Ever since I picked up this concealer a few months ago, I've been wondering what I could ever use before it?! I actually bought this concealer to cover up something naughty on my neck, oops! But they'd run out of the forever raved about Collection concealer, and I needed something quick so I picked this one up, and I was not disappointed.
This concealer actually covers dark circles, or other dark areas, blemishes and spots without feeling or looking cakey at all. I find this concealer has highlighting properties too, which is great for making my skin look healthy and glowing, but it can also be matted down instantly with a powder, achieving a flawless finish. The wear time of this concealer is great, it lasts all day without creasing at all, if I've had an oily skin day I may need to touch up once, but it all depends on how long I'm out for, but this concealer definitely lasts 8 hours or more.
I really like the packaging of this product too, it's a lot different to the Collection one which I found leaked a lot and the writing rubbed off instantly, whereas this product keeps it's writing and has hard standing packaging meaning no makeup bags leakages and no having to spend about an hour cleaning everything!
The brush applicator is really good too, it seems to pick up the right amount of product and applies to the skin nicely, ready for blending and setting. It's a soft brush so doesn't feel harsh and it doesn't drag along the skin, which is something I hate about any makeup applicators.
The only downside to this product is I'm not 100% on the shade I have, which is Ivory. Ivory is such a horrible shade on me, which is why I think I hate most foundations and concealers, it is too orange for my skin tone. It would be amazing if they did a lighter shade of this concealer, then it would be absolutely perfect for me.

I have and love this concealer too, however, you are right about the colour match! I'm not sure this one is my perfect colour either. I'm running low on concealer so I think I'll have to try a different brand unfortunately! Such a great review! :)

I'm running low too, and I'm unsure if I'll repurchase because of the colour! Which is sad because it's a really nice concealer! Thankyou xxx
DeleteFor my skin tone the colour is perfect and I have been loving this product recently. However I totally agree they should bring out more shades the four they have on offer is not enough for every skin tone out there, unfortunately that's the biggest problem with budget foundations/concealers x

I love it, I just really wish the shade was a bit lighter! xxx
DeleteHaha you do make me laugh, but we've all done it! I've heard great things about this concealer but haven't got round to trying it, I love the Wake Me Up foundation though! x
ReplyDeleteOf course we all have! I didn't like the foundation first time round, but I may have to pick it up again xxx
DeleteI love this concealer! It's so light, feels like a feather. For me it doesn't cover worst spots/dark circles but it's excellent for blemishes :)

I love how light it is, but I do agree that it may not cover everything, but I wouldn't expect that from a lightweight concealer xxx
DeleteI really want to try this but is Ivory the lightest?
ReplyDeleteCaitlin l Eunoiapassion
Yes it is unfortunately xxx
DeleteI've not tried the wake me up concealer or foundation but I think I must do, I've been loving the Maybelline The Eraser Eye xx

I didn't like the foundation, but I think I might have to try it again! I haven't tried that one yet xxx
DeleteNot tried this concealer yet but have heard so much about it! I need something lightweight but has that coverage I need. May need to invest in this!!

It's so annoying that they don't! :( xxx

It's really lightening which is nice :) xxx
DeleteI've never tried the wake up concealer but I might have to look out for it! I use the YSL Touche Eclait most of the time but it doesn't always cover my dark circles so this one could work better! A bit annoying that they don't go lighter than the ivory shade though!
ReplyDeleteAlso I really like your new blog design :)

Definitely pick it up, it's really lightening and covers my dark circles which can get quite bad! So annoying that the shade range is quite bad though. Thankyou so much, so happy with it xxx
DeleteI love this concealer, perfect for hiding dark circles! Have you tried the Wake Me Up foundation? I swear by it!
