gone are the days when concealer came in three- four shades and thank goodness for that!
Mixing a few concelears to get your ideal shade, no thank you life is too short for such tasks.
Clinique Even Better Concealer currently comes in twelve shades soon to be thirteen
so I'm sure you'll agree that the shade range is pretty extensive
and hopefully most skin tones will be able to select a shade suitable for their needs.

Clinique Even Better Concealers come presented in little frosted glass jars
that have a screw on lid that prevents the product from drying out over time and extended use.
As much as I like the concealer I do have to say that it isn't exactly travel friendly due to the glass aspect,
I'm sure it will survive a bump or two no problem but you can not travel with this in your hand luggage
and if you are as accident prone as myself glass isn't always the best choice haha!
"Even Better Concealer blends perfectly into skin to camouflage dark spots and imperfections.
It visibly brightens skin over time with Vitamin-C actives.
The innovative formula is beautifully creamy and has high coverage to camouflage even the most pronounced dark spots and hyperpigmentation, without being dry or cakey.
The small frosted glass jar makes an easy application with a brush, sponge or fingertip."
As mentioned there is twelve shades available to purchase currently with another shade
joining the line up soon in the form of a shade called Orange.
The shade I have is Almond which is a fairly deep medium tan shade - it is listed in the medium category
but do keep in mind that Clinique shades run deep so go to your nearest counter

Had this not been a sample and purchased with my own money I would have went for a shade lighter
but fully blended into my skin this shade was passable and didn't oxidise throughout the day
to a deeper shade which is often the case with such products and my my skin type!

The texture of the Clinique Even Better Concealers has an almost mousse like texture to the touch
but smoothes down and glides on almost like a gel product.
I found it to be lightweight and very easy to blend over trouble spots without being cakey.
Yes this is marketed as a product for high pigmentation but it covers blemishes seamlessly
which is all I really use concealer for unless it is under the eyes which I don't really recommend this for,
of course you could apply it to the under eye area but I personally found it a little too thick for such purposes and thus uncomfortable as it is a high coverage product and intended for the face not the delicate eye area.
This product wears exceptionally well, it doesn't slide throughout the day and as mentioned it doesn't cake
nor did it cling to any dry patches, I can't really see any skin type having any difficulties with this concealer
and that includes those with sensitive skin as all Clinique products are allergen and scent free.
Have you tried this yet?

This sounds like I'm amazed at the shade selection.. Good on clinque for thinkin about different skin tones..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!
The shade selection is great isn't it :) yes I couldn't agree more time more brands stepped up their colour selections isn't it :)
DeleteI'd be lost without your reviews! Another faultless post!

Aww thank you :)
DeleteThat sounds brilliant! I am getting a bit fed up with having to mix my own concealer (partly due to the shade but also because I need high coverage) and the fact that Vitamin C is included means, in theory, this should work well to treat spots as well. Really wish I'd picked some up today now! Great review :) xx
ReplyDeleteMixing is such a pest isn't it :) ah never mind it's not a limited edition so you have plenty of time to pick one up :)
DeleteAh sounds like a great concealer for blemishes! But I am more on the best under eyes concealer hunt. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm on the same quest so I shall let you know if I find anything :)
Deletethis sounds great. I need a new concealer so will check this one out!x
ReplyDeleteI hope you do :) let me know how you get on :)
DeleteThis was a really interesting read! Shame it doesn't work too well for under the eyes but i'm interested in trying it out still! Covering blemishes seamlessly is very appealing :) xxo
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean but later in in the year there will be a version for under the eyes :) yes that is what this does best...really great stuff so it is :)
DeleteI really want to try this! x
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it :)
DeleteIt looks amazing
ReplyDeleteGutted it doesn't look best for under eyes!
ReplyDeletethebeautymist.blogspot.com
I know but later on in the year there is one being released just for that cause :)
DeleteI'm on the hunt for a good concealer, tempted by this!
ReplyDeletehttp://studsanddreams.blogspot.co.uk/
Give it a whirl :)
DeleteI really do need a good concealer and while I'm not a fan of Clinique's skincare I really ought to give their makeup another shot!
ReplyDeleteYou should :) I really like this concealer and adore their chubby's :)
DeleteIt looks like it blends perfectly! definitely going to give this a try :) thanks for the review x
ReplyDeletemore then welcome :) let me know how you get on :)
DeleteI already have this concealer and I love love love it!! :) Only thing I can mention is that I think it tend to dry out my skin a bit, therefore I will surgest that no one with dry skin use this!
ReplyDeleteBut all in all - the best concealer ever! It really conceals! :)
Oh no that sucks as it is listed as being suitable for dry-very dry skin types but thank you for letting me know :) and i'm glad you love it regardless :)
DeleteThank you for this review... I'm convinced :) and I love that they have a good shade selection. Being VERY yellow has proven to be a nightmare for me with both high street and high end brands for me, with the exception of Clinique x
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean :) I think you'll easily get a shade that suits you in this line :)
DeleteThat's great news - I didn't know about this product, yet. I definitely want to try it!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really nice, I'm happy with my Mac Studio Finish for now, but when that runs out I think i'll try either this or Benefit boing :)

great review! :) i'm thinking between this concealer or Lancome effacernes or Shiseido natural finish cream as my eye concealer. P.s. you mentioned that the clinique even better concealer, might dry out the eye area,but i do have oily undereye bags,so maybe that will help for both blemishes and eye area? What do you think? :)x
