This is a great every day concealer as it's so affordable, great colour range and very blendable yet great coverage. I've heard people compare it to MAC studio fix concealer, it is similar but I still prefer MAC. I use the darker shade toast as a cream contour and it works perfectly! I find the fairer shades are a bit warm tone so if I'm really pale I can't use it however if I'm a little darker the warm tones help conceal my dark circles since they counteract the blue undertones. Speaking of which the orange corrector in this range is fabulous but you have to use the smallest amount and I recommend blending it with the warmth of your finger. Only thing I don't like is the packaging, I don't mind the brush even though I only use it for placement, just trying to control what comes out is difficult. You squeeze for a bit and then it's hard to know how much has come out since its in the brush and if it's nearing empty the air pressure may spit some product out at you when you squeeze the tube! I have a few shades and definitely one of my everyday concealers.

When you see people rave about this cheap alternative to MAC Studio Conceal (which to me is a holey grail concealer) I had to purchase it to see for myself. First thing I want to mention is the shade range: WOW!! There is a huge range to choose from and if you look through google images there is so many swatches to help as a guide to pick a good shade. Product Claims: Crease-resistant, opaque coverage in a creamy yet lightweight texture. Do I agree with this?? It is definitely creamy and lightweight in texture which makes it a dream to blend out, it covers extremely well in area's of pigmentation and breakouts, but I do find it creases on me and that is even when I set as soon as possible with powder. But I don't want to say it is the product causing it as I do have a few slight fine lines under my eye area's. PACKAGING: I am not a huge fan on the packaging of this concealer. After you remove the screw off lid, you will see a brush tip. The product is discharged on the brush tip and it can be applied using that brush tip. But I prefer to dispense a bit of product out on to a mixing plate then use a concealer brush to apply. What is also great about this product is that you can use other shades to highlight/ contour with as well. I use the shade Porcelain to highlight with then I use the shade Toast to contour with. I find the concealers to last a decent amount of time throughout the day if set with powder.
OVERALL RATING: 8/10
Tips: I love to blend this out with a beauty blender sponge but I think any beauty sponge will work. And set with a powder to prevent any creasing.
This concealer is raved about for a reason! I purchased it out of curiosity and fell in love! It has a perfect consistency, good coverage and is very illuminating. I use this product to highlight and conceal my under eyes. It is now my go-to holy grail concealer. I love and use it so much that when I repurchased it I ordered more than one! I would definitely recommend.
Tips: I think you are hard pressed to find a concealer that doesn't crease and this product is no different. It doesn't crease much but it can crease a bit around the eyes. I recommend setting it with powder.
The best thing about this concealer is the range of colours! I have Polynesian latte skin which makes matching makeup to my skin tone a nightmare. But this concealer comes in a huge range of shades (and have since found out it comes in camo colours too, great for brightening sallow undereyes, or correcting redness). I found the consistency very thick and creamy which meant it was perfect for covering spot blemishes and sun damage pigmentation. The brush applicator is unnecessary - I usually blend in and buff with my fingertips anyway. But such a cheap price! I bought this from a chemist at $8 but have since found you can get it even cheaper than that.
Tips: It's more blendable when it's warm - use your fingertips not the brush.
Love this concealer, I have multiple colours for highlighting, contouring and colour correcting and they are all great.
I have two of these concealers, the lightest shade in porcelain and the green corrector concealer. I nabbed these from mightyape for $6 each. I hadn't swatched these in store and so was relying on internet swatches.
The lightest shade, porcelain was an OK shade match, at first I thought it would be too dark but once blended it was very similar to my skin. The formula is kinda thick but a little goes a long way. What did surprise me was that the tubes have a brush tip which whilst it wasn't bad it wasn't great, I ended up just blending out with my finger. I have to say this concealer was a disappointment. It applied and blended out nicely but it gave me no coverage. I have pale skin with a lot of redness and acne scaring. I didn't notice a difference at all when I applied this concealer. I found that it settled into the fine lines under my eyes, even when I set it. Even though this was the lightest shade it is too close to my skin tone to highlight with.
The green shade is quiet honestly a bit of a train wreck. The formula is the same as the normal concealer. I found this concealer didn't really conceal my redness at all but rather just turned my face green. This meant that when I put my foundation on over top I kinda just went grey. Not a good look, I wouldn't recommend this unless you had serious issues with redness (like sunburn).
Over all I had such high hope for this concealer but sadly thing is going to be a hard pass for me. Maybe I had too high expectations for a $6 concealer. This may work for someone with minor blemishes they want to cover but I wouldn't recommend this for anyone whose trying to cover acne or acne scaring.
Tips: Make sure you swatch before you buy, if you are pale this concealer may not be a very good match.
I happened upon this concealer in a massive make up clearance sale. I accidentally bought the shade up but once I blended it down and threw foundation over it it worked a treat! This concealer covers it all. Its creamy to put on and then blends out really well. It hides everything. I use it to cover the endless sleepless nights I have with a baby.
Would totally recommend this to anyone! Amazing stuff!
I purchased this from a dollar store at my nearby mall, and needless to say it is amazing. A little goes a long way, you don't need much as it spreads a lot. Also I'm so happy that it comes in really pale shades! The formula is really creamy and I can even use it without any foundation, and my skin will look flawless.
Tips: When it starts to not squeeze out of the tube, cut the tube in half and use a brush to use the remainder of the product. I did this and there is so much left in the tube!
I have been using L.A girl concealer for dark circles and even I use it for contouring. It's a beautiful texture and blend easily product. Need very minimal quantity to give you a good coverage. I really like this concealer. Last but not the least worth a purchase due to its affordable price.
Tips: Use small quantity and blend in well slowly slowly.
This LA Girl concealer isn't a bad product but it's far from my favourite.
On the good side, it comes in a range of shades, it's really cheap and it's quite bendable.
A strange thing about it is the brush it comes with. It seems really weird so the first time I bought it i pulled the brush out but was also a bit weird because the opening of the tube is so wide. With the second tube I had I left the brush on. I actually got used to the brush and now I don't mind it.
On the downside I find that this settles in my fine lines and creases under my eyes. I put it on and set it with powder but if I come back 10 mins later it's all caked in lines under my eyes. I ensure I don't use too much, only a bit at a time so I don't think it's my technique. I'm just not totally happy with it.
Still a good product for the cost, it's worth giving it a try.
Tips: Be patient with the brush applicator. It's weird at the start and takes a bit of getting used to but I don't mind it now!
