Another concealer review! This time the Makeup by Mario surrealskin awakening concealer in 160.
Website:
“A pro-performance, multi-use concealer that visibly lifts, blurs, and brightens the under eye and complexion for an awakened appearance with a natural, skin-like finish. This medium coverage, buildable formula conceals even the darkest undereye circles. Formulated with Lift & Lock™ technology, the caffeine-infused concealer depuffs, tightens, and smooths, while the self-setting formula locks it all in resulting in a lifted, awakened look. All 22 shades are crease-proof & long wearing.”
Coverage: medium, not buildable
Shades: 22. Weird range, 160 is wayyyy too light for me, but the next few darker shades are super dark and yellow. 160 is described as cool, but when I swatched this next to 8 other cool concealers, it stood out as quite yellow.
Price: $29
Texture: Creamy, in between thin and thick, super spreadable. From far away this does have a nice, soft matte finish, but then the concealer entirely sets down and made my eyes look dry and textured. This also has so much slip to it that it creases almost immediately. Check out the reviews on Sephora, they reflect my experience too :/
Sadly, this is a pass for me but if you’re looking for a new concealer, I love the new Live Tinted and Haus Labs.
