Um, I don't know what leprechaun had to suffer to make this, but there's obviously magic involved.
Seriously, WTH?? I'm a little shocked. Okay, make that ALOT. Loreal has scored BIG with this Age Perfect Concealer with what I'm experiencing, so far. I'm including up CLOSE and personal pics I took after I used the concealer for the first time.
This is with my whole face done using only the concealer. NO FOUNDATION. The no makeup pic is so you can see what I'm working with. Fine lines, under-eye BAGS, wrinkles everywhere, areas with pore issues in my t-zone, and some serious redness to contend with. I use the "just concealer method" when I just want a light makeup day, and it gives me a true test of how a concealer wears. (Thank you YouTube & Wayne Goss for teaching the unteachable....)
I love how this concealer doesn't look dry or cakey in my fine lines and wrinkles. It doesn't make them disappear, obviously. They're still there.....this isn't voodoo/witchcraft magic. But usually I just skip the under eye area with most foundations and concealers because I think it makes them look worse and ages me more than if I just left them alone. When I was applying this one, well I got a little carried away and ended up with some in my under-eye area. So I figured since I wasn't leaving the house I would just apply it there and see if it acted like every other concealer, ever made, in the history of forever. OMG, it did NOT. It's very skin-like and moves WITH my skin. It reminds me very much of the Charlotte Tilbury Magic concealer. It also leaves a radiant finish. Think healthy glow not beaming/weird luminescence.
I lightly set it with powder, but I think I can get away with not setting it. It lasted ALL DAY. And it didn't just break apart horribly and migrate to the closest line or wrinkle to set up house with all it's friends and throw a party. It just kind of seemed to sink into my skin and disappear?? I don't know how else to describe it.
The coverage is a medium/high medium. Not quite full coverage (you might be able to build it to full, I didn't try to). I can still see some of the areas of more concentrated redness peeking through. I'm kind of excited to try this tomorrow with the foundation (I also loved that after I figured out how to tweak the application). Add in the fact that this is DRUG STORE prices and I'm just a little freaked out. Like, what if there's a shortage cause everyone loves it??? That makes me want to stockpile this, the foundation & the mascara (also amazing....I swear I don't work for L'oreal) so I'm fully prepared for that kind of thing. Ugh, this is how my brain works. Find something you love, you need to hoard it!!!!
Anyway, this is going on my short list of things worthy of being stockpiled. For under $10 I won't even feel guilty about it!!!!
