Coverage: Medium

Finish: Natural

Quantity: 6.8 ml

My Shade: 00 Ivory

This has been my favourite formula for many years because it's one of those concealers that looks very natural on the skin and it blends seamlessly whether I'm wearing a foundation under it or not. It covers about a medium which is enough for me and the sponge is really helpful because at most times I don't need anything else to blend (unless there is a lot of product on the sponge). Using this really feels like an eraser due to the applicator. It doesn't slip into lines or have that matte, ageing effect, so it looks much better on the skin than high coverage concealers. I wear 00 Ivory and Brightener (swatches of both).

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Natural-glowy

Quantity: 9.6 ml

My Shade: 00 Ivory

One of my new finds for dry skin. Formula is thin, it layers well, it blends into the skin, looks natural for a concealer, yet covers quite a lot for such a lightweight formula. I'd say the coverage is about medium, it's not full, but it covers circles well and red spots reasonably well. I quite like this for blemishes because it looks a lot less cakey than pretty much all concealers I've tried, though it doesn't stay on as well as matte formulas and it can slide off. I got the lightest shade Fair and it fits me well. The packaging has a pump dispenser, which is precise and can squeeze out the smallest amount, however, I have concerns it may break, as it stopped working momentarily a few times.

Coverage: Medium, medium-full

Finish: satin-matte

Quantity: 13 ml

My Shade: 49 Ivory

This is not a typical glowy formula that Bourjois' Healthy Mix line is known for, so when I first tried in on my dry skin in the winter, I was taken aback how matte it looks and how difficult to blend it is on bare skin. But it grew on when my skin got less dry in the summer months and it looked nicely fresh. The finish on less dry skin still isn't the typical Healthy Mix glowy, instead it's more satin. Due to that I feel this formula may fit most skin types, while very dry skin needs some prep or a glowy foundation under it. It has a good level of coverage (medium, or medium/full with layering) and it doesn't look like obvious makeup. The applicator is unique, but I end up blending the concealer with a sponge or a brush, as the rolling metal applicator is only nicely cooling, but not effective at blending or spreading the concealer evenly. Quantity-wise you get a lot, however, this is not a tube that allows to squeeze out only a little of concealer. I wear shade 49 Ivory.

My Shade: 10 Light Honey

This is similar to Essence's Camouflage + Healthy Glow formula, which is/was the hydrating version of their more popular Camouflage + Matte (I'm still unclear whether it's discontinued or not). This is one of the cheapest formulas in the drugstores, but it's regardless quite good. It's got a medium, buildable level of coverage, a natural finish that doesn't turn too matte on me in time and it blends easily on a larger area. I often use this one instead of foundation when I'm in a hurry. 10 Light Honey is a passable shade for my skin, but I'd prefer if it were lighter. Essence only has four shades of these.

Coverage: Medium-full

Finish: satin

Quantity: 8 ml

My Shade: 005

I'd rather put their PhotoReady Candid version here instead, but I believe it's being discontinued. This is a coverage + brightening + skin care combining formula with caffeine and vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate). I prefer the ingredients list of Candid, as it has niacinamide high on the list, but in terms of performance I like both and they work similarly on me. Formula has a good pigmentation and a medium-high coverage without looking heavy. Finish is satin on me and it doesn't dry to a matte obvious finish on my dry skin. It covers my redness under my eyes and on the sides of the nose ok and it can cover an inflamed blemish too without looking too cakey. Staying power is great on me. This has a sponge applicator that Revlon say is antibacterial and I like it because it reminds me somewhat of Maybelline the Eraser except this is smaller. 005 Fair is a bit too dark for me, but it still works without looking very off.

Coverage: Medium-full

My Shade: 110 Nude Ivory

Since my skin is dry, my selection reflects that and I don't like wearing the most popular matte high-coverage formulas such as Catrice's Liquid Camouflage, L'Oreal's Infaillible More Than Concealer or Tarte's Shape Tape, but from such formulas Milani gets my vote, as it's one of rare formulas that doesn't turn very obvious on my skin. I've even worn this for no makeup looks in the summer. It has a lot of coverage, about medium-full, it blends ok for a matte formula and it sets matte. I try to stick to thin coats at this one, otherwise it looks dry on my skin. I don't even wear the lightest shade and it's pale enough for me.
