Mary Kay Concealer

I’m excited to do review on this product for two reasons:

1. Finally, a non-korean product to review

2. It works for me and for my sister!

I told you before that I got this as one of the items on my July haul because it was recommended by my sister (she’s on her 2^nd tube now). I know that some beauty bloggers, reader and makeup artist are always in a hunt for a good concealer and I would say that this one is worth a try. Continue reading to know why.

Box description:

For all skin-type. Dermatologist tested. Waterproof. Non comedogenic. Fragnace-free. Suitable for sensitive skin including skin around delicate eye area.

Long lasting. Lightweight. Creamy formula.

Net wt. 8.5 grams

Shade: Beige 2

 The packaging comes in a black tube like this. Yes, it is simple yet professional looking. Although, tube-type  is not the perfect choice of packaging for ME since I prefer a concealer with sponge tip applicator like the one in my Maybelline Mineral Concealer because it’s more convenient. But I’m sure if you’re a makeup artist, you would rather choose a packaging like this because tube type is more hygienic to use. 

Tip: It is quite thick in consistency so never use it directly in your undereyes. Use mixing plate in applying this. But since I don’t have one, I first put it on the back on my hands then blend it with my fingers or brush. 

Waterproof. Definitely! I tried the running water test and it is true! Perfect if you’re sweating a lot

Fragrance-free. It has a little scent from the tube (maybe, because of some ingredients) but has no scent when applied.

Suitable for sensitive skin including skin around delicate eye area. Yes, I agree! I use this as my undereye concealer

Long lasting. AMAZINGLY TRUE! It is long lasting even when use alone but I prefer setting it with a foundation/powder. (Use blending brush in setting your concealer to avoid it from caking).

It looks weird sometimes especially if I don’t retouch my face powder since all my other makeup were gone at the end of the day and this one is the only one left. Can you imagine how it looks like? That’s why I make sure to apply it very thinly in the morning so I don’t end up looking weird and uneven. 

Lighweight. Maybe not since the consistency is quite thick… but it’s definitely not heavy also. I would say it’s in between lightweight and heavy weight concealer.

It does not cake when use on my eyes. The coverage is good! Beige has this yellow undertone to it, perfect for covering flaws such as scars, black undereyes circles and blemishes.

Here’s some test using red and black ink. 

 See how well the coverage of the concealer.

And here’s a picture of my sister using the concealer on her scar.

 This is one of my sister’s best makeup buddies! She uses this to cover her scar from her surgery.

Pretty Amazing, huh?

Price: Php 395

Where to buy: Mary Kay resellers and online stores. 

Overall, I highly recommend this. 

Take note, I am not a reseller of Mary Kay and I purchased this using my own money.

So, if you’re still on your journey hunting for a good concealer you might want to try this one. If you already tried this one, feel free to comment down and let me know what you think about it.

NO MORE DARK UNDER EYE CIRCLES!

If there is one thing I always want to get rid of, it’s my dark undereye circles! I might not have the worst case of discoloration in the entire world, but, what the hell, it made me look 5 years older

I’ve search and read many articles on getting rid of my dark undereye circles, but none of it seems to work for me. And so, I ended my search for “getting rid of my undereye circles” for my own good. I get easily frustrated you know. BUT, this end marks the start of my new search... for CONCEALERS!

Right now, I have 6 concealers to cover my undereyes circles. Clinique All About eyes concealer, Elf all over cover stick, Maybelline mineral power concealer, Elf tone correcting, Ever bilena Studio stick foundation, Ellana cover in Awake. I will be reviewing these concealers soooon. For now, let me share you some tricks I’ve discovered in concealing my undereyes circles. Be ready! I took a lot of pictures for this! Enjoy and be amazed! (Fyi, I was amazed too and decided to make this post! LOL!)

First of all, of course, let me show you my eyes before concealing it.

Now, lets start concealing!

First, I make sure to apply primer/ moisturizer under my eyes. 

Next, I apply my Ever Bilena Studio Finish Foundation. 

I really like the consistency of this product. It's very creamy. And the coverage is soooooo good. I have this in shade CREME which is perfect for covering my undereyes circles. 

I notice that this sets on

 fine lines under my eyes, so I tried applying liquid concealer/ tone correcting on top of it. I use my Elf Tone Correcting Concealer

What I like about this product is doesn't sets on my fine lines. Though, it provides a sheer coverage. So I decided to use them together since Ever bilena tends to sets on my fine lines but provides good coverage while Elf Tone correcting provides sheer coverage but does a good job on myfine lines.

Lastly, because I want my concealer to stay longer. I sets this with powder. I use my Elf blending brush. 

When choosing a brush to do this job, it is important not to choose Concealer brush since it's flat and tends to make your undereyes look cakey. Concealer brush is best use in concealing blemishes but not for undereyes circles. Don't use flat concealer brush! 


And now, let me show you the amazing result!


SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
(ever bilena and tone correcting only)

Before and After 

See how the it conceals the discoloration in my eyes

With powder on top

If you're wondering, I bought that contact lenses at EO. I got it in color Hazel

With concealers on both eyes

I apply mascara. I use Avon Simply Pretty (btw, i like this, I'll be reviewing it soon)

Do my brows with Elf Eyebrow kit and apply Elianto StayOn Eyeliner on my water line

Hope this helps!

*I tried using Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer on top of Ever Bilena foundation. It works too but tends to be too heavy. But together, your concealer  will last longer in your eyes.
