During the last six months of my pregnancy, my skin was amazing.  No acne anywhere.  It was like a gift.  But those days are gone.  The spots are back, and they must be concealed for Zoom interviews.

Hands down, no questions asked, Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage stick is my favorite concealer.  Here’s why.

One. Ease of Application.  This stick makes applying the product so simple.  The correcting side dots on to acne, dark spots, or under-eye darkness with ease.  Just a little blend with the fingers and you’re good to go.

Two. The Formula. Many stick concealers that I’ve tried feel like sparkle, but this one is a good medium weight.  It’s also not drying.  It does not cake up.  And you can build it without looking like you smeared pancake batter on your skin.

Three. The Brightener.  While not enough to fully conceal my under-eye darkness (hello, baby), the brightener does lighten and brighten.  It’s not drying.  It does not cake up.  And you can build it without looking like you smeared pancake batter on your skin.

Four. Pure Convenience. I don’t carry makeup in my purse, but if I have a big day, I throw this stick in my bag for touch ups.

This concealer sells out everywhere.  Sephora is sold out of several colors.  Bloomingdale’s seems to have the best selection, but low stock on some shades.  If you want some help finding your shade, try Sephora’s shade finder.  I wear a 2N.

I’ve even been known to use this concealer as a light foundation when I’m in a hurry.  I just over apply and blend in with a dense brush.  Pop on some powder, and I’m done.  It’s convinced me that I need to try a stick foundation, so if you have a suggestion, leave it in the comments.
