Essence Stay Natural Concealer Review

Okay so I was in search of a good concealer and I specifically wanted to try this one out.
                                                                                                                                                                  Description:
the natural nuances of this concealer make this concealer so popular. its tried-and-tested texture contains vitamin a and is easy to apply accurately thanks to the soft brush. this way, skin imperfections and dark circles under your eyes are perfectly concealed.

It comes in four shades:
01 soft beige
02 soft sand
03 soft nude
04 soft honey

I got myself shade 4 as it was yellow based and i found it to be closest to my skin tone.

The pen looks like this when uncapped for the first time.
You have to rotate the back of the pen for the product to come out. Honestly, the product does not come out efficiently. In fact, the first time it took me something like three minutes of rotating the pen for the concealer to show on the bristles and I was worried I had wasted my money on this. When I got this I had been staying up a lot more than I had been sleeping so I had pretty bad dark circles around my eyes and I have to tell you this, it does NOT cover dark circles completely. I also have a lot of blemishes on my face which it did cover to a great extent although I noticed that it settled in the lines under my eyes in about an hour and a half but then my eye area is very oily and if you have dry or normal skin it might work for you. I am generally happy with what this concealer has to offer. Oh and it works as a highlighter as well which is really nice. Just make sure not to use too much and blend it in otherwise it shows where you have applied it on your face.

Essence Stay Natural Concealer can also be purchased online at just4girls.pk for Rs 350.

What you may like about this:
  • travel-friendly
  • neat application
  • conceals blemishes, dark spots and discoloration
  • makes your skin look fresh and more awake
  • soft bristles of the application brush
  • can also be used as a highlighter

    What you may not like about this:
    • A little too pricey for only 1.5 ml
    • sheer coverage
    • does not conceal dark circles completely
    • wasted product on the brush that you have to squeeze out
    • settles in fine lines if you have oily skin
    • oily skin types may feel the need to touch up with setting powder

    Verdict: 3/5
