L.A. Girl Pro Conceal Hd Concealer, Creamy Beige

I can't believe this concealer is still around! I used it way back in high school, but I remember the quality was pretty bad, so I stopped using it. I'm now in my 30s, and I have been noticing dark spots under my eye bag area, so I've been on the hunt for a color corrector. Concealer is no longer enough, so I need something to neutralize these spots. The thing is that I'm super pale, so the standard pink is way too dark for me. I did my research and found that light pink is my best bet. L.A. Girl is one of the few brands that carries a light pink color corrector. And because I've never used a color corrector before, I figured that it made sense to start with this brand since it's cheap, so I don't have to worry about wasting product while I play around with it to see what application technique and product amount work best for me. To my surprise, it works really well! I applied it over my foundation and under concealer. At first, I thought it looked a bit dry and slightly patchy, but it looked amazing after using my setting spray. I even used a tiny bit under my eyes just because I wanted to see if it made a difference, and it did. My undereye area looks vibrant and brightened, but most important of all, it covers those pesky dark spots. I put it to the test over the weekend because I had events to go to and had my makeup on for 12+ hours at a time. It was extremely hot on one day, and I did sweat a little, but the color corrector did not budge. Everything remained intact and covered, so I'm officially sold. I love that it works well with high-end products (my primer is Tatcha, foundation is Dior, concealer is Giorgio Armani, and setting powder is Givenchy). I don't know if L.A. Girl changed their formula, but it seems that it significantly improved. What hasn't improved is the packaging. I don't mind the squeeze tube, but I feel like the applicator tip has got to go. I personally don't find the brush tip helpful or hygienic. I would prefer that it come with a plastic tip applicator so it's easy to keep it clean. I've been squeezing a bit on the back of my hand and then applying it with my fingers because applying it directly with the skinny little brush tip just doesn't make any sense to me. But other than that, it's a great product. I'm glad I decided to give L.A. Girl another chance.

I happen to like this better than some of the higher end concealers and keep coming back to it. It’s kind of hard to match your color on here though. I don’t think the color chart they have is very accurate. Some of the lighter colors appear quite dark on the reference. For example, I’m quite fair but I use the color “bisque”. On the chart though it appears quite dark. I’ve bought this previously in a store, so I happened to already know what color I use.. so if you’re not sure and between colors, I would go with the slightly darker shade than you would usually, since the colors show darker on the chart? I recommend using this after your skin care and a hydrating eye cream, maybe one with hyaluronic acid over one that’s oil based, because it can look a little dry if your skin isn’t prepped well. So hydrate your skin first. It’s quite a full coverage concealer so a little goes a long way. I personally like to set it with a light dusting of a translucent loose powder on a fluffy brush. Elf makes a pretty decent powder and affordable one. If your skin is more mature, after you’ve done the rest of your makeup, minus your mascara, use a hydrating setting spray and let it dry before you do your mascara as your last step. (my favorite setting spray is “Algenist splash” but it’s a little pricy. Heard elf makes a decent and affordable one too) also if you find it creases a little under your eyes, use a q-tip and gently swipe where it has settled and looks good as new! Hope this helps a little

MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING AND ITS THE WRONG COLOR BUT A GOOD PRODUCT

This brand is always affordable and amazing quality! Perfect shade of pink as advertised. It’s a pale pink with cool undertones which brightens well of that works with your specific undertone.

It's really white - and you need to use barely a pin head of liquid.

I tried this one at the same time as another color corrector with essentially the same results, so posting the same review (with an adjustment at the end for the applicator). I have excess facial melasma as a side effect from a required medication. I absolutely hate it and I'm always looking for a holy grail to help cover it. Unfortunately, this was not it. I need the peach color to offset the greyish-brown discoloration, but once you start blending it in, it only offers light coverage. If you build on it, it starts to get cakey, which doesn't help bc you have to cover it with foundation to cover the peach. I tried a single thicker layer, letting it sit before tapping it in, multiple lighter layers, multiple layers with setting spray in-between - no matter what I did, more layers did not mean more coverage. In the end, my best option was a single lightly blended layer. It offers minimal coverage, which is better than no coverage, and is better than foundation alone. This is a brush applicator where the liquid comes up through the brush. There's a bit of a delayed reaction, so the amount being dispensed was difficult to control. It also doesn't blend in like a makeup brush - it's more similar to a lip gloss brush applicator, so I found it more of a hindrance than a benefit.

Pretty good concealer for the price. It works well, I got this for a certain makeup look I was doing. Not oily at all, good coverage, very lightweight, and it lasts a pretty long time.

Love the product. The concealer offers all-day coverage. A great buy for the price.
