I heart the Kryolan Dermacolor. I have been using it for the last couple years, and nothing comes close to it, ever.
for slightly lighter, easier coverage i like the MUA concealer sticks and the Maybelline Fit Me concealer.
and the Revlon Photoready concealer has VERY good coverage, but it flashes so terribly!
Me too Sreyasree! Loved the Kryolan one. I haven't yet tried the Maybelline Fit Me concealer yet will surely buy it soon.
Amazing post. I've personally used some of these and they are really good, especially the inglot and loreal one. Looking forward to try kryolan concealer.
Thanks Pallavi. Do try the Kryolan one, it is really good.
where one can find Kryolan concealer...??sorry my city doesn't have its store. please suggest online website.
As far as I know Amazon has it but it costs a lot. Even the store my city (Kolkata) has, keeps very few products. Availability is the only issue with Kryolan.
