L'Oréal Paris More Than a Concealer

I am very pleased to have been chosen to review the L'Oreal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer. I haven't used a concealer in a while and was excited to put it to the test.

I like the container. It is easy to close and use. Light to carry in a purse. The design is simple.

I tested the Ivory (322) concealer. The consistency of the concealer is creamy and not too thick. The wide brush / applicator, called doe foot, makes it easy to apply and a little bit goes a long way. It can be used on targeted areas or all-over. It definitely provides a nice beautiful natural base. I used my fingers to pat the concealer on the selected areas and it worked perfectly. I used it mostly under my eyes and it provided a natural coverage.

At over NZ$20, I find the price of the product worth it. It is a very good quality and as mentioned above, not much is needed for the application.

I would recommend it to my friends.

I was so happy to be invited to review this product and it definitely beat my expectations. I have dry skin with breakouts so I did find I had to let my moisturiser and primer set in before using this product as it is a less creamy mixture than I am used to. Initially I had doubts but once I blended it in (it blends super easy!) I thought it was amazing and such a natural makeup look. I do think this will be one of my staples. The consistency is thick but it blends out very easily. The applicator tip is a perfect shape to cover blemishes and also give all over coverage. You only need a tiny bit as it does go a long way, some of my more acne prone areas I did double up but overall the coverage is very high without that sticky feeling. I would recommend this product to most but if you do have dry skin I would recommend using more moisturiser as I did find it a little cakey in my dry spots.

Really happy with this product. It was easy to use- had a nice applicator that was a decent size ( sometimes they are too small). Colour matched with my skin. Nice consistency. Stayed on well and blended well with a BB cream over top. Will definetly use again.

L’Oreal maintains that their new Infallible More than a Concealer is a waterproof, non-greasy formula which won't transfer, fade, or flake so the full coverage look is locked in all day. It is available in 16 shades for every skin tone. I am always looking for a really good concealer to effectively cover dark areas under my eyes and blend in hyperpigmentation areas on my lower cheek area. The tube the concealer comes in is fairly nondescript but does clearly label the name and number of the shade making it easy to find. The product has a clean smelling fragrance which is not overpowering. The concealer comes with an extra large applicator wand at the end of which is a thick soft bristled brush. The brush is very effective. It picks up sufficient product so there is no wastage and product stays put on the brush without dripping. The formula is thick but easy to blend and apply. A little goes a long way because if you use too much, it does settle in every line and crease, especially when using it under the eyes. A very light hand is ideal with this product, especially under the eyes, and just build up slowly in other areas that need more coverage. I apply hydration first, a cream or a primer. I suggest using a beauty blender sponge to apply the concealer to one area at a time blending and blurring directly after because it dries quite fast. I start with a little bit and build up otherwise there is too much product to work with. It takes a bit of getting used to and trialling because it is a heavy formula and can look quite drying and flakey if over applied and over powdered. I have tried it under foundation or on top of foundation and both methods give good results. It definitely is a full coverage long wear concealer and with the right prep, it covered my uneven skin tone very well. It remained intact throughout the day without irritating the skin, flaking or transferring to other surfaces. However very mature skin or extremely dry skin will need proper preparation and moisturising before applying as it could be quite drying as it is a full matte coverage. I like that the product is water resistant as in humid weather I sweat a lot through my face and now I won’t have to worry about my concealer running or transferring. The shade range is excellent and gives you a really wide choice, if using for conturing purposes. It also works as an eyeshadow primer/base. I usually use Nars or Estee Lauder concealer - this concealer is a third of the price. I recommend this concealer which if properly applied gives good results and does more than just conceal.

I love a good concealer and I have been using them for years as I have a lot of inconsistent colour across my face. Initially I had some small trouble opening this product which I admit did not start me as well as some other concealers. Usually the products I am familiar with are heavier and smaller in packaging. This felt a bit cheap and plasticty to me. On the plus side I did drop it (trying to open it) and it didn't damage - ahhh the positives of plastic.The shade was clearly marked on the top which I liked and I had chosen the correct colour for my skintone which is often the hardest challenge. The mix of pink and slight yellow was good in biscuit for my sun damaged skin.

The consistency was great - not too thick and not too liquid. I found the applicator large and initially this led to a bit of an "over application" which I got the hang of after the first use. It went on smoothly and didn't dry or crack or look "fake" at any point

I gienerally use a sponge to blend my concealer/foundation/colour and this product worked well with the sponge. Blending is usually another challenge for concealers and this one did perform well - it didn't disappear either!

