If there’s one thing I’d like to take with me to a deserted island, concealer would be it! Being a working woman, I use concealer religiously because I believe that nothing makes you look tired and older than dark shadows under your eyes.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Medium

My thoughts
On lazy days, I just conceal, put on my mascara and finish the look with some color on my lips. I’ve been very loyal to Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer for about a year. Along with that, I have also experimented with few others that failed to impress me much. I thought, I’d never find anything better than Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer but after trying this one, I can say it’s certainly up to par.

Lasting Perfection Concealer in Medium is a good match for my NC30 skin tone. It comes in just four shades; I don’t think there is anything suitable for tawny to deep brown skin tone in this range. In my opinion, it’s a medium to full coverage concealer that hides spots/blemishes and dark circles impeccably.

The consistency of the product is non-runny, creamy and sets to a powdery finish that looks absolutely natural. But if you layer too much, it will cake up and ruin the look. The coverage is SO good that it doesn’t require any building. I don’t have acne issues but because it’s very opaque, I assume it would cover them pretty well.  In my case, I find it quite pigmented and it covers any spot on my face in just one swipe. I put tiny amount of it with its applicator and blend it with my finger using light dabbing motion. For my dark circles, I rely on my Sigma Precision Round P86 brush. Since it dries immediately, you should blend it quickly and use it on one area at a time (if you're hiding your blemishes).

This concealer manages to stay put for good seven to eight hours on me which is indeed impressive. It doesn’t crease, transfer or settle into the fine lines however, I would advise moisturizing the under eye area if it’s dry. The packaging is plain, there’s nothing attractive about it but for me it’s a winner. If you ask me, I'd say I like it better than Match Perfection Concealer because of its ease of use. Match Perfection comes in tube form which is a bit hard to handle.

Overall, this product works for me. I’ve stocked an extra (revealing soon in my upcoming haul post) because I’ve already finished half of it – I simply love it! I would’ve rated it five on five if the shade range wasn’t too narrow.

You might like it if…

• You expect medium to full coverage.
• You have combination to oily skin.
• You want a concealer that doesn’t budge.
• You expect it to hide dark circles/spots effectively.

You might not like it if…

• You have dry skin and you don’t moisturize.
• You can’t find your match.
