For some of us, concealer is the go to buddy to cover up our blemishes and get rid of dark circles under our eyes because sometimes foundation just isn't enough. Concealer comes in all kinds of tubes and jars, but I prefer a stick. It's handy and does not make a big mess, in fact, it becomes a very simple and quick touch up to do rather than a whole process. One thing to remember is that concealer can go on before OR after your foundation...there is no set rule! Whatever works better for you is what you should stick to.
I have always used MAC concealer sticks since they were so convenient and easy to apply, but paying $15.50 every time I needed to get a back up was getting a little too expensive. I found AVON Ideal Shade Concealer stick online and gave it a try and have been using it ever since. It cost's $6.00, which is 1/3 of the price of the MAC concealer and I would totally compare them to one another...in fact the MAC concealer is a little too cakey for me. MAC stopped making the concealer stick, which is so inconvenient for people who liked the quick and easy application of a stick. Now they made a foundation in a stick form, but it costs $29!
AVON's concealer is much lighter and smoother and does not have that waxy feel you get with most concealers. It goes on smooth with a very soft feeling and does not dry out and cake onto your skin. It is not runny like liquid concealers and you don't have to wait for it to dry. It is like a stick that is in between liquid and solid.
The shade I chose was "Neutral".
The packaging looks just like the MAC tube!
Avon Concealer Stick - $6.00
MAC Concealer Stick - $15.50

ReplyDeleteI bought this from your mom, love it. Thanks
ReplyDeletethanks for the review! I'm always on da look out for good concealers <3
ReplyDeleteI bought this and though you are right about the coverage, I found it too dry. Sad! I warm it up on my finger then apply because I felt like it was tugging my eyes, eek. Also I think I need to get a shade darker.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm a rep too.. They do have some new & awesome stuff.. Love the Mark as well. Can't wait for your haul!
ReplyDeleteit looks very similar to the mac!!!
ReplyDeletethe concealer stick seems to be good. I don't think I have seen it in the german avon brochure though.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on the 2nd place in laalaa's contest :)
Wow, LatinMinx thats crazy that it tugs on your skin. I never had that problem...you think maybe you got a defective tube? I'd let them know, maybe they can exchange it for you!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe they changed their formulation recently...Ive only been using this concealer for the past 2 months.
