Happy Wednesday/ Thursday!
Even though I still like to stick to some of my tried-and-tested products, I am also now at a point where I am more open to trying new things... and so my hunt for a new concealer begins! ;)
Find Your Perfect Concealer!
It's the key to amazing-looking skin. Here's our guide to picking the best one for you, applying it like a pro and more!
***People StyleWatch June 2012***
I swear by my MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer (I just love it and I actually have to get a new one), but I also wanted to try something new, so I bought myself a NYX Concealer when I went to IMATS back in June 2012 -- yup, this post should've been done ages ago, haha... but as I always say, better late than never! ;)
Our Concealer Jars are back and ready to hide the villains of dark circles and blemishes stronger than ever! We supply concealers in all shades with an improved formula providing long-lasting full coverage. A moisture-rich, emollient formula designed to conceal discoloration, dark circles, and blemishes. Applied with a brush, the concentrated concealer goes on like a dream.
I got my concealer in Beige (CJ04).
I had really high hopes for this concealer -- I love NYX and I just assumed I would love this as well, but nope, I didn't really love it as much as I thought I would.
Don't get me wrong though, it's not a bad concealer, it's okay -- I guess the main thing was I always compare its coverage to that of my MAC concealer. This one doesn't really cover dark spots and dark circles as well as my other concealer does.
It also tends to cake and bury into the fine lines on my skin = :(.
It's really affordable though -- it's only $5, so if you're looking for a budget-friendly concealer, here it is. :)
But personally, I'd rather just fork over $18 for a MAC concealer...
With that said, I am still definitely impressed in the variety of shades available for this Concealer Jar:
Porcelain/ Fair/ Light/ Medium/ Glow
Tan/ Nutmeg/ Yellow/ Lavender/ Green/ Orange
Have you tried NYX's Above & Beyond FULL Coverage Concealer before? Thoughts?
What is your absolute favorite concealer? Any recommendations?
I hope you are all having a wonderful week! :D

ReplyDeleteI need this and the colors are varied. They might even have my shade. xoxo
I am so hopeless with concealer!
ReplyDeleteaw, why? i might be able to help! :)
DeleteI’m great at covering my blemish with concealer, but it’s a different story with under my eyes. Oh boy it always looks like a hot cakey creasing mess. It doesn’t matter with the formula neither, I just suck at concealing under my eyes 8(
ReplyDeleteGreat review on the NYX concealer BTW.
i agree, covering the bags under our eyes is really tricky! :/
Deletep.s. thanks, glad you think so! :)
I haven't tried any other concealer besides MAC. To be honest, I just love MAC! As for NYX concealers, I can't believe they have lavender, green, and orange shades! What?!
