The Collection Lasting Perfection
This is probably the most hyped about drugstore concealer, and this comes in 4 different shades, (Fair, Dark, Cool Medium&Warm Medium) Warm being Yellow undertones and Cool being pink. The fact that they have seperated there tones makes it easier to find a match, it's a shame they don't do this for light&dark. As I have very very pale skin- (i'm a MAC NW15) I use the shade fair, which has neutral undertones (A balance of pink and yellow) which means it doesn't 100% match my skin tone, and can sometimes take away my natural colour, saying this it does cover redness pretty well. The price used to be £3.50 but now in superdrug I pay £5.50 which I think is a lot considering the fact there isn't a lot of product and I can get through one of these in a couple of weeks. I don't like the applicator as it picks up too much product in one go, and also it's unhygenic to use on spots, also I find that when I dot the product under the eye it puts too much there and it starts to look cakey. The problem with this product is after 2 weeks you have to store it up right, so the concealer runs to the bottom, otherwise there is no product there. Although this is a good product; value for moneywise you're actually better off getting a MAC concealer as these last so much longer, I had my studio finish concealer for 6 months, and my Pro longwear for 5 months at a time although you're paying more, in the long run it works out cheaper and the MAC is better quality.
The Seventeen Phwoarr Paint Concealer
This concealer is a total rip off and I do not reccomend this to anybody, the packaging is cute as it's a little tub like thing with a mirror inside, this is handy for travelling, however I found the product very orange based, even though I picked up the lightest shade- (Fair). They only have 2 shades to chose from which means that the selection is very limited and it's hard to find a match. This concealer claims to be 'Heavy duty under eye concealer
The One. The hard core concealer to wage war on under eye circles.'
However this is not the case at all, this product isn't awful on spots and conceals them pretty well (under foundation as the orange is too much to bare) but I found it awful under the eye, the creasing was awful and the product didn't cover anything. Valuewise the tub contains barely anything and within a month i'd hit pan, The MAC studio finish concealer is 100% better and lasts more than 6 times as long, this concealer also has so many more shade options. I do not reccomend this at all. Stay away.
Thank you for this great advice but please reply on facebook😂
