At long last Maybelline are finally launching their The Eraser Eye Perfect and Cover Concealer within the UK. I will admit that foundation of the same name did nothing for me so it did surprise me that Maybelline The Eraser Eye Perfect and Cover Concealer is held in such high regard stateside, nonetheless when this sample arrived in the post on Thursday morning I put it straight to the test!
Much like the foundation from the Maybelline Eraser line the The Eraser Eye Perfect and Cover Concealer comes in a typical plastic tube with a difference At the top instead of a dispenser we have a foam applicator that allows you to apply the concealer without the need of a brush. The idea is that the foam applicator blends the product seamlessly much like a foam beauty blender does. I have to agree that the little sponge does blend the concealer into the skin without compromising the coverage but I do worry that the foam applicator will be a breeding ground for germs and as it is attached to the product it will prove difficult to cleanse effectively.
At the moment I can only find this online via Superdrug which stocks three shades: Light, Medium and Nude. Speaking of Maybelline The Eraser Eye Perfect and Cover Concealer in Light it is a of course a pale neutral based shade that should be suitable for most light skin tones particularly as it is intended for under eye use. Technically speaking light is a smidgen too pale for me but for my under eye area I find the lighter shade is great to cover and highlight in one quick step.
I have used my mole as a reference point so you can see how well it covers.
In terms of coverage Maybelline The Eraser Eye Perfect and Cover Concealer is pretty decent, it glides on the under eye area with a hydrating and creamy texture that doesn't gather into any creases or fine lines.
In my opinion I would deem the coverage level of The Eraser Eye Perfect and Cover Concealer to be moderate, it will cover most dark circles and general signs of fatigue but if you suffer from extremely dark circles I don't think this is for you. However I do have to commend Maybelline as I have wore this for the last few days and have yet to have it crease on me - even in today's rare sunshine! You can of course use The Eraser Eye Perfect and Cover Concealer to conceal general blemishes which I do find it does rather well. As this is a light liquid textured concealer for the best wear time I highly suggest setting with a powder but as far as pocket friendly concealers go this is a great option but any tips on how to keep it some what sterile would be most appreciated.

Sounds fun, but i agree that cleaning the sponge could be tricky!

I was looking at this the other day, but America has a neutraliser (yellow) and a brightener (pink) which is for more extreme dark circles. I so wish we had those here, there's hardly any corrector type products in the UK!

ReplyDeleteI haven't heard many good reviews about this, sadly!
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't cover my dark circles so well but I've been using it as a cheekbone highlighter :)
ReplyDeleteThe applicator has a special antibacterial agent therefore it stays germ free. You havnt to wash it at all. I got the lght one from the states, i hope we get more shades as i would like the brightener. Its tacky under my eyes ,shame, but i might setting it with powder.x
