Hello IMBB Cuties. In continuation of my search for a Holy Grail foundation, the search also continues (or should I say “continued”) for my HG concealer. I consider concealers an important part of my daily makeup routine, mainly for the under-eye area. Since one is obviously not supposed to apply foundation to this area to cover dark circles, etc., a concealer does the job perfectly. However, I noticed that while applying my concealer, I had been using my fingertips to blend the same, leading to tugging and stretching of the delicate skin in the under-eye area. (Yes, I have a concealer brush, but I had lately been using cream concealers; hence I felt the need to even out the same with my fingertips!). For this reason, I had been looking for a concealer with a built-in brush applicator and that’s when Chambor Radiant Touch Up Concealer caught my fancy.
This concealer under review and also the other shades are meant for women with warm undertones. I checked out all 2 or 3 shades available, and liked the lightest shade 01, though at first the SA told me that it would not suit me since I have cool undertones, and even I agreed with her at first, but after swatching and blending the same, decided that I would buy it all the same. Reason : I am of late trying to neutralize my cool undertones and go a bit warmer in order to lend a hint of warmth to my facial makeup, and I like what I am doing. Nowadays, when I see earlier photos of myself with ‘Ivory’ and ‘Rose’-toned shades, I cannot help but thank the MUA who advised me to go warmer. (Just for reference, I have gone from NC20 to NW25).
Anyway, coming to this concealer, it comes in an outer hard plastic packaging, and the product comes in a pen-type navy blue casing. It has a ‘click-it’ knob at the end which enables the concealer to appear on the brush. Quite a few clicks are required before the first use, after which one or two clicks enable enough concealer to come on to the brush to cover both the under-eyes area. If you have more areas to conceal, then obviously you will need more product.

Let’s come to the Pros and Cons and see what is likeable/dislikeable about this concealer :
PROS OF CHAMBOR RADIANT TOUCH UP CONCEALER
• It has a smooth and creamy texture.
• Blends very well, with enough blending time to enable good coverage.
• No need for a separate brush to apply your concealer.
• Brush is very soft and smooth – doesn’t hurt the delicate skin around the eye area at all.
• Contains emollients, minerals and natural plant ingredients, such as vegetable oil and karite butter.
• Also contains hyaluronic acid (a key ingredient in most anti-wrinkle formulas).
• Pleasant, refreshing fragrance.
• Dries to a powder finish, yet doesn’t ever feel dry or stretchy on the skin.
• Doesn’t move on the skin or turn blotchy even after a few hours.
CONS OF CHAMBOR RADIANT TOUCH UP CONCEALER
• Quantity is a bit on the lesser side for the price – only 3 ml. (1 teaspoon=5 ml.)
• Should have had a choice of few more shades, including 1 or 2 lighter shades.
Verdict : A very good-quality cream-to-powder finish concealer which gives good, even coverage and the main plus point is the attached brush.
Rating : 4.75
I am definitely re-purchasing this concealer again as I love it immensely.

i have the chambor flowing lisptick, it has the exact same packaging…and i luv luv how it smells of shea butter :yahoo: will do a review perhaps….will definitely try this concealor now :woot:
naty you know i think i am not a huge fan of shea butter that is why all chambor products dont smell too great to me. I mean had you not told this i would have died thinking that there is some peerobleeem with my nose. :idk: :dumb:
:lol2: :lol2: :lol2: waise i don’t know if this concealor also smells of shea butter…shayad koi achi smell ho iski ratidoo jo tumhe pasand aa jaaye? :toothygrin:
hai na.. i must check this. :huh:
I too don’t like the smell of shea butter in some of their products. I once asked the SA about this smell, and she said it was shea butter smell. :stars:
Natasha, this concealer doesn’t smell of shea butter. :toothygrin:
i love it too..i bought it on the recommendation of a friend about 2 months ago and I must say I really really like it..I did buy the MAC also recently ‘cos i got tempted 🙂 so now I alternate between the 2..
Yes, Aruna, me too, I bought the MAC brush concealer too, haven’t used it as yet though. 😀
sabrina…im really liking this one…..n it will suit my warm skin tone as well…..i have tried the chambor kohl & lipstick…lipstick was gr8…but was not very happy with the kohl…. :))
You should give this a try, Dimpi, I’m sure you’ll like it. :))
sabrina i adore these brush on concealers. I had one from estee lauder and i finished using it till the end. I will def keep this one in mind. 🙂
Hi Rati…I too love this for the brush. I haven’t seen this type in any other drugstore brand…I know Oriflame had one like this but I don’t know if it’s still there. :)) :))

:thanks: very much, Nupur. I know you love concealers. :toothygrin:
hihi…yesh yesh…

I need a concealer badly & now I am confused between this one & colorbar pots :waaa:
would go for chambor just from a easy-to-use perspective..pots are avoidable..:)
also this wont be as opaque as the colorbar one. depends on what you are looking for. 🙂
thanks….i guess as a first time user , i should go for this
Hi Monika, I think this you might like this one if you are using concealer for the first time, as it would be easier to use. I’m dying to check out the Colorbar concealers asap….we hardly get new stuff from Colorbar here, even a lipstick I bought recently was expired. :pan:
Concealer with brush sounds great! no need to buy extra brush for application! I was eyeing colorbar concealer now got confused 🙁 I may try this one as colorbar comes in a pot and i definitely need a brush to apply it.. :thanks: for reveiwing it
I think you will like this Chambor concealer, Parita. 🙂
Thanks fr reviewing Sabrina! I love Chambor products! And I love the warm scent of their lip products too! This sounds great but I guess it doesn’t give full coverage. Nowadays I’m loving the Colorbar pencil form one..my MAC Select moisture cover is lying forgotten 😛
there u go and ravve abt colorbar pencil and i just dont seem to find it anywhere in blr :((…
Sabrina…i love chambor products…so will def check this out…am not sure abt finding a right shade though….
I wish they had more shade choices, Priya. I swatched on 2 or 3 different days before I bought the 01 shade. But do check these out. :))
Hi Ankita…you’re welcome. This gives medium coverage. :))
It looks so great and easy to use 😀 😀
Lets hope I can find my shade in this :))
Hi Ritika…you can definitely check this concealer out, it’s a good product. :))
