REVIEW: L'oreal Lumi Magique Highlighting Concealer




When it comes to choosing concealers, the one that matches your skin colour correctly is definitely important for covering up your spots and blemishes however, choosing the one that is a shade or two lighter is brilliant for covering up your under eye circles and brightening up your under eyes. I've always used concealers that match  my skin colour under my eyes which usually does the job of covering up my dark circles, but I've never realized how much brightening under the eye area can freshen up my whole complexion, and makes me look like I'm fully awake, and ready to take on the day, when in fact I'm actually tired out of my mind.

The one I recommend using is the L'oreal Lumi Magique highlighting concealer which I just purchased last week. First of all, the rose gold packaging it comes in is gorgeous, anything that is rose gold just generally excites me, and with a couple of twists at the bottom, the product comes out of the brush. I just apply a fair amount under my eyes, not much at all, and then pat it into my skin with my finger in a sort of triangle shape under my eye to achieve a highlighted look. You can as well apply it on the bridge of your nose and the top of your cheekbones to have a healthy glow on your skin. You must make sure to blend well either with a brush , sponge or your finger. It only comes in two shades which are 'light' and 'medium'. I find that 'medium' is the perfect shade for me.This concealer or highlighting pen makes a whole a lot difference and if you look very closely in the mirror, you can see the very fine shimmers it has which reflect the light and give you an illuminating finish. It has a low to medium coverage and a little definitely goes a long way. Also the consistency of it is excellent, it can last up to about 8 hours.
 You can purchase it for £8.49 at any drugstore (click here to see).
