L'Oréal Paris More Than a Concealer

It's not very often that you find a drugstore concealer that can rival your high end favourites. Upon first swatch, it applied very nicely. The doe foot applicator is about the same size of the Tarte Shape Tape, the only difference is that the L'Oreal applicator has a little hollow reservoir which holds more product, so I would recommend wiping off the excess in the bottle before applying. Sadly, the shade I have (326 Vanilla) is a bit light for me, I'm an awkward kind of pale that's between shades, so the next shade deeper would have been too dark on me anyway, but I was still able to make it work.

The formula is on the thicker side, but blends very nicely. It did settle ever so slightly in my under eye creases and I would probably recommend this for someone on the more oily side like me, as I could see this possibly clinging to very dry patches, as it is quite matte (not as matte as say the Kat von D concealer though).

Overall, I actually really liked this concealer. Even though it is a thicker consistency, it is pretty lightweight as it claims.

Hopefully they extend their shade range in the future though as 16 isn't a whole lot.

I decided to get this concealer after missing out on the trial, it sounded to good to be true.

The product is a decent size, nice label and good applicator.

You don't need to use much as it goes a long way. The thing I love the most is the texture..so smooth and creamy. I hate concealers that dry out and feel heavy.

I find any setting powder seems to work well with this concealer giving a natural skin finish. It also lasts very well still looking fresh at end of the day.

Definitely worth a try. You wont regret it!

I love this concealer and the fact that it has very good coverage. And has a pale enough colour as some concealers can be to orange for me. I find it hard to find good concealers that dont melt off or cover enough. So this is good. Its fast drying though so you have to blend quick. Only problem i found was its not the best with building coverage.it can make pores stand out or go patchy if you are going over again with concealer. It could be other products i am using with it though

I had recently tried this concealer and loved the coverage, it was fantastic and lasted all day! I loved how easy it was to apply and blend, but unfortunately, for my skin type and my psoriasis, it was quite drying and I'm not able to wear it every day. However, I highly recommend it if you're looking for a full coverage 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.

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.

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!

I was pretty impressed with this product, especially considering it's not a high end brand and is affordable. It's better than other ones I've used recently for the same price and I would definitely use it again.

Something I noticed at the end of the first day I used it was that this concealer is a fantastic primer for your eye makeup - I've trialed it for almost a week and it's kept my eye shadow exactly as it was when i first put it on in the morning! This is awesome. The bottle is pretty big compared to most concealers which is good value, and it blends well and is good coverage. I wouldn't say it was FULL coverage for my under eye circles but that might be a personal thing...and it was definitely good coverage. It's the best affordable concealer I've used in a long time and overall i am really impressed. The shade was perfect for me too - looks like they have a better shade range

I was lucky enough to be sent this to trial - it is definitely not something I would have normally bought. I am quite picky with my concealers - I need a decent coverage but HATE the feeling of cakey makeup. And for, what I would deem a standard/everyday makeup brand, this product isn't bad!

Lucky for me, a lovely pimple came up right before I was sent this to trial (...you know what it's like ladies...). Turns out this was a blessing in disguise for a concealer trial! I tried this concealer out on gross pimple, one-inch scar on my chin/cheek, and on my red cheeks - for reference.

The good: it did a decent job at covering all my (un)beauty spots. No trouble covering the scar! The redness and pimple were ok (no better than any other concealer though). I do like that this concealer packaging has a wand rather than a pump (a lot less messy) and that it comes in a pretty big tube (definitely bigger than my Mac and ColourPop concealers I am currently using) so it will last a decent while. For any pale skinned girlies out there, the Ivory was a fine match for my pale skin - slightly on the yellower side if anything (I'm more neutral to pink).

The bad: although I love the wand, it was large! This means A LOT of product comes out - so be prepared to spread it around. For me, this concealer is less of a specific-spot-targeted concealer and more of a general-cover-everything concealer - not necessarily a bad thing for people like me with red skin but it can get a little messier. It also did dry out a little, more so on my chin than my cheeks so this would be a watch out for anyone with skin on the dry side.

Honestly, not a bad product and it did exceed my expectations. Would I buy it again? On sale, probably! But at the moment it just can't beat my Mac and ColourPop concealers for the combination of colour/not drying out/coverage.
