Innisfree Mineral Essential Concealer Review



Concealer is one makeup product I've been "hitting the pan" so fast I literally had to stock on different brands.  

I have my favorites, but I try my best to purchase different brands so I can review them for you!  Thankfully, my favorite K-cosmetics online shopping site Althea has a couple of concealer brands and if you watched my stories, I've shared my initial thoughts when I got my order a few weeks back.

Gentle application & moist coverage This liquid concealer formulated with essential ingredients for skin care is gently applied and clearly covers skin imperfections while leaving the skin moist. 
Formula with Jeju green tea for hydrating care Formula with Jeju green tea provides fresh moisture for dry skin areas such as below the eyes and cheeks.

On Althea website only shade 03 True Beige was left, I personally think 03 shade is perfect for my undereye circles but for the sake of picking different shades, I went for 2 and I was right, this is a bit light on me so it works better as a  highlighter as opposed to being a concealer.

This particular shade would work well on users with fair complexion!  It has a cool undertone.

Application Technique:
I like to apply 3-4 dots directly from applicator to my clean, moisturized eyes.  It is very important that your eyes are hydrated at this point to prevent creasing.

Using clean fingers or brush or sponge, gently dab away until everything looks seamless.  The Innisfree Mineral Essential Concealer gives light to light medium coverage.  If you want more coverage, you may add more product but I felt like 3-4 dots is enough for one area to prevent creasing.

AMW says ---
  • This is a great light coverage concealer perfect for everyday use as it is lightweight and you don't feel like you have makeup on.
  • The applicator and packaging is perfect for travel.  So easy to tote-along and easy for retouching.
  • The product dries off matte.  It is long-lasting if set properly.
  • Shade 2 gives additional highlighting effect but won't totally cover undereye darkness due to shade issues.
  • I prefer mediumt o heavy coverage for undereye concealers and I find this to be "not enough".  I prefer to use a light corrector underneath then top this for a natural and bright undereye area.
  • Will crease midday if skin is dry and not hydrated properly.
  • 5mg product which won't last a month if you use this on a daily basis.  But considering the price, it's okay!
For the price, I think it's worth giving this a try!  I love the texture, I love how the product does not give me allergic reaction and I love how easy it is to use this product especially if you're in a rush!  

How do you like Innisfree Mineral Essential Concealer on me?
Will you purchase one for the price?
