I've been using Amazing Concealer for a while now. I bought it because I heard very good things and read good reviews about it.I know many people that use it and swear by it. But does it really live up to all the hype? I have normal combination skin, bit oilier on my T-zone. I'd say I get some oiliness under my eyes throughout the day, which is where I use concealers the most.
This is all I need for one eye...
What I did was basically apply it all over my under eye area/inner corner/towards the eyebrow/brow bone to cover up discoloration there as well as down the sides of my nose using the Amazing Cosmetics concealer brush (this was actually a free gift that came with the purchase of the concealer) I also went over the irritation on the outer corner of my eye, I don't know if you can see it.
Okay so it conceals. Then again, so does my Benefit Erase Paste which I'm actually happy with. The one thing that I am not crazy about is that because of it's thicker consistency it takes quite bit of a blending to achieve the desired coverage. I worked on it for a good several minutes to get the result I want. Another thing that I don't like is the fact that it DOES crease, at least it does in my case even after I set it with powder. Price may also be a concern for some, it is $28 for the small tube, but it also really seems like it will last forever because you need such a small amount. As a result I have mixed feelings about this product. I know many people rave about it and can't live without it but I just don't think it's anything special. At this point, I will stick with my Erase Paste to conceal my imperfections. I think Bare Minerals multi-tasking concealer is just as good, I also use that under my eyes, it totally brightens up tired eyes!
I have the amazing concealer as well... i kinda feel the same way as you.. I didn't get "amazing" results... it just works like my other concealers on me. and your right, it does crease.. even after being set... that was the first thing i noticed after my first time wearing it.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to keep using it though... maybe my feelings will change. I think maybe for someone who has really bad under eye circles this may work pretty good. looking at your before picture, your's are pretty minimal!
TKOmulatta, I am so glad there is someone else out there sharing my frustration with the Amazing Concealer, I seriously started believing there is something wrong with ME :) Now you're making me think twice, I wonder if I should keep it also and just make it work somehow? I was thinking my under eye area is bad, thanks for making me feel better girl! :)
ReplyDelete..you know I never ever used the concealer in my life but then I watched so many tutorials where girls use concealers I thought I must do something wrong and I need to get one to try , so I tried and looked 10 years older , like an dramatic theatre actress ..so I thought it's not for me and that concealer was horrible ..
ReplyDeleteI guess with concealers you need to have good product and good skills ..
Your make up always looks so perfect ..and you look really young and beautiful ..
