Couple of weeks ago when I went to Rite Aid, I saw some new displays. One of them was Maybelline.
They came out with three primers and five concealers. Since I own so many primers, I passed on it. Trust me it was hard. I was really intrigued. I did pick up one concealer.
Where to purchase: drugstores, mass merchandiser, and online at maybelline.com
Price: $8.49 for 12 mL/ 0.4 fl oz
Made in USA
Description on the package:
* Camouflages imperfections and dark circles
* Full coverage, high resistance
* Undetectable finish
Thoughts: For years, I've been using concealers that are not really good. I had a mentally of trying to finish the ones I have. Plus, my skin wasn't that bad that needed a lot of coverage. For some odd reason, the last several months my skin has been acting up. Okay, I know it's hormonal. I needed coverage in daily basis. For that reason, I decided to try this product.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no scent whatsoever. Secondly, the consistency is on the creamy side. It makes it easy to use your fingers to dab the concealer. It does fall between the lines but with primer and foundation, it doesn't fall. It layers on top and leaves a smooth application. Plus, I also use my Face Blender/sponge to smooth out the concealer. Third, I'm not too sure about the other colors. The Light/Medium has a yellow base with slight salmon color. For that reason, it covers dark circles well and age spots. It also covers my redness around my nose and small zits. When it comes to big, red zit like my nose, it doesn't cover that well. I have to layer it several times. Lastly, I steal the concealer with powder. For that reason, it lasts all day. Best of all, it doesn't crease on me. In my opinion, this is great for normal to dry skin individuals like myself. For oily skin individuals, there might be slight creasing and not lasting all day.
Pros:
* Comes in 5 shades.
* Travel-friendly.
* Comes in a tube; sanitary safe.
* Great for yellow undertone.
* No scent.

* Good for acne.
* Great for normal to dry skin individuals.
* No creasing.
* Last all day.
Cons:
* The shades might not match all skin color.
* Takes effort to cover big, red zits.
Would repurchase: Yes.
