Maybelline FitMe Concealer

Swatched

Blended in 

This is a concealer I have been using for a very long time now, and that is purely down to the quality of the product. To begin with, I tend to find it quite difficult finding a concealer that isn't to dry and that stays all day on my skin; I won't lie this concealer doesn't last all day but it does last a lot longer than most others I have tried on my skin and with a bit of re-powdering throughout the day to keep it in place this product does a decent job at keeping my covered throughout long days. The one major thing I love about this product is that it isn't at all drying; I have quite a lot of dry patches on my face and especially around spots or blemishes when I get them, so the fact that this concealer so emphasise those or cling to them is perfect. It's part of Maybelline's FitMe range which means it is one of an impressive range of shades made to match the tone of your skin as closely as possible, I have to say the colour match is pretty perfect and that is one other thing I struggle with when looking for a concealer as I am so pale! It is also not orangey at all, even when built up. In the pictures it does show up a bit dark and slightly orange toned, however in person I assure you it is not. I find this doesn't have amazing coverage however it can be built up without going cakey which makes up for that. 
I have also heard that this is claimed to be a drugstore dupe for Nars Creamy Concealer, I haven't tried that so I can't give a comparison but if that's true then it saves a hell of a lot of money!

A few down sides to this product is that just like the Collection Lasting Perfection packaging the writing has rubbed off, as you can see in the pictures (it has rubbed off a lot more since these pictures, almost totally), which is a little irritating although nothing drastic. Also I have found that the concealer can build up around the top and over time this can get squeezed out when being twisted shut, so I would suggest when (and if) you also notice this that you just clean it off so that it doesn't get all over your makeup bag and it's content. We all know how irritating that can be! 

Overall I think this is a brilliant concealer and very affordable; even though it may not be perfect in every way it does everything I need it to and I will definitely repurchase this when it runs out.

Thanks for reading, it feels so good to have a post up again that is not on a Sunday! I will definitely be drafting some more this week so that I can post them even if I am to busy to be writing them :)
