Review: Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer 

I bought the Rimmel Match Perfection concealer after reading a blog post about it on Sara Hassan's Blog. I'd just had a bad experience with the Lucious concealer, and I hoped this one would work better for me. Thankfully, I did not have to go rushing to the store again like I did last time

It is the best concealer I have used so far, and the cheapest one as well (that's always a plus point).There are only three shades to choose from, but that is because the concealer adapts to your skin color, hence the name Match Perfection.This concealer manages to cover and high light the under eye area beautifully. It brightens the under eye area, and makes me look like I've had a good nights sleep on days when I haven't. I do notice the purple tones peaking through the concealer sometimes, but it's just a teensy bit.

The texture is quite thick and I don't have to make an effort to blend it in. I have used both a concealer brush and my fingers for blending it, and I find that it blends better with the a concealer brush. I personally don't like using it with the brush tip it comes with. 
I  don't need to set it with powder, because on the days when I have, it looked a little powdery (so I've been told). That is when I stopped setting it. Not setting it did not effect it's longevity though, for me it still lasts an entire day. The weather has been getting warmer and I've had no problem with it melting or creasing.

To be honest, I don't have a problematic skin and I haven't had a chance to use it to cover any blemishes. It can be used to cover redness around the nose, and tiny spots/blemishes. I think it is designed to cover the under eye rather than spots because it is a high lighting concealer.

I've used it for a month and a half now, and I'm half way through it. A little goes a long way when it comes to this concealer, but I still wish the tube was bigger or had more product in it. Also, with the brush tip it can get a little messy. Sometimes a lot of the product squirts through and it not only makes the top half of the tube  all goopy and messy but it makes the inside of the cap messy as well.


Without concealer:
I didn't realize the sun was behind me. Despite the scary picture you can tell I have crazy dark circles.

 With concealer:
This picture isn't that great either, but you get the point, right?
I'm glad I found a concealer that I love and I shall definitely be purchasing this again. Have you tried this concealer?

Price: Rs575
