Smoothers Concealer Stick, saying that it works even “better” than its luxury counterpart.
“I bought two of these (one for my makeup bag, one for in my car for touch ups),” shared one shopper, clearly ready for any concealer crisis. “I really like the consistency and [it] goes on smoothly and covers really well. I also use the expensive Tarte Shape Tape Concealer which is a liquid base ($32) but honestly I think this works just as well, if not better!!” With your wallet not taking a hit at just $7, grabbing two seems like a pretty smart move.
One reviewer gushed, “This is my favorite concealer of many that I have tried, including Tarte and Yves Rocher. It has great coverage, goes on easily and blends seamlessly. It’s easy to use and hides imperfections nicely.” Thanks to its lightweight formula with chamomile, vitamin E, and ginseng, this handy concealer stick not only covers flaws but also hydrates and soothes, making it easy to apply mid-day touch-ups if need be.
For shoppers with sensitive skin, the concealer’s fragrance-free formula is just another added bonus. “I have had problems with darkness under my eyes. I have very sensitive skin, and this didn’t bother me at all,” one reviewer wrote. “I just put it where I need coverage and lightly tap it in. It’s a very good product for not a lot of money.” And for shoppers who’ve been loyal for years, the love is still strong. “I’ve been using this for years… Very natural looking. The best!” said one die-hard fan.
So, if you’re a fan of Tarte’s concealer but can’t justify the splurge, it might be time to give Covergirl Smoothers Concealer Stick a shot. After all, with so many positive reviews — and a budget-friendly $7 price tag — what’s there to lose (except those pesky under-eye bags)?
