Review on πŸ’« Maybelline Facestudio Master Conceal Makeup: Light, 0.4 fl. oz. - Perfect Coverage & Flawless Finish by Christy Wood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Purchase multiple shades to mix. Doesn't stick but dries darker

This is my new favorite concealer and I'm glad it's so much cheaper than the last one I've used. some years. I originally ordered the 'Light' shade online based on product photos, but decided to test the product at a local store while waiting for Revain to ship. Although the shade appeared quite dark in the product photos, the light/medium shade looked more similar to my own complexion when I viewed the tubes in person. I bought and tried on the light/medium shade but while it looked good when applied, it dries a lot darker! I was glad that the light shade I originally ordered actually works better on my medium complexion to hide my under-eye circles, but it still dries out a little darker than I wanted in some areas. I then bought the shade Vibrant and mixed a pink shade over a lighter shade to finally get the desired result under my eyes. While you should generally avoid the mistake of using a shade that's too light for your under-eye circles, I had to lighten them up with this particular product, which dries darker and then can look flawless and non-sticky when applied with a good concealer brush and mixed finishing powder. I am uploading a photo of the shading on my arm but the actual shading looks a bit pink. You can see them darken as they are blended at the base, allowing you to purchase multiple shades to best suit your complexion. I'm glad I tried all three shades and now use the darker light/mid shade for subtle contouring around the nose and the lighter shades for shading and highlighting. I love that squeeze tubes stay hygienic unlike palette products, but you can use a small container (small travel jar, contact lens case, etc.) to mix and not waste a drop of product every time you use it. For the price I give 5 stars mainly because it doesn't wrinkle and doesn't cause milia around the eyes.

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
