Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Concealer Review

without concealer / with concealer

Ever since I saw Zombie Boy featured on a Dermablend ad for the Leg and Body Cover (click here), I instantly wanted to try their products. For a while now I've been searching high and low for my holy grail under eye concealer and although I can't exactly pinpoint what my favorite concealer is, this has definitely grown to be a favorite of mine!


AVAILABILITY: Dermablend.com
PRICE: $21.00
SIZE: .3 FL. OZ.

VALUE FOR PRICE: 5/5

APPLICATION: 5/5
PACKAGING: 5/5
MEETS EXPECTATION: 5/5
OVERALL PRODUCT: 5/5


PROS:
□ Covers dark circles and blemishes

□ Medium to full coverage

□ Has SPF 20

□ Long wearing

□ Doesn't fade

□ Doesn't settle into lines

□ Small amount goes a long way
□ Doesn't look cakey

□ Feels lightweight

□ Doesn't look drying

CONS:

□ Comes in only 8 shades

FINAL THOUGHTS: 

□ I purchased this concealer in the shade Sand and although it's a shade too light for my face, it does cover up blemishes fairly well despite its claim for being "medium coverage". This concealer works great for my dark under eye circles because it covers the darkness extremely well without accentuating them, and brightens up the eye area without fading or settling into lines. My main concern with under eye concealer is that it doesn't last throughout the day and begins to fade and crease but this concealer hasn't given me any issues.

Clinique All About Eyes Concealer Review

Clinique All About Eyes Concealer - 04 Medium Petal

Clinique All About Eyes Concealer - 04 Medium Petal

I'm always looking for new concealers to try especially since I suffer from really dark under eye circles. I think my dark circles are partly genetic and partly my fault. Nonetheless, concealing my dark circles are absolutely necessary in my makeup routine. Clinique All About Eyes Concealer is a multi-tasking concealer that disguises dark under-eye circles while helping to reduce the look of puffiness. Long-wearing, moisturizing formula won't crease or settle into fine lines. Oil-free. Ophthalmologist tested.

Before / After

AVAILABILITY:  Clinique, Sephora

PRICE: $16 USD
SIZE: .33 FL. OZ. / 10 ml
VALUE FOR PRICE: 3.5/5
APPLICATION: 4/5
PACKAGING: 5/5
MEETS EXPECTATIONS: 4/5
OVERALL PRODUCT: 4/5 

PROS:
□ Corrects dark circles
□ Full coverage
□ Less expensive than most high end concealers
□ Packaging is easy to control how much product comes out
□ A little goes a long way
□ Can be used to conceal blemishes and other scars
□ Goes on smoothly without caking

CONS:
□ Settles into fine lines

FINAL THOUGHTS:
□ I was really impressed with the coverage and the consistency of this concealer. It's really smooth and easy to blend with just your finger. It does a great job at correcting dark circles because it goes on a bit peachy colored (good for canceling out blackish blue or purplish under eye circles) but it blends nicely into your skin. The only problem is that within minutes it settles into fine lines, making the lines more apparent. If I set this concealer with a setting powder right away, it holds up for a little while then eventually it will start creasing. It does everything I expect in a concealer and I think I would have found my holy grail if only it didn't crease. I don't recommend this if you have lines under your eyes. Unlike me, I have really deep lines that I've had since I was young. If you're only suffering from dark circles and the skin around the eyes are fairly smooth (without any lines), this concealer may work better for you. Nonetheless, it's a great product, just not for me. It may be more ideal for people with dry skin.
