Maybelline Fit me! Concealer - Review

Guyssssss I have to talk to you about this concealer. 

I know it's not new a new product, and so many Bloggers and YouTubers and God knows who else have raved about this already, but I just gotta. It's the concealer I reach for every day and I just know I'm going to love it for the longest time. 

Let's talk about formula.
It is suuuper creamy and blendable, so is excellent for underneath the eyes and highlighting the face. That is what I use it for. It has enough coverage to be amazing at this job, however not enough coverage to be a spot concealer (in my opinion). That being said, if ever there is a day that I don't need a heavy duty concealer and just want to even out some redness, then this concealer does the trick. I find this product blends the best when I use my fingers or a damp beauty sponge. My friend Lauren and I have an inside joke about how amazing this concealer applies when you swipe it under the eyes. So satisfying. Is that weird? Probably.

Maybelline VS Nars
So you've probably heard that this concealer has been compared to the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer maaannny, many times. I think this has A LOT to do with the similarities in the packaging but either way... let's talk about that. So formula wise they are completely different. In my opinion, the Nars concealer is quite dry and difficult to blend, but has amazing coverage for spot concealing. So if anything, these products are pretty much the complete opposite to one another. Need I mention the difference in price - Nars coming in at around the £22.00 mark and Maybelline at around £6.00.  I feel that there is no competition. If you're umm'ing and ahh'ing about which of the two to go for... Maybelline all the way.

The longevity of this product is also really good. A little goes a long way and it stays on well throughout the day. I don't find that this concealer creases any more than any other that I have tried... But it isn't crease proof in any way. Just make sure you set it well and you'll be fine.

In terms of colour range, they have a small but great selection to choose from - I believe there are 6 colours in total. They range from light to dark and cool to warm so you're guaranteed to find something for you.

I have repurchased this product many times already and just know that I will continue to do so. If I could recommend a concealer from the drugstore it would honestly be this one. Or the Collection one that everyone loves. They are just such good value for money. I really feel that there is no need to splash out on the Nars one, unless you really want to. It is still a great concealer but there are definitely fabulous cheaper alternatives.

Thank you for reading guys, I hope this was helpful. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions in the comments section below.
