Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

This concealer is average in my opinion. I have dark under eyes and they are not covered well by this product. I also have very fair skin, and it is actually darker than most of my foundations. It would be good for someone with medium skin as it might be light enough

I am currently using this product. I find that it hides dark under eye circles easily and illuminates that area very well. It also does give you an 'awake' look. BUT it also highlights fine lines and looks cracked over the course of the day. So mixed feelings...

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 brought this product from the reviews from youtube and BR. I loved how it is easily applied on and with some gradual building it will completely cover up my blemishes. My only qualm is that I slight dryness around my eyes and this product seems to crack when applied to that area. I have been using eye cream to rehydrate, but however the concealer still cracks or flakes. So maybe they might need to refine the formula a little bit.

I found this product to give me minimal coverage and it sunk in/moved a lot. I was disappointed as I really like the colour range and also the foundation

The lightest shade is a bit too dark and yellow toned for my fairer skin. Consistency is relatively thin, but dries relatively quickly, not the easiest to blend. The coverage is pretty average. I think there are better concealers on the market for a similar price.

As a fair skinned girl, I found this concealer to be quite dark and orange under my eyes and found that it didn't really help me much with making me look more awake. The peachy hue is good for covering blueish bags under the eyes, but I tended to use this as almost a base to a lighter concealer. I found it to be quite oily feeling and it does move around quite a lot on my face, without really covering too much up.

It is a very light coverage concealer with a watery consistency but is very smooth and easy to blend in. I would prefer for it to have more coverage but is still nice to use. It doesn't crease under the eyes which i really like. I also didn't notice any glitters when blended in, which i have read from some reviews. Also was very affordable

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
