Alternative to Benefit concealer as im skint :(

beadgirl87

Hi guys,
For a while now I have been using benefit make up, I really like their boing concealer and their foundation. I think they work well on me and I have been ok with the prices as I only get 1 every 6 months or more.
However I am pretty poor right now, and really don't like the thought of spending £16 on concealer.
Can anyone recommed any other good cheaper brands as I will run out soon. I have quite pale skin, dry to medium and have dark circles under my eyes so use it mainly there. I like the creamy consistancy of it.
I also use body shop toiletres, which I like. I have had a look at avon as my friend works for them, but was very disappointed.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Doesn't have to be dirt cheap, probably up to £10 would be considered.

im not being horrible but if you can afford a tenner can you not stretch another six quid so incase you buy a product you dont like you wont waste your money? do you have any boots points?

I'm really impressed with Collection 2000's concealer - I've got MAC's Studio Finish and their moisturising concealers but I reach for the C2000 one more. Seems to be nicer on my dry skin and lasts/blends just as well. Maybelline's unwind or rewind one is supposed to be nice too but I've not tried that one yet.

I second the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection one, it has great coverage and doesn't cake up on my dry skin.

Boots 17 own brand make up is fantastic, I haven't tried the concealer as I dont wear it but I have tried most other products and have never been let down, also they are 3 for 2 atm and there are offers on the advantage card machine if you have one:)

Oh I adore Boiing! But when I can't afford it I buy the Boots No 17 one. It's about £3.99, often they have 342 offers.

I too have horrible dark circles and I read a tip from another MSEr about using a green concealor on them first, then normal concealor on top. And I tried it and it does work very well!! I just buy the Boots Natural Collection one which is £2.

if you have something you love try and get the extra £6 to pay for it. Worst case you get something cheaper, dont like it and end up getting the benefit anyway (or trying a couple of cheaper alternatives and spending the same sort of money in the hunt for a cheaper alternative).

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection - I use it over a few of my expensive ones now and it is only £3 or £4, Great coverage and not cakey!

I agree with the others who say Collection 2000, I can't tell the difference really between this one and the much more expensive Clarins concealer.
