Review: Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer

I first saw the Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer on dulcecandy's youtube video and she was raving about how good the concealer was! 

Of course I was stoked! I'm the concealer-holic girl - I don't step out of the house without concealer applied because the atrocity underneath is too much for others to handle. So, hey! I'm doing them a favour!

This retails at Watsons for under 20 bucks. 

I especially like products that try to be more skin-friendly by adding minerals, vitamins or other goodness for the skin!

This concealer has a slightly runnier consistency than normal liquid concealer. I'm definitely not used to it because I'm accustomed to the thick consistency of cream concealers.

Because it is so runny, it doesn't really conceal very well. I would say this would be a fantastic concealer for girls that experience no acne problems on their skin and only have redness that they have to conceal. For those looking for a heavy-duty concealer that covers spots and breakouts properly, you might want to give Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer a skip.

This concealer is definitely a no-no for me. I have acne scars and so I DEFINITELY need to cover them up to look ultra fabulous. All this does, is give the ever so slightest coverage - even a BB Cream covers more than this concealer.

However, I realised this is really good for under eye circles. It's a runny concealer, hence it blends out really really easily - no tugging and pulling the sensitive under-eye area!

Will I buy this again?

• Nope...well perhaps unless my skin miraculously clears up or something, because I'm quite sure the micro-minerals do some good to my skin right? Right now, it's just collecting dust in my cosmetics cabinet, I tossed it aside right after 2 usages. Oh dear.
