e.l.f Hydrating Satin Camo Concealer Fair Warm

Product Information

I did find it blended well and a small amount of product goes a long way. I wouldn’t say it’s highly pigmented, but it is buildable without being cakey to offer a more full-coverage look. I was pleased with the results, which offered a crease-free appearance under my eyes, making them look brighter and smoother.

Applying the concealer after moisturiser, I found it glided across the skin smoothly, living up to its velvety claims. The budget-friendly concealer is dermatologically tested and promises to be ‘highly pigmented enhanced with a mineral mix complex, which perfectly masks imperfections and blends in seamlessly’.

What it is: A crease-resistant liquid concealer that provides a matte finish and full coverage for up to 16 hours. I often struggle to find a shade that actually matches my skin tone with most being far too pale and the limited range around my complexion often given an orange tinge to my look.

One review said: “I’ve tried concealers by Nars, TooFaced, Tarte etc. This one is by far my fave. Amazing coverage but doesn’t crease or make my under eyes look dried out.” For application, I popped some eye cream under my eyes (not a compulsory step, unless you have dry under eyes like me) and swiped two small dots on my skin. I dabbed it in with my favourite Real Techniques Beauty Blender.

Once you find a concealer that seems to meet all of the above requirements, there's still the task of finding your perfect shade match. "Concealers are not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing," Meyers tells Allure. "When it comes to choosing the right shade for your skin tone, knowing your undertones makes it a lot easier." If you're looking to cover blemishes, find one that matches your skin tone exactly. Looking to brighten the under-eye area? Go a shade or two lighter than your foundation. Full Coverage Concealer primary use is to create a uniform and flawless complexion by camouflaging any skin issues such as dark circles, age spots, redness, and blemishes. It is more opaque compared to other concealer levels of coverage. As a last step, dust lightly with loose powder that matches your skin tone to set the concealer in place,” says Dr. Lee. The built in sponge means you can apply and blend the product without having to use any other sponge or brush - this makes it perfect for on the go. You twist the top to get the concealer out which is really useful as it means you only use as much or as little as you need.

There are a lot of concealers out there with specific formulations for skin types, like dry or oily skin, or for getting the most out of your application, including those that are best for contouring , and it can get confusing. Below are a few guidelines to keep in mind during your search for the best concealer for acne. Last but not least, 17 and Make Up Revolution have incredible concealers on the market for such a low price point. Sometimes full coverage products can feel a bit too much on the skin but you definitely don't get that with this concealer. The product blends well and feels smooth on the skin, which is a massive bonus. You don't need to use too much of it either, as a little product goes a long way. Take a look at yourself near a window or in natural lighting to make sure the concealer is blended thoroughly.

I contour my face most day to be honest just because I prefer this look for my quite round cheeks and face shape. Color-Correcting Concealer is used to neutralize specific skin tone issues like redness, dark under-eye circles, and dark spots. It comes in various shades including green, blue, peach, and yellow which all counteract a specific color concern. My only complaint was the colour match was not quite correct. Bearing in mind I bought the light peach shade, designed for cool-toned skin, it did look a little orange on me and took some blending. I like a full coverage and this concealer does just that. It covers dark circles effortlessly and is ideal for brightening up your undereye. It also works well for covering up any spots or blemishes.

It wasn’t heavily scented. All in all a very nice, effective product worthy of its 5 stars! Works as good as my Estée Lauder at a fraction of the price!! 10/10!" It had a satin finish, which brightened my under eyes without looking oily and there was no sign of the usual dry patches concealer clings to. My sensitive skin did not feel irritated at all.

To pull this off, liquid or cream concealers are often your best bet since these formulas tend to "look very natural on the skin and have lasting power on dry skin that enables them to remain flawless all day," says makeup artist Erika La'Pearl, whose clients include Cardi B. It's also key that your choice of concealer comes with hydrating ingredients; makeup artist Leticia Meyers looks for hyaluronic acid, a well-known humectant that can help skin retain water, as well as peptides and vitamin E. When it comes to concealing pimples, it’s a precision game,” says Dr. Lee. You can always use your fingertips or a Beautyblender, but the best tool to use is a tiny lip or eyeliner brush to “dab around the edge of the pimple and feather outwards to blend, so you’re not creating that “bullseye” look,” she says. A problem I have found with concealer is finding the right shade, but with 50 shades on offer, Revolution makes it easy to find one that suits. I personally opt for the shade C1 which I find to be a perfect match. I have pale skin and find this shade to work really well with my skin tone.
