My mom, Mindy, has some strong genes. She gave me her blue eyes, good hair, and (unfortunately) some very, very, very dark under-eye circles. Together, we’ve tried damn near 50 concealers. There are some winners out there, for sure. We love NARS for lightweight coverage and hydration. Tom Ford comes in handy for color correction. And Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Concealer is our go-to when our under-eyes are dry and crusty because it never sinks into fine lines. But overall, it’s hard to find a winner—let alone a product that checks off all of our concerns.
So when I heard the very first whisper about a new Charlotte Tilbury concealer in development (a beauty editor has to have her sources), I called my mom that second. You see: the Holenders love Charlotte. (I’m not just saying that—if you know me in real life, you know how serious I am.) The Airbrush Flawless Concealer claims to be an eight-in-one, tackling dark circles (key), along with blemishes, puffiness, texture, pigmentation, redness, pores, and shadows. Candidly, we weren't huge fans of Charlotte Tilbury’s Beautiful Skin Concealer because it was a touch too drying, so we couldn’t wait to compare notes on this new launch. Let’s get into it, shall we?
