the best concealer around is Yves Saint Lauren 'Touche Eclet' (may have spelt it wrong!) it reflects light away from the area, its good for puffiness under the eyes, blemishes etc. they sell it in Boots :)

The number one thing you want to do if you have overly dry skin is to moisturize with a good lotion twice a day. You should be cleansing it & using a toner/astringent as well, but use the astringent less, as it will dry out your skin. My skin's kind of crazy- dry one day, oily the next, but I've found that matte foundations, when used in the right amount, work as concealers. They have a soft, silky smooth finish, and there are lots of colors to choose from- that's something I have trouble with. I use Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse, but I'm not sure if that's sold in Ireland/UK. Hope I helped!

If a water based concealer is already drying you out STAY away from the bare minerals - they will make it worse try Amazing Cosmetics Amazing concealer - it's expensive but it will last you 9 mos to a year

Liquid concealers are best if used in conjunction with a powder to stop them sliding off your face. Bobbi brown do a fantastic concealer with powder included in a double-compact. It even comes with a free powder puff. You can buy the brush for application seperately. Apply your concealer fater your foundation, so that you don't rub away all your hard work. It's also easier to blend that way. x

Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals is great, if you use a tight brush it works fantastic as concealer - very good coverage but doesn't look like makeup at all - and wont dry out at all. It's great stuff. I'm sure they sell it there. Do you have a store like Sephora that sells all types of beauty lines? If not my mom just bought some on www.qvc.com.

Have you tried putting on eye cream before your concealer? That usually helps. I use liquid concealers sometimes but they can be on the sheer side as far as coverage goes.

liquid concealers have gave me good results. I would say to moisturize 10 minutes before applying the concealer.

You can either put a moisturizer on twice a day (at night and in the morning) or buy a concealer with a built in moisturizer.

benefit undereye concealers are the BEST!
I've tried many different ones, including the no.7, bodyshop and the YSL, but they cover not as well as the benefit ones.
