I'm sure alot of us gals are on the lookout for the perfect concealor. I'm a NC40-42 - currently using MUFE Lift Concealor #2, & MAC Studio Fix NC35. What are you girls using and please indicate your colouring so we all can use it as a guide

NW45 here.
The Mods will probably move this question to the "Cosmetic Topics - Recommendations" section. Here's a previous thread where I asked about concealers. http://www.specktra.net/showthread.php?t=56069

I use MAC Select Cover-up concealer by mixing 2/3 NW35 and 1/3 NW45 in a 5g sample container. I only mix a little at a time -- a quantity that lasts me about a month. Before applying the concealer to my under-eye area, I use Philosophy "eye believe" deep wrinkle peptide balm -- it's not greasy like an under-eye cream might be. If I want to thin out the concealer, I place the balm and concealer on my brush and apply them together.

Other concealers I've used and like are MAC NW40 studio touch-up stick and YSL "touche eclat" radiant touch pen in 3 (peach) and 4 (toffee). YSL is not so much a concealer as it gives your skin a flattering radiant look.

HTH.

I am not sure if they are stil available, but if you can get your hands on 3 Custom Color Specialist Concealer Palette, you will have a good thing. It comes in 10 shades and they mix really well for desire shad, if your not one of the ten first up. The coverage is excellent and it is very longwearing. IMHO.

Failing that, I use the following with a fair amount of success:

Px Camouflage (sp.?)kit
Benefit Playsticks ( as concealer)
BECCA concealer (love this)
Stephane Marais stick concealers *cry* so sad this has been d/c'd

This ought to give you a few ideas.
