Good concealers can sometimes carry high price tags, so when I heard there were a lot of positive reviews for some of the recent drug store concealer launches, I knew I had to review them! Today, I tested out the @covergirl TruBlend Undercover Concealer ($10.99 for .33 ounces at @ultabeauty – https://shopstyle.it/l/6U7Z).
What it claims:
🔘 Say bye to bags, dark circles and other skin imperfections with this lightweight concealer
🔘 The large, fluffy doe applicator ensures an easy, even application and the velvety, smooth formula leaves behind a matte finish that lasts all day
🔘 With 30 shades that match 99% of skin tones, it’s easy to find your perfect hue
My experience:
🔘 I applied it to my under eyes and down the center of my face and I blended it out with the same damp beauty sponge I used for foundation.
👍🏻 It is lightweight and has a medium coverage.
🔘 Because of the medium coverage (and my desire for a higher coverage), I applied a bit more product under my eyes after blending out the first layer.
👍🏻 It layered without looking heavy or cakey.
👎🏻 While I was getting my setting powder situated (around 30 seconds), I noticed that it had already settled into the fine lines under my eyes more than I experience with my current favorite concealers.
👎🏻 I was able to pat out the wrinkles and set it, but you could still see that the lines were slightly more defined than normal.
👍🏻 I have been wearing it for over four (4) hours so far and have experienced no fading or additional settling into any of my fine lines.
My verdict?
If you are looking for a concealer that blends out with ease, doesn’t feel overly heavy on the skin and provides a medium, but buildable coverage, this may be the exact product for you! I would, however, not recommend this to people with dry or substantially wrinkled under eyes. For me, I really like this concealer. It was easy to use and provided nearly everything I look for – especially a manageable price tag. I’ll continue to use it with a variety of foundations and powders and will update either in a favorites or empties post in the future.
If you use one, what is your favorite drug store concealer?
