Benefit Confessions of a concealaholic review

After struggling to find a effective concealer for years I discovered Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic

When you need to cover up a blemish or dark circles, concealer can be one of the most vital makeup products known to man. For years I’ve strived to find a concealer that will hide dark circles and give me back an all over fair complexion. So far I’ve tried virtually every concealer going (well it feels that way anyway) and still can’t say I’m truly satisfied. They’re either too bright, too dark, just sink into your skin and simply disappear or make you look like a panda. So a couple of years back a friend recommended Benefit Boi-ing concealer. When I discovered this was available in Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic I couldn’t wait to try it.

So this brings me onto the current review of Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic. At £32.50 it’s a little pricey but it does include both shades of Boi-ing concealer (Boi-ing 1 and Boi-ing 2), That Gal brightening face primer, Erase paste, lemon aid and eye bright. This review is primarily about the Boi-ing shade 2 ladies so don’t get confused.

The saying less is more certainly applies when applying this concealer and after stroking the brush over once or twice you will have enough coverage for any darkness or blemishes. The result is surprisingly quite light and depending on whether you like that or not you can finish with powder on top.

Now there is a noticeable difference between the two photos (apart from the clothes of course) of a fresher look in the lower photo. You must take care when applying though as if you don’t rub it in properly you will end up with blobs of concealer all around your eye. The concealer does work well on covering up blemishes such as red marks too which I use it for but be warned it doesn’t stay on that long.

By about 5 a clock the product will have absorbed into your skin and you will have little coverage left so don’t forget to reapply.
