Hi pals!
Today's post is a review on the LA Girl Cosmetics Pro Conceal High Definition Concealer. Wow that's a mouthful.
I had heard so many good things about this product from various other Bloggers, YouTuber's and Makeup Artists and had also heard that this was a good dupe for the Kat Von D lock it tattoo concealer (if not better), and it's a darn sight cheaper at the £4 mark, so naturally I had to try it out!
I got my concealers from a shop on Ebay, as you can't get LA Girl Cosmetics in the UK and all the US online shops wanted silly amounts for shipping. So if you're in the US then I'm guessing it's not too difficult to find for you, in the UK, try Ebay.
So first things first, the packaging. The packaging is super basic, it's a plastic squeezy tube with a nozzle on the end. In the nozzle there is a brush tip applicator, which is a nice touch as it makes the product really easy to apply and you can pin point areas to conceal with ease.
However, sanitisation wise, probably not the most hygienic thing ever. I must admit I don't use the brush applicator, I dispense some product onto the back of my hand or palette and then use my fingers or a brush to work it into the skin. The reason I do this is so I can use the products on my clients too without it being unsanitary. But if you're just using it on you, then using the brush is completely fine.
I ordered two colours (Creamy Beige - left and Natural - right) because I wasn't sure which one I would need. It turns out both of them are good for me: Creamy Beige for spot concealing when I am tanned or have fake tanned, and Natural when I'm not so tanned and for covering up dark circles under my eyes as it's more pinky toned.
The coverage of these bad boys is medium to a buildable full. When I first applied it I wasn't overly impressed, I thought it was a crappy medium coverage, if that. However I then applied another layer and WHABAM, dark circles... Gone! Spots... Gone!
For such good coverage, the product is surprisingly not too thick or cakey. It's definitely a thicker liquid concealer, but not so thick that it's unbearable. I found that if I applied the product under my eyes and then set with powder straight away then it didn't crease or settle into fine lines. Throughout the day I did notice a bit of creasing under the eyes, but for the most part, the concealer held up really well. I was super impressed.
I am going to say that this concealer is completely worth the money at around £4, I don't think you can do much better! And you get a fair amount of product for that price too... 8g! I think if you're thinking about getting the Kat Von D tattoo concealer, then maybe give this a try first. Save yourself some money!
I hope that this has been helpful guys! Thanks for reading.
