Concealer review series #2

I haven't been able to do another concealer review because 1. I had a very busy weekend and 2. I didn't wear any concealer over the weekend. So I present to you number #2 in the concealer review, Rimmel Wake Me Up in Ivory.

This concealer is quite thick and has a spongey doe foot applicator, not a brush like other concealers I own. Complete with vitamins and peptides it claims to visible awaken and illuminates under the eye as well as completely concealing and covering other spots.

I do agree with a few of these claims, but I wish I had taken a photo a few hours after application to see if the vitamins do actually help awaken the eye. I know it concealed the undereye and made it a little bit lighter, but my lighting is terrible and you can't really tell that in the photos.

It is really good at covering spots and redness though! I might try and use this and the L'oreal one and see if together they make more of a difference. Stay tuned for that.

I firstly applied my foundation which was the Chanel Mat Lumiere, I then applied the concealer under my eye and down a bit in a triangle shape. I then blended it with my finger by tapping it until it was blended. I also lightly applied MAC skinfinish in Natural over the top using my Real Techniques Setting Brush. And that was it!


Overall this is a nice creamy concealer that does not dry or flake under the eyes! If you're after a cheap affordable concealer, and you don't suffer from really dark undereye circles then you should give this a try!
