Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

I had watched and read many Youtube gurus rave about this concealer a while ago when I decided to purchase it for myself, I absolutely LOVE the Wake me up range and this was the last thing I needed to complete my range.

The wand pulls out a good amount of formula to cover both under eye areas, I also like to use this above my forehead and on my chin. The concealer is thick and velvety, easy to blend into your skin when your using a beauty blender or your fingers, and this needs to be set with powder to prevent it from moving.

As I am getting older, the creases under my eyes are increasing and using this concealer makes the creases a lot more visible, I have tried less concealer but it doesn't make a difference, it really does brighten under your eyes but it also draws attention to my fine lines.

I have not found a way around this and now only use it to highlight my chin and forehead.

I would recommend this to younger ladies or ones that don't have many lines or creases under their eyes.

I *love* the Rimmel Match Perfection concealer for under my eyes and on any redness, but unfortunately this one hasn't impressed me as much. I only picked it up because I had completely run out of Match Perfection, was at the Warehouse, and they only had this one so I decided to give it a try.

The Good:

-This is illuminating, and doesn't give a "heavy", matte look which is never good under the eyes.

-Great packaging, in my opinion. I like doefoot applicators as you can easily control how much you use.

-Inexpensive, compared to many other "drugstore" concealers.

The Not-So-Good:

-Contains a lot of shimmer. I guess that adds to the whole "illuminating" aspect, but I hate knowing that if I'm standing in direct sunlight, people are going to be able to see my face practically sparkling. It isn't really noticeable at all in some light, but for me at least it definitely is in sunlight.

-Slightly too dark. :( I got the lightest shade which seemed okay when I first applied it, but when it set after a few minutes it oxidised to about a shade darker, which wasn't a good look. I could make it work by heaps of blending if I was wearing foundation, but on a normal day I usually just wear concealer and a bit of blush, so that was a pain for me.

-Sheer coverage. I couldn't build this up to a decent coverage without it creasing instantly, so I had to stick with just the one sheer layer, and it really didn't do much to actually correct the darkness.

All this being said, I know of people who swear by this concealer, and I've read many amazing reviews of it. As with all makeup, some things will work amazingly for some, not so amazingly for others. However, if you have quite fair skin, I would recommend the Match Perfection concealer over this one, if for no other reason than that it runs a lot lighter than this one. Hope this helps some of you. xx

My favourite concealer! Ok, I don't use it on blemishes but for under my eyes I adore using this. I hated the matching foundation, the shimmer on me was horrendous. I have this in shade Light and also the shade Light/medium. I prefer light/medium as it's pretty much perfect for me at the moment (summer) but light is good in winter. I find it is creamy and easily blendable. It has never creased on me. I also don't detect any/much shimmer... Which is lucky as I'm not into overly shimmery concealers. I have the bare minerals 'stroke of light' and that contains a lot of shimmer, when swatched on the back of my hand, side by side I can't see any shimmer in the light/medium swatch. Only a slight amount in the 'light' shade. They are very pink based.

It provides me with good enough coverage but could be higher coverage for those real BAD days ;)

I buy mine from beautyjoint.com for roughly US$7.

Heard so many good things about this and finally got mine! It's so light weight and easy to blend, which is perfect for under-eye concealer!! I love how dewy this concealer is! A lot of natural light reflecting going on for those area that needs highlighting which is a great thing!

The only con for this concealer is that it fades a little bit after a few hours. But again this is a light weight and light to medium coverage concealer, so I guess it's usual for the coverage to fade just a little bit.

Definitely recommend to everyone!!

I had heard rave reviews of the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer from a few beauty gurus on Youtube.. That it was a fabulous product, covers super dark circles and it covers so well.. In my opinion it was completely average.

The product itself for the first few goes was pretty good, it had good coverage for a few hours, but after that it did feel pretty weak and didn't last that long. I feel as if this would be better in a tube as you don't get all the product out.. I still have a fair bit right at the bottom and top but it wont come out as the brush is targeted to the middle of the tube.

All in all, alright coverage but nothing to rave about. Wish it was in a squeezy tube rather than with a brush as you don't get all of the product.

I like everything about this concealer, apart from the fact that it has tiny glitters all throughout it which are visible on your face when blended out. Despite this i really like the natural finish of this concealer, it isn't too matte or dewy. It has medium coverage which I would not say is buildable, if i need more coverage i combine this with another concealer such as collection lasting perfection. Overall this is a nice, everyday concealer which I have repurchased, my main issue is the glitter.

I bought this concealer on ASOS as its about $8 cheaper (sometimes less if on sale) and shipping is free.

I use it as an under eye concealer and in any places on my face that need brightening. Its a nice liquid concealer that is applied with a doe foot applicator, so you don't waste product on your fingers. It does brighten my skin quite a lot and I now notice a big difference when i'm not using it.

I definitely wouldn't use this on any blemishes as I have heard that brightening concealers reflect light and draw attention to areas like that. I go for a cream concealer stick for full coverage of pimples.

The one thing that lets this product down is it does crease initially, so once its applied and I have done the rest of my makeup i'll go back and rub it in a bit more and then its usually fine. It's very light weight and doesn't feel heavy on your skin throughout the day.

This is the best under eye concealer I've tried. It brightens and covers really well, and what is left over I use to highlight my nose. It also doesn't crease of cake. It says you can use it on blemishes but because of the highlighting/ brightening effect I wouldn't. Its best to stick to different toned concealers for different jobs.

ASOS often has this on sale for 10$. I bought this for a friend then ended up using it myself, it can cover puffy eyes and it looks natural as well

Love this concealer, doesn't crease and hides 99% of blemishes and unwanted skin mishaps. Lasts all day and love how cheap it is !
