This concealer is very similar to the L'oreal one in the way that they are both stick brushes that you twist and apply. I have the Ivory colour of this which I think it is the lightest shade, but the shade Radient looks almost lighter. Maybelline say it's a gel like texture that diffuses light to provide on-the spot perfection, illuminates as it conceals!
I think it's a great concealer, i'm not sure it's as illuminating as the L'oreal one, just by looking at the before and after pictures you can see it has made a small amount of different but the darkness is still obvious. I do use this over the bridge of my nose to highlight and that works reasonably well.
I apply this after my foundation, so in the photos below I have used the Revlon Naked Foundation in Shell and then applied the concealer over the top under my eyes.
Before: Revlon Naked Foundation only |
After: Maybelline Dream Lumi over the top |
I think overall this is a decent concealer, probably better if you don't have really dark under eyes, or you are using this shade and you have darker skin than mine. The part I like the most is the packaging and the brush/pen application!
Have you tried this concealer? What are your thoughts and do you know if the Radient shade is actually lighter?
I haven't tried this concealer but I've tried the Instant Age Rewind and it's really good and countering dark circles! I think it's because it's peach coloured. :)

I wanted to get that one, but I couldn't find the lightest shade at the time :( Next time i'll try that one!
