Finally, an Amazing Affordable Concealer!

I feel as though this past year I've been on a quest to find a drugstore concealer that I actually like. Most of the blogger favourites have either been the wrong colour for me or just not really worked. Then came along the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Eye Concealer (£7.99)...

I was pretty much expecting another disappointment but somehow one of the only 2 shades this concealer comes in worked pretty well for me. I have the colour 'Nude' (although surely everyone's shade is nude for them...?) I picked it up because as much as I love my Nars concealer, it's definitely one to go with a proper foundation. This is a lot lighter so works well with tinted moisturisers, cc creams and bb creams.

It's definitely an under-eye concealer. I guess you could use it on spots and blemishes if you really want to but it's not really that sort of a product (if you want an affordable blemish concealer try the Collection Lasting Perfection one). The light texture also means you can use it for highlighting. Although there's not a huge amount to look at, I've swatched it so you can see the texture. It's smooth, easy to blend and will not cake no matter how heavy-handed you are with it!

The applicator definitely makes me feel a bit ill, but the fact it's an under eye concealer makes it a lot less unhygienic than if you were putting a sponge on your spots. The sponge does apply it quite nicely, though it can be hard to tell how much you're applying. Overall no product with such a weightless texture has ever given me such good coverage underneath my eyes.

The search is over so I'm gonna pack up and go home! Just kidding, but seriously, if you suffer from dark circles or hyper-pigmentation in the eye area it's a godsend. I definitely think they need to bring out more shades though.
