L’Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer Review
If the beauty consensus is to be taken seriously, almost 3 in 5 women everywhere suffer from dark under eye circles and I have had this love affair with them since eons now 🙁 These days while going out, I may go all bare faced, but I don’t forget my concealer (I know….SAD!!!)
While roaming around CVS a few months back, I saw this on display and my mind was like “OMG a dupe for the YSL. yayy”
Product Description:
Studio Secrets Magic Lumi Concealer highlights contours while playing down imperfections, Instantly enlightens shadows and dark circles and illuminates corners and brows for a wide-awake effect.
Cost:
$11.99 (all drugstores).
My Experience with L’Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer:
It is a lovely rose gold pen type tube with a twisty bottom and a brush top that dispenses the product. I bought it in the shade “medium.” I normally like my MAC prolong wear concealer, but it can be a hassle when you have to “come down in 15 minutes, be quick!!!” you know what I mean!
Texture wise, it is more liquid and one can easily go overboard with it. I generally use it under my eyes because it is too thin to be used to cover blemishes. I blend it either with my ring finger or a fluffy eye brush. Although it does its job well, I cannot help but wonder that this works more like a highlighter.
It brightens the area more than covering it, so on days, when my dark circles are really dark and dull, it gives me gray cast. Also, I need to use a moisturizer before as I have noticed sometimes it sinks in those fine lines. Not one of my favourite products, but I like that it is effortless and saves me time.
Summing up:
Pros of L’Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer:
- Really easy to apply.
- Travel friendly.
- Highlights better than camouflages (is that a pro or a con??)
- Relatively easy on the pocket.
Cons of L’Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer:
- Since every brand and their mothers are making similar concealers, this is very dupable 😛
- In my opinion, its just good for touch-ups and going to the beach and stuff; not for picture days and functions where you want to look perfect!
- Settles in fine lines.
- Sometimes gives a gray cast. You tell me, how does it look in the pictures???
Verdict:
L’Oreal advertises well, so like me, anyone can get excited for this product. Try it if you want something shiny in your purse.
