Hey guys! Today I have a review on Maybelline's Fit Me concealer which I have in the shade Medium. This concealer has been raved about by many and even claimed to be an almost dupe for the NARS Radiant Creamy concealer! Though I haven't tried that one (boy, would I love to!), I have established my thoughts on the more inexpensive offering.
Just in case it wasn't obvious enough that I was referencing Frozen, because reasons. Also, Elsa displaying the product with her usual flair ;) |
Swatched, blended |
The concealer is packaged in a nice slim and compact tube, however it is not the most robust. My friend's tube has started leaking and causing all sorts of trouble. Though I haven't experienced that yet (and hopefully won't), the tube can get a bit grubby, and concealer caking around the spouty-opening-thing. It has a very small doe-foot applicator though which holds a decent amount of product - I tend to wipe the it off on the edge of the tube - and its small size makes it quite precise and provides a very quick application.
Undoubtedly, this concealer has a very nice formula. It's a thin, creamy liquid consistency that works well in all areas of the face; from blemishes to bags. Unlike other concealers I've tried, this doesn't accentuate dry patches or areas of the face too badly - unless it's a particularly flaky spot. Similarly, it doesn't crease, look cakey or dry when used on the under eye area. Coverage wise, I'd say it's medium to full in the spectrum of concealers. I tend to apply and blend with the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease brush which sheers it out a little, but blends it quickly and seamlessly into the skin.When blended and patted into the skin, the coverage is much better. Either way it looks natural and light on the skin! The staying power is decent, lasting ten hour days with some fading and it can look a little dry in parts as time goes on, while it does stay reasonably well on oilier parts. Bear in mind I always set with a powder.
The Fit Me range of products boasts having shades for everyone - at least I think that's the idea. They do have a decent range of shades though, and with differing undertones. Medium seems to be a pretty good match for me, yellow toned and if anything a tad dark for some of my base products.
I do thoroughly enjoy this concealer and it has been a quick and easy product to use in the mornings. It's still probably not the best concealer I've ever tried (though I haven't tried many), but it will satisfy my desire for the NARS for the mean time! The Fit Me concealer retails for AUD$14.95.
Sounds very very good to me! I've tried liquid concealers from them before but here in Singapore it's the mineral line that has this sort of concealer product but it sounds the exact same. Thick, creamy and very well pigmented! The only problem I had was with the packaging over time, being messy and leaky like your friend experienced. We aren't so lucky here in singapore for some reason and maybelline has only usually 4-5 shades of foundation and 2 shades of concealer or bb cream. If you're tan or medium skin tone it's very hard to find foundation in our drugstores!
ReplyDeleteHopefully my packaging doesn't go all gross! That sucks :( I hate it when there isn't a decent range of shades available!
DeleteI ALMOST SPAT OUT MY WATERMELON WHEN I SAW THE TITLE OF THIS CROP ON BLOGLOVIN JFC. ELSA IS THE PERFECT TOUCH.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound promising though (imo), though I haven't tried my fair share of concealers ever either. I managed to pick up NARS over the weekend, maybe I'll eventually get around to picking this one up too!

Bahahahaaaaa glad you like it! I couldn't resist lols.
DeleteI'm excited to hear your thoughts on the Nars, and a comparison if you do manage to get both!
Thanks for the review! This was the next drug store concealer that I wanted to try and when I used the tester at Priceline, I felt like it was pretty thick - maybe because it has been opened/closed so many times & it might be an old one! Now I'm definitely gonna pick it up :)

You are welcome! It's not like, liquidy thin, but it's not pasty thick either - if you get what I'm saying? It's a nice texture :)
DeleteHmm, looks thinner than the NARS Creamy Concealer but I'll give it a go sometimes x
ReplyDeleteI haven't even checked out the texture of the NARS but will when I get the chance!
DeleteI have this, also in medium, and agree with your thoughts :) I really love the consistency and how well it works with the rest of my products. That said, im thinking of buying the nars concealer once ive finished the maybelline just to see how it fares.
ReplyDeleteYay! It is definitely a lovely concealer for the price but once it's within my budget, I'd love to try the NARS.
DeleteI watched frozen the other night and loved it! I want to watch it again!
ReplyDeleteanyway I might try out this concealer once my rimmel one runs out as this sounds really good.

Me too! I'm going to watch it again when I have more free time, it's such an adorable movie!
DeleteSounds pretty nice, especially for a drugstore concealer. Thanks for the review! Happy Monday! xo

It is really nice though like I said I have not tried my fair share of concealers!
DeleteHahaha love the frozen reference! I'm really intrigued to try this out, I might just get this once my collection one runs out x

Yay haha Frozen is just the bombdiggity :D
DeleteI picked up this concealer recently mainly because I was told it was a dupe for the NARS. I agree with your assessment and the price tag is definitely right :)
ReplyDeleteRowena @ rolala loves
Yup, it's a nice concealer on it's own let alone if it's a dupe or not.
DeleteHello lovely! Just replying to the comment you popped up on my blog, sorry for such a late response!! The Ulta3 Lip Paints aren't sticky at all, instead they have the same sort of feel as the Rimmel Apocalips :)
ReplyDeleteThis concealer is actually my favourite one! I have gone through at least four of them haha I wear the shade 20 Sand :) I'm also your newest follower, I love finding other Aussie bloggers!
Pop by and visit my blog Taken By Surprise! xx
Thanks for the reply and follow - though I think you already followed me by GFC a while ago :P
DeleteI'm actually not the hugest fan of the Apocalips anymore but I will still have a swatch of the lip paints!
thin and creamy - i like the sound of that! reminds me a lot of the bourjois concealer actually! am definitely adding this to my radar :)

Let me know what you think of it if you end up buying!
DeleteAaah my favourite concealer in the whole world! Glad you liked it xx
ReplyDeleteAww yay! I'm glad too!
DeleteI wouldn't say its a dupe for the nars one, because the creamy concealer is much thicker, more like the collection 2000 lasting perfection one! But this one is still good, since its thin I love to use it under my eyes!
ReplyDeleteThe Beauty Break
Yeah I thought the Nars would be thicker but I'm yet to check it out. It would probably have better pigmentation too.
DeleteI love this concealer, much better then the NARS!

You think so? That's good to hear, haha!
DeleteThis is currently my favorite concealer! I love the creaminess and how pigmented it really is.

I use this concealer everyday. It doesn't have a lot of coverage but it's just so easy to apply. Love the Frozen quote btw :D
