There are 4 makeup products I always wear before I head out of the door:
- mascara
- lipgloss
- blush
- CONCEALER
Concealer being one of the most important products that keeps me from looking like the cat dragged me out of bed. Dark circles and blotchy red spots can ruin a face no matter what other makeup you have on. So I’m always on the lookout for a new super duper concealer that is actually going to stay on throughout my busy hot days during the spring and summer. And thanks to my lovely mother who is always ahead of the game in trying out the latest and greatest beauty products and then passing that info onto me, she introduced me to Maybelline’s SuperStay 24 Hour concealer ($7). Big thanks Mom- I knew I got my passion for beauty products from you!!
Now let me preface this 24 hour description as not being quite correct- I’d say more like 6-8 hours is more like it, but hey, that’s pretty good for a drugstore brand. I found this stuff doesn’t settle into fine lines around the eyes like some color stay products do and it’s dry enough that it really stays put where you put it!! The color choices are limited, but I mix the lightest and next lightest one offered (ivory and light) and it matches my skin tone perfectly. Check out my photo above which shows my left eye with no concealer (the one on your right!) and the right one with concealer already applied. Pretty perfect match huh?
So if you’re in the market for a new long lasting concealer, I’d definitely give it two manicured thumbs up! **And for extra staying power, always set your concealer with a little translucent powder right on top.**
