When it comes to covering up dark under-eye circles or erasing any blemishes, a great concealer is a must! Sure, it’s easy to buy into the hype around $85 concealers that promise miraculous coverage, but I’m here to tell you, it’s possible to camouflage any imperfections with a concealer that costs less that $7. Yup, I’m talking a drugstore concealer that’s creamy, buildable, blendable and available to buy on Amazon!
THE CONCEALER
If you guys watch my YouTube channel, then you may have seen me use this concealer before. It’s the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (see it in action here and here). It’s definitely one of my favorite drugstore concealers. It’s great for brightening and highlighting and gives amazing coverage without creasing or caking. I’ve worn this concealer tons of time and am so happy with how long lasting it is.
I like to apply my concealer under my eyes and down the center of my face (on the bridge of my nose, the middle of my forehead, and wherever I have redness or imperfections–typically around my nose or on my chin). To blend my concealer, I prefer to use a beauty blender because I feel like it blends the concealer better than a kabuki brush.

Just want to say that you are simply beautiful! Love all of your products and your recs. I wish you all the best and continued success.
Aww you’re the sweetest. Thank you so much babe, love ya. Xx
I’ve been a fan of this product for a few years now, the applicator is so soft and tit feels very light when wearing it. Glad to see I am not the only one in love with it. Have you tried the Makeup revolution concealer? I hear great things about it, I’ll give it a try too .. maybe I will love it as much as this one?! … you never know :)
Lol this concealer used to be an OG favorite of mine back in HS and college!!!. If you’re interested in trying out more drugstore concealers (maybe a video out of it doing a daily wear test on a few?) I love the makeup revolution one and I’ve wanted to try the Revlon one that ssssamantha has been recommending!!
I have been using that concelar for years. It is almost the copy of Mac! Definitely one of my favourites!
Omg isn’t it amazing? So glad you love it as much as I do!
It’s been my fav for awhile as well!! SO GOOD!
Love this concealer as well! Great buy!
I haven’t tried that one yet but I want to now but I’m not sure what shade to get. Sona what shade do you use in it?
Hi babe, I wear the shade Neutralizer. Let me know how you like it if you end up trying it, xx.
I haven’t tried this one yet. Jordan Liberty said he likes the NYX HD concealer so I bought that one and I love it! It may replace my shape tape since it’s so cheap!
Hi Sona, I have also tried this concealer and also like it but i have dry skin and at times it does get a little hard to blend underneath my under eye do you used anything under your eyes when using this concealer? Also have you tired the morphe concealers? If so what are your thoughts and do you have any recommendations since morphe recently opened up a store in my area. Thank you again for sharing sona.

I love this concealer from drugstore. I like the applicator too it goes on smooth. Tarte Shape Tape is my absolute favorite but this is a close 2nd. I always forget about buying makeup from Amazon, the prices are reasonable and I have prime !
My ultimate concealer!!! This is part of my make up regimen. It is a great under eye brightener. I do not have dark circles but I love the creamy consistency, it conceals & just gives a pretty highlight to the center if the face. I love the price!!! I am glad to see you promote it.
Isn’t it amazing?! It works wonders and it’s such an amazing price. Thanks for the love babe. Xx
Dying to try this concealer!
Hello my dear to be honest I also love and swear by the Maybelline age rewind concealer, I use it because when i started following you almost a year ago you have mentioned this before. I am so obsessed with everything you recommend. Love you sweet Sona keep on shining
Omg you’re the sweetest. I’m so glad you’re loving all my recommendations, including this concealer! Love ya babe.
I love this concealer too.. ??
Hi Sona, you are simply the cutest and sweetest thing?!!! I subscribed not long ago and am so glad I did. I share your posts with my friends because not only are they amazing, you give step by step instructions on how to make oneself more beautiful!!!(been buying what you recommend and loving it so far!) lol ?. You make it fun to learn. Would you happen to have any secrets to avoid eyeliner from running under the eye causing a raccoon look ??! I have no idea how to stop it from ending up there instead of staying on my eyelid!! ? Ya mind shedding some light ?!?
So glad you’re loving all my posts, you’re the sweetest. If your eyeliner is running under your eye, I would go for a waterproof eyeliner and set your under eyes with powder. Hope this helps love.
OMG!! ☺️ How awesome you replied! Aww, made my day!! I do use waterproof eyeliner but am gonna try other brands aside from Stila & Clinique. Gonna try Kat Von Dyatoo liner and I ordered a Maybelline n L’Oréal one. Also gonna try the L’Oréal mascara you talked about in another video!! Excited! Maybe the mascara makes a diff. I also purchased the rewind concealer so I can’t wait give it a go!! Stay beautiful? thanks again!!!
This is my favorite concealer ever the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer!! I also wear and love the maybelline powder fit me. I actually decided to try them after I saw your video! Thank you so much!! ???✨
Love the tips. Thanks
Being in my 40s I set aside foundations and use the same concealer you mention mostly to camouflage and that’s it. Touch of blush, mascara and a bright lipstick.
Also if I want to brighten up my under eye I use Nars.
;-)
oh yes! I love it too!
I love this concealer as well. I recently started using it and I feel like I have been missing on life. Love this post Sona! It is very helpful.
Aww good, so happy it’s helpful. Love ya.
I tried this years ago and wasn’t impress. My sisters loves it! for me the best from drugstore is the la girl and the heightened nars
As soon as I saw the email title, I knew you would be talking about the Maybelline Age Rewind! I’ve been using it ever since I saw your tutorials, such a good concealer!
You read my mind! So glad you love it too babe. Xx
Hi Sona,
Would you recommend me to get a shade lighter then your skin for the “brighten” trick or should I just get something close to my skin tone? I swear I never get it right with concealers ?. Thank you for sharing your tips with us!!
I always recommend using a concealer 2-3 shades lighter than your skin tone for a more brightening effect. Hope this helps pretty!
Oh I love this one too. When my newborn doesn’t let me sleep and getting my other two ready for school. It’s the best!! I also like and started using the benefit boieeing industrial strength concealer.. thank you for sharing it helps a lot
LOVE LOVE LOVE that concealer its amazing. You look perfect with straight hair, I’ll say you even look younger but still beautiful hahaha
I had previously bought a Maybelline stick and wasn’t to crazy about it. Then I saw all the hype about the Tarte shape tape which was a bit more high end. I do really really like that concealer but it is pricey. It’s always great hearing of other much less expensive options and I will definitely be trying this one out!! Love these post, thank you!!
My daily go-to when I don’t want to wear any foundation. I use a lighter shade and a shade close to my complexion. But if I want a full on glam look, I reach out for NARS or Tarte shape tape depending on my mood. Loved the tutorial as well! I love that you also include a more affordable, drugstore products. xoxo
I’ve wanted to try this one for a while so I should probably pick this up during my next shopping binge!
