Review: Benefit’s new Fake Up Under Eye Concealer

HIGH-RES

I have to admit I was really skeptical when this came out. Usually I’m not a fan of benefit cosmetics concealers or foundations, however I had to give this a try.
Lately my under eye area has been really dry and causing my normal makeup to crease.
So when benefit says this provides hydration without settling into my fine lines all day and conceals dark circles, I gave it a try.
I’ve worn it 3 days now and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. I defiantly notice that my under eye is hydrated and it so far has not slipped off all over my face. I do set my makeup with powder in the morning and touch up in the afternoon again with powder.
I like the cool clear gel surrounding the color part of the product. The packaging is adorable as always from benefit. The coverage is light to medium in my opinion with potential to build up, but I tend to use less under my eyes for fear of creasing and caking,
Over all the product seems to do what it claims, but I’m still not sure I would buy it again yet. I’ll have to use it for awhile longer before I can make up my mind. At $24 from Ulta it’s fairly priced. 

Concealer Review

My all time favorite concealer after I discovered it from a make up artist is Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer. It’s $32, but really lasts a long time and worth it. Other concealers tend to wear off as the day goes on and crease into the fine lines under my eyes where I use concealer the most. A little goes a long way and I apply it with a concealer brush. 

Before Hourglass I used Erase Paste from Benefit. While it did the job, it tends to be a bit heavy and would wear off by the end of the day or crease into the fine lines. It’s not as bad as some other concealers and it’s a decent enough product, I just won’t give up my hourglass one :-)
