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).
I've never been a blush kind of gal but as soon as I discovered how much blushers can change your life, my addiction began.
Maybe I over-exaggerated my love for blushers but they've truly been my holy-grail products for the past month or so! And the one that I've been truly obsessing over is the Estee Lauder All Over Face Deluxe Compact.
I've been using this compact almost every single day, it includes three powder blushes, one translucent powder and a small brush which probably you're not likely to use. Two of the blush colours are slightly shimmery and the other one offers you with a matte finish. They aren't the greatest pigmented blush colours but they definitely can create a beautiful wash of colour on your cheeks without it looking like you have a blob of pink paint on your cheek! It is certainly very suitable to use everyday for any occasion as it gives you a natural look but also allows you to build up. I just love it when blushers can brighten your complexion and adds an extra something something to your face!
The packaging looks very luxurious and it is convenient to carry around all day in your bag as well especially since it provides you with a decently-sized mirror inside.
'Petal' is a light pink colour with a slight sheen to it which will look very natural on your cheeks.
'Pink Kiss' is a coral colour that is slightly iridescent as well.
'Nude Rose' has been my favourite colour to wear for the past weeks and the reason for it is that for me, it kind of acts like a bronzer/blush at the same time! So I would always apply it a bit below the apples of my cheeks where the usual contour area is, and it just creates this beautiful look which faintly defines your complexion but also the colour itself is gorgeous for autumn/winter or even anytime of the year!
This translucent powder is great for setting your foundation or to control the shine on your face. Personally, I like to use it to set the concealer under my eyes.
I don't think that it's still available for you to buy from Estee Lauder as it came in a part of a set a couple of years ago. Nevertheless I have found a link to where you can buy this from on Ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/361118886920?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108
Hey guys, today I'm going to do a review on Maybelline FIT Me Concealer. You can get the concealer in the drugstore or anywhere where Maybelline products are sold. This concealer is priced at £5.99 at Boots and Superdrug, which I think it's a pretty decent price for a good concealer. First of all, the packaging of this concealer is not anything special due its simple and standard design but I really like the concealer itself. The concealer has a runny and also a creamy texture which makes it very easy to blend with either you fingers, a brush or a sponge. Personally, I like to blend it with my fingers as it's the easiest for me. Usually, I apply the concealer under my eyes to cover up my dark circles and on the bridge of my nose to cover up some blemishes I have. Plus, the soft applicator it comes with is excellent and very easy to apply on blemishes as it only gets a small amount of concealer on each time which you can build up if you want to!
This concealer gives you a light to medium coverage and it does brighten up my under eye area a little and as well as covering up my blemishes successfully with a natural, dewy finish, which is perfect for a school day!
I wear the shade '25' and it fits my skin perfectly! But I do recommend getting a shade lighter just for covering your under eye discolouration as it will help to brighten it up, and make you look more awake!
On the other hand , the only con about this concealer is that it doesn't have an awesome consistency, it doesn't really last you the whole school day without touching up as it starts to wear off after approximately 4 hours. However, coverage wise, I love it! So, I give this concealer a overall 8/10!
