Hello~

This post will be about one of Maybelline's celebrated concealer (as of what I've seen ;P)

The tube

 As you can see...everything on the bottle is in Japanese. I guess it's more for Asian skin tone because there are 3 shades in the maybelline site but only 2 shades in Watson Malaysia and the rest of the place that I found. It retails for Rm21.05 but i got it for RM18 something during watsons sale. The other shade available in Malaysia (or Asia maybe) is 01 Beige. That's more lighter than 02 which can be used for highlighting too. Wanted to get that one as I had thought that it would be better to get something lighter than my dark under eye to conceal it but 02 was the only one available so what the heck. 

Wrist swatch

When I swatch it on my wrist, I thought it was a tad to dark but then I realised...my face is a bit darker than my wrists which looked like it have never seen the light of day. It looked okay when blended so I was happy. There was no adverse reaction..so on my face it went. 

Face swatch XD lol

I didn't really follow the instruction on dotting it then blending. I don't also usually apply like in the picture (I don't know why I did tha XD) gosh. I usually use the wand and apply 3 streaks making it look like a triangle under my eyes then blending it out. If it's around, I use my sponge but 90% of the time I use my ring finger to tap everything in place. :)

My verdict :)

I am totally in love with this concealer!

Much more than my MAC Studio Finish concealer (NW30) which is a bit dark for since I lost my tan some time ago.
This concealer is very long lasting and it covers my under eye darkness perfectly..I don't know if it fixed anything but I just find it really good at hiding the darkness. I have been searching high and low for a good concealer...aaaaaand I think I've found it. Bummer if they decide to stop producing it or something. I hope not. *touch wood*
However, it does get into the creases beneath my eyes after a while and to prevent that, I use a primer before applying the concealer. Works like magic :)

I have never really tried it for my dark spots or anything because I usually just let them be but I think it would be too liquidy for your spots though. Sometimes I just pat the extra that I have on my finger on the spot and it does reduce the pigmentation a bit. A bit.

So to sum it up, I was not disappointed with this product because I usually can't use maybelline products on my face because it makes my face oily so I'm glad this one turned out really well. Definitely will repurchase this. Maybe two so I can put one in my bag as backup. :D

Thanks for reading lovelies. See you guys soon :) Cheers~
