It was more full coverage than ELF but had the glide of the Nars concealer. Unlike the Mac Pro LongWear Concealer, it was a dream to blend. I adored the shiny finish - think glowy rather than glittery. I applied it to my chin, under-eye area, and right above my lips with the applicator brush, then let it sit for five minutes (another tip I picked up from Jackie) before dabbing it in with a beauty blender. As soon as the concealer touched my face I felt how creamy it was. (We share most of our makeup, so this act may not have been as generous as it appears.) Come New Year’s Eve, I applied the concealer for the first time. In the end, my sister bought it for me in “Maple” for Christmas. I already had several concealers left in my makeup bag and couldn’t convince myself to buy another one. But even though the Too Faced concealer kept following me, I said no. Even some of my closest girlfriends recommended the concealer to me. Soon after that, I saw Uche Natori using the concealer on Instagram. When watching a Jackie Aina video in November, I noticed that Jackie said she loved how high coverage the Too Faced concealer was, and that it gave her face a beautiful finish. So when my favourites recommend me something, I listen. But nothing seemed to give me that perfect finish.Īs a Black woman, beauty influencers are my go-to. Next, I used Nars, Fenty, and ELF - creamy, smooth, and cheap respectively. The liquid went on smooth, but after a few minutes it wouldn’t move. My sister who is five years older than me swore by this, so I followed suit. This product was my staple for a few years - I liked the colour and the full coverage - but I found the product hard to blend as it was extremely drying. The first concealer I used was Mac Pro LongWear Concealer. This means I want the concealer I use to be full coverage to cover up the rashes but creamy so it won’t make my skin drier than it already is. I’ve also recently found out that I have seborrheic dermatitis (a form of eczema). I have a few demands: I’m looking for something creamy and easy to blend, affordable and with a yellow undertone. And ever since I started experimenting with makeup at the age of 18, I’ve known the importance of choosing the right concealer: Nobody wants a dry under-eye from a product that creases too quickly. To put it succinctly: I’ll wear eyelashes for a games night via Zoom. When it comes to makeup my aesthetic is cute, everyday glam. Photo: Habiba wearing the concealer in shade ‘Maple’.
