Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser: Concealer and Treatment
This product typically runs for $12.99 (CAD) in stores such as Walmart, Target, Shoppers etc. The packaging is quite simple with a sponge applicator which is definitely something that I don't see actually attached to a product very often. The tube contains 6.0 mL of concealer. The clear tube makes it easy to see how much product is left which is super helpful compared to products that are in packaging that is darker plastic. It has a rotating applicator. Meaning you kind of like twist it the top part near the sponge and the product comes up a smaller tube inside to the top of the sponge.
I start by applying the product in a V shape where my dark circles begin which is basically the under part of my inner eye. This concealer is hard to describe, its not a shear coverage but it is also not a heavy duty coverage either. A product like this is actually quite useful because you can create a coverage perfect for what you are looking for!! Personally, for my everyday makeup I typically apply one coat of the concealer and it is perfect. I will be honest, one coat does not cover every little thing underneath my eyes. But, if you are looking for a thicker coverage simply applying another coat will give you the full coverage you're looking for.
Next up, I blend the Dark Circle Eraser out with my finger tips in a back and forth patting motion. I have tried blending this out with my flattop kabuki as well as my beauty blender but personally, I find my finger is my best tool with this product! It gives a super even coverage and doesn't absorb like any product! The Dark Circle Eraser is a very creamy product, but it is not runny. Some concealers have a very liquidy consistency almost to the point where when you apply it it's like water. Luckily this product has a very nice consistency especially for the price!
This is a closeup shot of the eye I applied the Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser concealer to. By looking at the picture you can tell the one application does do an amazing job of covering and treating the actual darker part of my under eye. It almost neutralizes the purple tones. A few of my freckles are also peaking out through the product, which does not bother me but for those looking for a very full coverage you WILL need more than just one coat.
Finally, this is a shot of both of my eyes (obviously) one with the Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser (right) and one that has nothing applied (left). You can clearly notice the purpleness of my right eye is extremely neutralized compared to the purpleness of the left. The right under eye also looks a lot more even in a general sense. Notice that the skin appears around the same colour from the inner eye to the outer eye, which is definitely not the case for the left. This product is super reasonably priced at $12.99. If you are in the market for a new concealer give it a try!! I mean really you have nothing to lose, because I can guarantee you it will do something for your under eye circles, if not erase them totally it will at least neutralize the appearance of them!!
