PRODUCT SMACKDOWN CONCEALERS

Tuesday 8 October 2013

Today I want to share with you some of my thoughts on three concealers that I have used over the last months. I thought it would be a good idea comparing three products to each other and finding the best out of them. The ones I will be comparing is the Mac Select Moisturecover Concealer, Maybelline The Eraser Eye Concealer and Collection 2000 Lasting perfection Concealer. All of them have been much talk about and I want to let you know what I think performed the best out of all of them.
I hope you will like my Product Smackdown and will let me know what you think. I am planning on doing more of these.
But for now let's get on with the review!!


MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer

Rating

This was one my first high end concealers that I bought. It has a very nice opaque consistency which is great for covering up under eye cycles and keeping your eye area lovely moisturised throughout the day. The doe foot applicator makes it very easy to apply the concealer where ever you need to and it blends effortlessly into the skin. The concealer is more for the under eyes that for spots as it doesn't last that long on the skin because of the moisture it gives.
The £15 price tag makes this quite a pricey products as you only get 5ml in the tube and that's why I only gave it 3 out of 5 stars. I feel like there are similar concealers out there that do the same thing and feel almost identical, too.

COLLECTION 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer

I think this must be one of the most hyped up concealers out there. And yes I have to say that I can understand why. This concealer is very similar to the Mac one as it has the same kind of opaque coverage and the same doe foot applicator to apply your concealer with. It is not as moisturising as the Mac Concealer which makes this better to apply onto blemishes but its can be a little bit tricky to blend it into the skin. You have to blend straight away because once its set it won't budge, which bring me on to the next thing. Staying Power!! This little baby will last you all day long and will not make you look cakey as some other concealer can make you look when you wear it all day.
Price wise, this is an absolute winner, it only cost £3.99 for 5ml and I don't think there is anything like it out there for the same kind of price.

This was a though choice but I only gave it 4 stars because I sometimes found it hard to blend into my skin, making it look like I was wearing make up and also I couldn't get all the product out because of the way the tube is designed. But other than that its a great concealer ( it nearly made it number one but I just liked the next one even more)




WINNER

MAYBELLINE The Eraser Eye Concealer

Yes this is my winner, it might come as a surprise to you but I just love this concealer so much. For me it just ticks all the boxes.OK were to start?
First of all I love the consistency! It is a light weight concealer that is just so easy to blend into the skin. It is the best thing for my blemishes and dark spots as it hides them so nicely. Just a few swipes and they are gone. Because of its lightweight it looks like skin and also last on my oily skin throughout the day without looking blotchy. It is great for under eyes circles, hiding them effortlessly and brightening your complexion. As the name says erases them 
;-))
The Eraser cost £7.99 for 6.8 ml, so you get a little more as the other concealers and because of the twist collar design you can get all the product out of the tube.
The only thing I am in conflict with  is the sponge applicator, on hand I love how easy you can apply the concealer with the sponge but on the other hand I know that a sponge is a breeding ground for bacteria. I can only think that maybe spraying it with some alcohol every now and then will help the bacteria from growing.
If you haven't tried this concealer yet I really recommend you try it out for yourself, I am sure you will like it just as much as I do.

So there you have it, my thoughts on concealers. I would like to know what your favourite concealer is of the moment?

  8. I've been lusting after the Collections concealer for ages now so I find it really exciting that the Maybelline concealer (that I have access to) beat it out in your opinion. I have oily skin too so staying power is important.

    Also, I read that the sponge on the Age Rewind is anti-microbial so for cleaning Maybelline recommends just wiping it with a clean tissue and not to get it wet. Just wanted to pass that along, but maybe alcohol would be okay since it can be used on just about everything.
