I recently placed a Sephora order and received a free sample of the Benefit Fakeup Hydrating Crease-Control Concealer in all 3 shades. For reference, I'm a MAC NC30/35 all over my face, but prefer to use a concealer that's a shade lighter than my skintone because it brightens up my under eye area. I currently mix my MAC Pro Longwear concealer in shades NW20 and NW25 to get a perfect shade for underneath my eyes. I find that the Benefit Fakeup concealer in Medium works perfectly with my skintone. It's not too dark or too light and still brightens up my under eye area. The consistency is thick, but not as thick as the MAC one and it does not feel heavy at all. When I use my Royal & Langnickel BX-45 brush in a tapping motion, it applies the product smoothly and blends effortlessly. Also, the Benefit concealer is so much more moisturizing and doesn't leave a cakey finish. I have very dark circles and I'm glad to report that it covered them up very well. I just bought the NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder (review coming up soon) and used it to set the Benefit concealer. It faded within 4 hours, but I'm not sure if it's due to the formula of the concealer or the setting powder that I used. Whenever I use my MAC concealer, I set it with my MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder and it lasts all day.

Have you tried the Benefit Fakeup Concealer, yet?
*This post contains affiliate links. Like I mentioned above, the Benefit concealer was a free sample that Sephora provided when I placed an online order with them, using my own funds.
I haven't tried the Benefit Fakeup Concealer yet, but I so want to! Those samples didn't last longer than a few hours I swear. :( And that's not a bad deal for that full size shadow/liner. I might need to go take a look at the site!
ReplyDeleteI tried the sample once n then used the rest of it for swatches. I love doing big swatches! =D

Wow, the concealer looks like it will actually be very nice! I should try more stuff by Benefit.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought their B.Right skincare line and loving the makeup remover for wiping away eyeshadow fall outs underneath my eyes, spf moisturizer, & exfoliating scrub. Stay tuned for a review! =D
