If you know me you'll know that my must have makeup item is concealer. I'm crazy about it; I will honestly refuse to leave the house without concealer on. Unfortunately though it's one of those products that is extremely difficult to find peace with: does the perfect concealer exist? That's my question for the world. I'm still searching the world for the perfect concealer but in the mean time the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer is my go to under eye product.
I do not suffer from horrible under eye circles (though they aren't invisible) and I'm obviously not in need of an age rewind treatment as I am a teenager however I have been loving this concealer. It was first recommended to me by a friend and I was very skeptical due to the very unhygienic looking sponge applicator. However I did try it once at her house and loved it. The concealer applied so smoothly and actually had really nice coverage.
The Good:
The sponge applicator makes it easy to apply and usually produces the right amount of product (to get the product out you twist the top and the concealer is pushed onto the sponge applicator). I also find the coverage is good and long lasting. I apply this in the morning over moisturizers skin and set it with powder and when I get home from school my under eye circles are still well covered. It also gives off a pretty radiant glow to make me look more awake which I really like since, as I've previously mentioned, I look like a zombie in the morning. Another quality I really enjoy about this product is its light weight formula; I don't even feel it on my skin.
The Bad:
Though the sponge makes it easy to apply the product I do have doubts about it's hygiene. Maybelline does claim that the sponge is made to keep itself clean, which I'm sure to some extend it does, but the sponge ends up looking dirty after a while. Another defect is that the product finishes very quickly; I've had mine for a few months and it's almost done (I do use it almost every day though for a couple of weeks I ignored it). However it is a drugstore brand so it is pretty affordable. The last thing I don't like about it is that it can give the skin a bit of a flakey appearance; this is very easily avoidable as long as one moisturizers before application however I would not recommended it to people with dry skin.
Would I recommend this?
Yes I really like it! I would tell people with dry skin to avoid it and people with a darker skin tone (as it lacks darker shades).
