Bobbi Brown | Concealer Kit Review & Swatches

in 'Ivory'




 
If you have seen any of my other posts you will know I have the worse dark circles under my eyes and no amount of sleep gets rid of them (thanks mum!)
I thought this was quite an expensive concealer @ £24 for such a little pot but I decided to take the plunge and buy it as the reviews I read were mostly positive.
When i first got this concealer and tried it for the first time I really didn't like it, it seemed so solid and hard to blend in. After a few uses it seemed to become a bit softer and easier to spread/pat around. I now love love love this concealer, I think it even kicks the MAC moisture covers ass (my former HG concealer for dark circles). It so creamy and dewy but not cakey, although it can settle in fine lines a little and it doesn't last all day but i don't think many concealers do last if you don't set them with a powder. I also apply this after my foundation as its easier to apply and adds a little bit extra coverage.
 It has a much thicker consistency than the moisture cover and the coverage is amazing it really does cover them up. It's not actually as thick as I was expecting, it is a high coverage concealer but its similar to the collection 2000 concealer but dewier and not drying.

On Bobbi's website she says to use the corrector first and then this over the top, I'm really tempted to try this to see if there is any improvement.
 
I got this in ivory and it was a total guess off of the Debenhams website but it seems like a good match (I'm usually a NC20 in MAC concealers/foundations) so i had a bit of luck there! It comes with a setting powder too but I don't use this all the time if I'm honest as it is quite drying for under the eyes.
I know some people hate this as it is so thick but personally I love it!

Whats your favourite concealer for under the eyes?
