I am lucky to not suffer from very bad eye bags/darkness, however I still look for an eye concealer which will help eliminate darkness for those sleepless nights.
I first came across this concealer in Beige 309 from Maxfactor last year and have been using ever since. So what do I think?
The pen style packaging (ermmm what do you call it?) makes it easy to apply. The texture is creamy and blends well into my skin. It does a great job at covering up blemishes and dark marks/pigmentation as well as lightly concealing under eye circles. If you suffer from very dark circles then this product will not fully cover, but it will help to brighten.
I've done a before and after below (sorry for the pic quality, it was taken with my iphone)
PROS
- Light-weight and does not drag on the skin
- Helps to brighten under eyes without any shine
- Creamy formula which doesn't crease or dry out
- Can be used under eyes and over blemishes
CONS
- Colour selection is limited-only 3 (Fair, Ivory, Beige)
- Expensive for a small amount of product
Conclusion
What I like about this concealer is that I suffer from dryness under my eyes and this does not highlight or crease on my fine lines (eek!). I recently tested out bobbi browns corrector and concealer which was thick and caused major creasing under my eyes! So for now I think I'll stick to this concealer!
If you have suggestions for other alternatives, please let me know in the comments section below :)
Boots often has 3 for 2 on Maxfactor makeup so it's worth stocking up!
Purchase from Superdrug or Boots for £7.99
