e.l.f Hydrating Satin Camo Concealer Fair Warm

Product Information

There are various types of concealers available in the market, each serving a different purpose. The most common types include color-correcting concealers, under-eye concealers, hydrating concealers, brightening concealers, and more. When it comes to concealing pimples, it’s a precision game,” says Dr. Lee. You can always use your fingertips or a Beautyblender, but the best tool to use is a tiny lip or eyeliner brush to “dab around the edge of the pimple and feather outwards to blend, so you’re not creating that “bullseye” look,” she says. For application, I popped some eye cream under my eyes (not a compulsory step, unless you have dry under eyes like me) and swiped two small dots on my skin. I dabbed it in with my favourite Real Techniques Beauty Blender.

My only complaint was the colour match was not quite correct. Bearing in mind I bought the light peach shade, designed for cool-toned skin, it did look a little orange on me and took some blending. If you're someone who doesn't put on a full face of makeup every day, you may have an idea that concealer is reserved only for full-on, heavy makeup looks. But there is actually a wide range of full-coverage concealers that offer a buildable base, which gives skin a natural-looking, smooth finish all on its own. Where foundations can sometimes feel too heavy for everyday wear, full-coverage concealers can step in as your new base bestie. I find that it blends in beautifully and doesn't feel cakey at all - I'm normally a huge fan of Nars Creamy Concealer but this one is absolutely my new favourite. Another commented: "I just tried this concealer and l am very happy with it... This is easy to blend, the consistency is creamy and just right. Also it didn’t make the fine lines around my eyes look obvious as some concealers can make you look “caked up” instead of concealed but this also covered the dark rings under my eyes! Nothing to see here—this full-coverage liquid concealer covers up blemishes and under-eye circles while delivering a boost of hydration to your skin. The lightweight, blendable formula corrects and perfects giving you a smooth, satin, crease-resistant finish that’s long-lasting. Find your match with an inclusive selection of 25 shades.

It had a satin finish, which brightened my under eyes without looking oily and there was no sign of the usual dry patches concealer clings to. My sensitive skin did not feel irritated at all. Take a look at yourself near a window or in natural lighting to make sure the concealer is blended thoroughly. It would be great to see Boots extend their shade range to accommodate people with darker skin tones, because this is still an industry-wide inclusivity issue. Also remember that acne typically peaks during puberty when our hormones are all over the place. “More women than men experience acne breakouts throughout most of their lives, but many notice that it is not as severe and is cyclical, triggered by the rise and fall of hormone levels monthly,” adds Dr. Lee. Avoid touching any of the healthy skin around the blemish, and you should also steer clear of the very center.

After foundation is applied, take “a tiny — and clean — lip or eyeliner brush and dab concealer around the inside perimeter of the pimple,” she instructs. The built in sponge means you can apply and blend the product without having to use any other sponge or brush - this makes it perfect for on the go. You twist the top to get the concealer out which is really useful as it means you only use as much or as little as you need. Hydrating Concealer provides coverage for imperfections on your skin but also helps hydrate your skin. It is formulated with ingredients to moisturize and nourish your skin providing a smoother and more radiant complexion. The takeaway: even if you’re doing all the right things, like washing your face and drinking your water, acne is difficult to control. Thankfully, we have concealers that were specifically developed to both cover even the worst acne blemishes while ensuring that it won’t clog our pores to make our breakout worse. What is Concealer?A problem I have found with concealer is finding the right shade, but with 50 shades on offer, Revolution makes it easy to find one that suits. I personally opt for the shade C1 which I find to be a perfect match. I have pale skin and find this shade to work really well with my skin tone. This is something I have always struggled with as I have a dry, sensitive eye area. Many concealers flake and look patchy and I have long been on the hunt for a holy grail. Color-Correcting Concealer is used to neutralize specific skin tone issues like redness, dark under-eye circles, and dark spots. It comes in various shades including green, blue, peach, and yellow which all counteract a specific color concern. I contour my face most day to be honest just because I prefer this look for my quite round cheeks and face shape.

Once you find a concealer that seems to meet all of the above requirements, there's still the task of finding your perfect shade match. "Concealers are not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing," Meyers tells Allure. "When it comes to choosing the right shade for your skin tone, knowing your undertones makes it a lot easier." If you're looking to cover blemishes, find one that matches your skin tone exactly. Looking to brighten the under-eye area? Go a shade or two lighter than your foundation. As a last step, dust lightly with loose powder that matches your skin tone to set the concealer in place,” says Dr. Lee. The concealer also lives up to its name and works well for adding contouring or definition to the face. Despite offering a full coverage, it still feels lightweight and not at all cakey.For those who have a very red or cystic pimple, use a neutralizing green concealer before a traditional one. Take a conservative amount of the green mixture and gently apply it to the pimple head only with a precision brush. The idea is not to create an opaque green pimple, but to reduce the intense redness. Another said: “This is my holy grail concealer of all time. It’s hydrating and full coverage at the same time. I always have trouble with trying to find a concealer that does both.” I was sold. A Boots own brand concealer has been flooring shoppers, with some even saying it’s as good as high-end brand Estée Lauder.
