FINISH: Dewy & Luminous

Skip the eye cream with this eye serum-concealer hybrid product from Bare Minerals.

Thanks to its anti-ageing serum content, this concealer hybrid is both creamy and hydrating, light to wear and leaves a beautiful natural, dewy, ‘I just moisturised’ finish. Being super hydrating, you definitely don’t need to concern yourself with this looking cakey or sticking to dry flaky skin. This hero concealer by Bare Minerals applies smoothly with just a dot or two of product blended out under the eye for a sheer, seemless, luminous finish. And the added benefit? It stays put throughout the day!

While this is marketed as a ‘complete coverage’ concealer, I would say this Bare Minerals concealer is more of a medium coverage compared to the host of alternative ‘full’, or ‘complete’ coverage concealers on the market. This is ideal for those seeking a natural looking, light-weight under eye concealer as opposed to the opaque heavier finish of some other full coverage concealers. For those who prefer more coverage i.e. those who wish to block out their natural skin, pigmentation/discolouration issues etc., I find this product adds a beautiful natural yet luminous finish to the face when applied on top of another full(er) coverage concealer as per my tip in the blog intro.

The only downside I have found to this fabulous product is the very limited shade range and Bare Minerals would do well to consider widening its range to include the porcelain/alabaster skin toned and darker skin shades.

Want to look like you regularly enjoy 8 hours of sleep?….Hell yes!

Once applied, this non-creasing hybrid product from Trinny London looks like your skin but better. Not only that, but the Peptide Activator ingredient depuffs and can also reduce the blue red tones in under eye dark circles.

Both brightening and hydrating in one, thanks to the infusion of hyaluronic acid to boost moisture and soothe, this clever little pot of magic concealer-serum-in-one not only delivers hydration but with added Vitamin C, it also brightens and helps reduce the appearance of those dreaded dark circles.

Whilst this is not a concealer in the strict sense, this small pot packs a big punch with its skincare benefits for the under eye area, giving a second skin finish and going by all the reviews, loved by those who have tried it. (If you like the idea of a hybrid concealer serum, also check out the Bare Minerals Serum Concealer in this list.)
