Maybelline Instant Age Eraser Dark Circle Concealer
Is that not the longest name you ever seen for a concealer or what? Up until a few years ago I never had under eye circles and I didn't even need under eye concealer. I always looked for concealer to cover up my acne and now that I finally (hopefully) gotten rid my acne I am now getting getting darkness under my eyes. Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer has been my holy grail under eye concealer for awhile but lately it's just not been opaque enough. I had heard a lot of rave reviews for this Maybelline concealer so I picked up a tube.
I have had great experiences with Maybellines concealers in the past so I had high expectations for this one. Luckily my expectations were met as this is one amazing concealer! At first I thought the concealer was a tad too pink but it adapted to my skintone and blended easily into my skin. Just a tiny bit of this concealer completely covers my undereye circles without looking cakey. Eraser Dark Circle Concealer feels comfortable and moisturising and lasts all day.
The only grip I have with this concealer is the packagaing as I don't think an attached sponge is very sanitary! I'm prone to eye infections so only time will tell if this becomes an issue for me. To use this concealer you turn the top of the tube and concealer comes through little holes underneath the sponge. When I first used this concealer I had to turn the top a lot until concealer started to come through. This hasn't been an issue since though. I'm willing to over look the packaging flaws of this concealer as the concealer itsel is amazing, especially for something affordable.
Availability: Shoppers Drug Mart ($12.99); it will be cheaper at Wal-Mart, Pharma Plus etc.

ReplyDeleteI love this concealer and the foundation is pretty good too!! The sponge applicator is said to be anti-microbial if that helps!!

I'm pretty curious about the foundation! Thank you that's good to know :)
DeleteI haven't seen this here but will have to look out for it. No foundations or concealers are working for me at the moment so I'm on the look out for new products. Great review :) xx
ReplyDeleteHopefully they do sell it over there :( I've heard good things about the clicky pen concealer by Maybelline too.
DeleteI have this and will have to give it a try when my wonderful Quo Mineral concealer runs out. Good to know it works!
ReplyDeleteIt's even paler than the Quo one too so it'll be perfect for you!
DeleteI really liked this but I realized that this creases like crazy in my under eye area, I use neutralizer and it is a very good match for my color though
ReplyDeleteAwww that's a shame :(
DeleteI was just saying that I need to try this -- I've heard nothing but positive reviews!
ReplyDeleteYou do need try it!
Deletethis is definitely on my wish list... i hate my dark circles :(
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't see any dark circles under your eyes! haha
Deletei've heard so many things on blogs/youtube about this concealer, it looks beautiful! i never tried it yet as I'm trying to use up some of my stuff but definitely would like to check it out!

I think you'll really love it Ariel!
DeleteHi darling, how are you, I've been away from blogging for what seems like an eternity (end of year exams) so I'm back and I said I'd pop over and say hello :) this looks lovely and you can really see the difference. I don't know if the sponge is a good idea from a hygiene point of view but other then that I have to agree and say it looks great and not too cakey or thick looking either..
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I'm glad to see you back blogging Sarah :)
Deleteaw thanks darling :) It's good to be back x
DeleteI've been hearing about this product for a long time now.. I really want to try it.. maybe after I finish my creamy concealer from Bobbi Brown.. I'll try this one!

I've tried the Bobbi Brown one and like this one better!
DeleteGlad you're loving this! The coverage looks great (natural, but makes a difference for sure) and nice to hear that it's long-lasting! xo

Yeah it's great, really recommened it!
DeleteI have so many of the same thoughts you have about this! At first I thought my light shade was too pink/dark, but after I blended, it was perfect. And I also wish the sponge was removable to wash. Gross! Dirty sponges!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your review Mel! I tried to take the sponge off and just got concealer everywhere lol.
DeleteI was thinking about this concealer as one for my under eye circles, since I have really bad under eye circles as well, after hearing great reviews too! Caking up and the shade of the concealer are my biggest issues with under eye concealers so it sounds like these two problems are not here for this one! I might give this a go if I'm going to buy an under eye concealer! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'd really like this then Emily :)
DeleteI forgot who it was, but I was watching a video tutorial, and I liked that this made fun squishy noises on application! lol Anyway, I remember the days I didn't need under eye concealer...miss those days very much...This is on my future to buy list, as I am trying to get a through a few concealers I have now, so its great to hear that you love it :)
ReplyDeletethis might be my next under eye concealer :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm I've heard great things about this concealer too, maybe i'll give it a go, looks great on you!

I have been using Garnier's dark eye concealer but I have been looking for another product since I don't think it's working too well. I have been blessed with nice skin... but terrible dark eyes. Will be giving this a buy for sure!
