Can anyone recommended an alternative to shape tape concealer?

So I've been using Tarte's Shape Tape concealer for a while, I like the coverage and the finish, but I'm looking for an alternative for several reasons: 1. I do most of my makeup shopping at Sephora and hate having to go to the other store just to get my concealer. 2. Shape Tape does crease on me unless I bake it immediately, which is a pain when I just want to do a quick, lightweight look. 3. I'm a little hesitant to buy much Tarte after the issues with their Shape Tape foundation release. So does anyone know of a similar concealer that they really love? My skin tone is fair to light with cool undertones.

@EllaGator I agree with @keelybt ! I have super dark under eye circles and am also super pale (fair). The Nars concealer is the best I’ve found so far. Its so creamy and smooth and haven’t found it to crease at all. I also agree with the dabbing versus swiping, it doesn’t take much. The Vanilla shade is perfect on me but it does sound like you might be slightly darker than me, so I also agree with trying the Creme brûlée one. 😊 The full size is $30 and comes in a variety of shades and you can get a mini size for $13 but those only come in 3 different shades, the lightest one being Vanilla 😉

I use the Urban Decay Naked Skin concealer and it gives good coverage and doesn’t crease on me. From what I’ve seen, it’s fairly similar to Shape Tape but it isn’t quite as full coverage. If you want more coverage, the UD All Nighter concealer might be a better fit. They both have an ok shade range. Both are good for covering different undertones including cool undertones, which is rare, but the Naked concealer doesn’t have a very diverse shade range which is pretty lax on UD’s part. I’m hoping with the current controversy over the Tarte Shape Tape foundation’s shade range that more companies will wake up and expand their shade ranges on all of their face products.

Hi @EllaGator I love the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. It give a good amount of coverage and doesn't crease on me. It's not one you want to swipe on because it is pretty condensed. I just apply 2 dots and that is plenty for me. I'd recommend the shade Creme Brulee for your skin tone.
