When the weather is warm, I often find myself reaching for concealer a lot to spot conceal or to go for a natural makeup look where I only cover major imperfections with a concealer. Then I let the rest of my skin breathe freely. So today, I will review one of the concealers that I have been testing out. The concealer that I will review today is by the well-known drugstore brand, Maybelline. This is their Master Conceal Camouflaging Concealer.
Cost: This concealer is inexpensive. It costs $6-$8 apiece depending on where you buy it.
Ingredients: I love that this concealer contains glycerin and that it has a small ingredient list of around 20 ingredients. Since this concealer is not organic or mineral-based, I really appreciate this small ingredient list.
Smell: There is no smell.
Consistency: This concealer has a thick consistency.
Eye Area: This concealer reduces the appearance of dark circles, but it also looks patchy on the eye. This concealer settles into the lines underneath the eye, and it accentuates dry patches near the eye, so I do not recommend this concealer for the eye area.
Coverage: This concealer is full coverage. You will need to layer this concealer to reach full coverage though. This concealer gives great coverage when you use your finger to spot conceal, as well as when you use a beauty blender. However, I did get more coverage when I used a beauty blender compared to when I used my finger.
Fine Lines/Smile Lines: This concealer did not settle into my smile lines, so I think that this is an okay concealer for mature skin, but you should avoid applying it around the eye area.
Dry Skin: This is not a concealer for those with dry skin because even when I moisturized my skin beforehand, dryness was accentuated where I applied this concealer, which did not look good. Thus, this concealer is better for those with oily skin.
Final Thoughts: The Master Conceal Camouflaging Concealer is thick, so it may be a bit heavy for everyday wear, but it would work well for nights out or events. Also, if you mix this concealer with foundation and use it to spot conceal, it will give you a great full coverage look. The thick consistency would also make this a great concealer for wintertime.
Unfortunately, this concealer is not for everyone. I do not recommend this concealer for people with dry skin or for use around the eye area, but it should work well for those with oily skin.
