Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit Vs. Laura Mercier Undercover Pot

Let's begin with the Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit.

I love this formula- it's super creamy and very easy to blend. Which means you don't stretch and drag the skin as much (especially the delicate skin around your eyes!) The colour has a yellow undertone which is great for asian skins like me! It is used in conjunction with a corrector (below) and I got mine in Peach. This is used as a base for underneath your eyes and then apply the concealer on top. Then you powder it to finish! Dark circles are gone! :) 

This product comes in two parts- you can choose to buy only the concealer but it is highly recommended to get the corrector too. It does make a difference! The packaging is very similar to LM Undercover Pot...so cute!

Now onto LM Undercover Pot......

This product has everything in one lil pot! Which is great for travelling:) A must have for your handbag!
One side is the "Secret Camouflage" which is used for blemishes and scars etc. and is a thicker concealer (Very similar to MAC Studio Fix Concealer pot). The other side is a emolient formula for the area around the eyes. And if you twist the pot, you will find the powder underneath! Super convenient!



Verdict: I love both products! It's very hard to choose- but if I really had to pick one...I think BBrown Concealer wins! The corrector and concealer combo is HG stuff- doesn't look cakey and the colour is perfect for me. The formula is sooooo creamy and I personally prefer this than the thicker & hard concealers. If only it came in an all-in-one package like the LM Undercover Pot- then it would definitely win!

Would love to know what everyone thinks about these concealers!

The Power of Concealers


Dermablend Cover Creme- This is a heavy duty concealer for blemishes and covers scars and tattoos as well. You just need the tiniest bit to cover everything. Too much and it looks pasty. I used this to cover a ghastly looking pimple for my engagement photos and the result was flawless and it stays on all day! HG this one! But this is not for everyday use.
Below are my fave MAC concealers......


MAC Studio Finish Concealer (left)- Its comes in a tiny pot and its perfect to carry around. Covers blemishes very well and its doesn't cake. Perfect for around the nose area and stays on all day!

MAC Studio Stick (center)- This is actually a stick foundation but I use it as a concealer on days where my skins is a bit flaky and dry. It looks really natural and blends well into your skin.

MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer (Right)- The texture is very smooth and it's perfect for under the eyes & around the nose. Its very buildable and doesn't cake so it looks natural. I think its very similar to the Lancome Maquicomplet. (below right)


Laura Mercier Undercover Pot (left)- This is one of my favourites. It wins points on packaging, its a 3 in 1 and comes with a mirror too. Top contains two concealers- one creamy for under the eyes and the thicker one is for blemishes. The bottom compartment is a powder to set your concealer. 10/10! I prefer this to the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage.

Lancome Effacernes- Comes in a tube and I use a flat brush to apply. Good all rounder and I like it because 02 matches my skin colour exactly! Very creamy and easy to blend.
