Bobbi Brown is a very classic makeup brand known for its no makeup makeup look approach. Unfortunately for me, most of their products are targeted towards dry/ mature skin. All the foundations I’ve ever tried from this brand have turned a hot mess on me due to my extremely oily skin.
So the other day I was walking past the store in Dubai Mall when I saw the entire store was on 25% off so naturally I had to go in and look around for myself. I got a couple of things including the newly launched Full Cover Concealer. This is apparently the first full cover concealer by the brand. Since I’m a sucker for ANYTHING that says full cover, I picked this baby up.
The Instant Full Cover concealer has a fairly thick formula in my opinion. The concealer applies nicely, however, although, strangely, when I am applying this relatively new tube of concealer – using the doe-foot applicator, it feels as though it is nearly empty. I guess, this product just doesn’t like to come out and apply excessively, which is good in a way as you don’t actually need to apply loads of this pigmented, creamy, gel-like formula for it to make a difference and actually work.
Coverage wise, I can’t say that I agree with the description of this product entirely as I don’t personally find this concealer to give my complexion a full coverage finish. After blending in this concealer with my BeautyBlender, I find my under-eyes are definitely brighter and more awake looking.
Here’s my problem with this concealer, it doesn’t quite completely set because it’s just too greasy and emollient . I baked my under eyes as always after application but the powder grabbed on to the product and my under eyes started looking patchy. I don’t think this is a bad product but if you have oily skin and want a full cover concealer, then this is not the product for you.
Available at: Bobbi Brown for $30
