I am a fan of the Hard Candy Glamoflauge heavy duty concealer so when I spotted this new dual ended concealer, I was intrigued to find out if it is as good as the original.
Packaging
- Dual ended concealer stick with a clear snap-on cap on each side. You twist on each end to retract the product. I think there's quite a generous amount of product.
- .184 oz or 5.2 g
Product
- I got the shade medium light and I think it works for my skin tone. One side is a cool toned medium light with a peach undertone and the other side is a warm toned medium light with a beige undertone. I thought it was genius incorporating the two.
- When I swatched the concealers, they both feel creamy on my hand but when applied to my face to conceal dark spots or scars, I find them a bit dry. I wouldn't recommend these for under eye concealing as they tug and pull the skin in that area.
- One thing that bothered me about the formula is that it doesn't set. So as I spot conceal and use a brush to blend it with my skin tone, the concealer would blend away, which defeats the purpose of concealing.
- Also because the formula doesn't set, it fades completely within a couple hours of wear.
Final Thought
I like the packaging but these concealers don't conceal the way a concealer should and blend away easily and doesn't last. The coverage is light to medium. I'm pretty disappointed in this product. Their Glamoflauge heavy duty concealer is way better.

ReplyDeleteMe too. Oh well :(
DeleteHow disappointing! I was hoping this would set and wear like the original--that stuff was pretty amazing. Oh well. :(
ReplyDeleteYeah I was pretty annoyed at how much it just blends away
DeleteOh...a disappointing product. The earlier hard candy concealer was great :-)

Thanks. Nowadays, I don't buy high end product as much. I find that some of budget friendly ones are just as good
