Why I'm In LOVE with this Concealer!




Can you spot the difference?
Eyes lifted, undereye darkness diminished.  And the best part is, this concealer costs Php200.00 only and I purchased this online and it gets shipped straight to my doorstep!

This concealer arrived together with the rest of my #AltheaMakeup and yet, this won a lot of votes from AMW friens for a full blown review when I tried this on IG stories for the first time.

There are a total of 4 shades to try, my perfect shade would be the 3rd shade called Honey.

Spots, panda eyes and other blemishes raining on your parade? Smooth over and cover them up with Althea's Flawless Creamy Concealer, a pigmented, blendable concealer that'll whisk them all away! This buildable formula is made with Aquaxyl to moisturize and improve the overall health of the skin, while its long-wearing properties ensure it stays on your face all day. You'll be looking and feeling great in no time! 

Packaging is straightforward and simple, it is my favorite concealer packaging of all time (and yes, I've mentioned it a couple of times on my blog and IG!)  


The doe foot applicator makes it super easy to spot conceal.  But, I did say this is inexpensive but keep in mind that if you are a concealer-holic, this will be gone in 2 weeks time or max of 3 weeks if you use it daily at max!  

As for me, I can stretch this to almost a month since I only use a few as pigmentation is quite good!

Swatch:
Top to Bottom: Lightest to darkest

Vanilla for me is extremely light making it perfect to be a highlight cream while Ginger and Honey would be great concealer/corrector shades for most Filipinas!  But, if you have darker complexion, hello and thank you MOCHA!  But a big tip for you, if you are fair but have extremely dark undereye circle, Mocha would be the safest bet as it has deeper orange huge making it the best corrector for dark circles.

For application technique, there's nothing much unusual to do but to just dab the concealer straight from tube to the area you want to conceal.  For the undereye area, 3 dots are enough!

You can either use a brush or sponge after the step above, as for me, I like to use my clean fingers and gently dab the product.  I usually do not recommend using fingers as it will leave an imprint from your fingers but because I like to "set" my concealer with powder, it doesn't matter!

Before and After

As stated earlier, Honey is my best bet and I actually repurchased even if I haven't finished the tube yet!  I like how creamy and easy it is to blend this product and it finishes off with a powder finish.  On some days, I can just rely on this and head out of my home.

As for longevity, it lasts longer when set with powder but without powder, it can still survive the whole day without sliding off and best of all, it does not sit on my lines and wrinkles!

Thank you Althea for creating such wonderful and inexpensive product for us to try and use.