I liked the lightness and it did seem to last most of the day. It worked well under my foundation for going out (husband said I looked great - very natural). I also tried it under a tinted BB cream and this was great for daytime. I think I will use the rest of this while travelling as it gives a great light coverage and a good colour (tested with photos that I did like).

In fact the only thing that let this product down for me was the 1980s style packaging (which I guess just shows its on trend but I like a subtle holder and the fit was quite tight (popped and felt like it was trapping air which probably means it would dry reasonably quickly if you didn't use it often). Great as an everyday work product. So it lives up to its name - it is more than a concealer but don't judge it by its package

L’Oréal has always been a favourite brand of mine so was looking forward to trying this.

The concealer sponge/brush reminds me a bit of the Tarte shape tape. It’s quite big so it’s good for covering larger areas i.e under the eyes.

I found it very full coverage with a matte finish. I prefer more glowy concealers for under the eyes but this was definitely an exception and I was pretty impressed. I put this over top of foundation under my eyes and any blemishes, and it’s last ALL DAY. It didn’t budge at all! It’s not cakey either which is always my main concern with matte products.

I also used this on a bare face with no foundation and just used to cover up small blemishes and it hid them super well!

The consistency is quite thick too so not a lot is needed, only a small amount needed.

This is the perfect concealer for all ladies that love matte full coverage makeup looks - which is why my score I have given is a 3/5 for if I would use it again just because I prefer glowy looks :) BUT I will definitely be using again!

My old concealer (Maybelline Fit Me) is nearly finished up, so this trial came at the perfect time as I was on the look out for something new as pigmentation and scarring sees me requiring more coverage. If it covers my under eye circles? Bonus.

First things first - the doe foot applicator. It's... confronting. Really big and a little intimidating. Also a little product goes a long way on this doe foot, so don't be tempted to treat it like a smaller doe foot unless you're wanting to spend hours blending.

There's a slight scent to this, not unpleasant. The packaging is basic, but attractive. Prepare to give it a good push down before screwing - it somehow pops up if you don't.

After using this over my foundation, under my foundation, applying with a brush/sponge/fingers I found my preferred way to use this was by using a sponge to apply it before foundation on pigmentation, and using my fingers to blend it under my eyes, again before applying foundation. When I used it over my foundation I found my foundation lifted up, so my skin was more bare than before. However foundation applied nicely over top when concealer was applied first.

It covered pigmentation really well, and it gave my eyes a more awake look - however if I used too much it did catch on dry patches and settled into lines under my eyes, which wasn't so attractive.

All in all I'd continue using it and would consider purchasing it once it runs out, as it's a very nice concealer.

This concealer is the best one I have ever tried, it truly is longlasting and didn't give me the dreaded panda eyes that usually happens to me when my mascara decides to dissolve into my concealer. My lifestyle is quite active and I need products that can stand the test of high-intensity endeavours. The consistency doesn't feel thick and blends easily with my foundation. It has a bigger than normal applicator probably because you are able to use it as a highlighter or contour as well in different shades. It has great pigmentation and hid my red acne scars well and has a matte finish that works great with my infallible matte foundation. Having a medium skin tone with yellow undertones I usually struggle to get the right tone, but the colour Cedar worked well for me, and it is great to see that L'Oreal caters for all skin tones. I think it is very reasonably priced and better quality than other high-end concealers I have tried in the past. I would definitely recommend this concealer.

I was lucky enough to recieve this for a trial. I have cool skin tones with quite prominent dark circles under my eyes that are quite hard to find products to hide. Surprisingly for me this did the trick and lasted all day. I applied it in the morning before my BB cream and blended it in with my fingers, immediately I was impressed with the coverage. Then when my partner arrived home from work a good 8 hours later he asked what I had done to my eyes so clearly it had staying power (don't you love men and their subtleness).

The applicator is quite large, larger than I was expecting, however it seems to be a great size for under the eyes but perhaps a little too big for smaller spots.

The concealer is a good size, not too big or long so I can chuck it in my handbag or clutch for touch ups. I also like that the applicator is quite large, even though I would dot my face anyway and use my fingers to blend it in. I didn't notice any smell (bonus?) and the consistency was pretty good, not too runny or thick. In terms of the coverage, I think it did a good job, as I prefer full coverage. Normally I'd skip concealer and just use a really good foundation but with the concealer it just helped that little bit more with covering my blemishes. The only downside is that it started to settle a bit into fine lines, so maybe a setting powder or primer would help with that. Overall, for the price and it being a pretty good product, I'd recommend it as a drug store concealer.
