Welcome back!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for the week ahead! Decided to post another blog about my core make-up pieces that are part of my every day routine! Today I am focusing on concealers, the answer to pesky spots, dark circles and the odd skin discoloration many people suffer with. I also use concealers to build my base make up, creating a fuller look ideal for nights out or special occasions where you want a more full on look!
I use a range in brands and priced concealers, so can hopefully provide everyone with a product recommendation that they will love and can afford!
Firstly Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer. I own too many of these as I find them a fantastic hand bag product that is usable on the move and quickly! The packaging is nothing special, but the product is lasting and covers blemishes perfectly. I own shades one (fair) and two (medium cool) as I find I can highlight certain areas if needs be, and also mix the products in case my skin tone changes as I start to tan.
One negative is the product can start to look cakey and clumpy on the skin if heavily applied and not blended thoroughly, but this can easily be avoided with delicate application. Definitely worth a purchase if looking to start a make up collection, or add to your current make up bag with a quick and efficient product!

My shades - fair (one) and medium cool (two)
Next is the MAC prolong wear concealer, which is my must have all time favorite product! This concealer is amazing and my ultimate favorite. I have oily combination skin, so finding a concealer that sits on all areas of my skin is difficult due to having so many different skin types! It lasts really well and sets with a little powder to give a flawless look! I usually apply a little under my eyes and nose and then on problem areas, then buffing it in with a brush to ensure the best coverage!
This product can also be a stand alone product, used on its own to cover problem areas when you want a very light coverage. The product itself is build-able to make a full coverage look, so is very flexible to meet everyone's needs!
If you go into any MAC store they are happy to apply to your skin for you to feel how the product sits on your face, color match and show you products that also compliment the look you wish to achieve!

Final product is Benefits Boi-ing concealer, a compact industrial strength product aimed at smoothing and hiding dark circles and moisturising skin. I personally find on my combination skin that can get quite oily the product doesn't last very long, and application can be difficult as the product looks cakey and thick when applied to my problem areas.
I also feel the product is rather pricey for the amount of product and the lack of coverage it provide for my skin type, so I wouldn't recommend this product for anyone with oily, problem skin or anyone who likes build-able or full coverage make up! A little disappointing but I'm sure suits other skin types perfectly!

My shade - 01
Hope this has been of use to you! Stay tuned for more blogs on my core collections! Happy shopping and happy Monday!
