LA Girl HD Pro Concealer

I purchased this product as an under eye concealer however it was sadly disappointing and I regret purchasing it. I found the brush at the end of the tube hard to use and was very course and harsh on the under eye area, and area which i like to be very gentle. I found the product very thick and hard to blend, however didn't find it had particularly good coverage despite the thick consistency. The product was inexpensive so I was not too bothered, but will not be purchasing it again.

About 6 months ago I saw this product for $1 and thought why not try this out..I was super surprised at how well this looked on the skin. The texture of the concealer is creamy and it is super build-able. I got a shade a bit too light for my skin so it works amazing for an undereye brightener and highlighter for your face. I also have one in a shade abit darker and it's perfect for contouring! These are amazing affordable products that can be used to contour, conceal blemishes and for everyday use!

I've had this concealer for about 6months now, but only in the last few weeks have I realised how much I enjoy it. I really dislike the applicator, you have to squeeze super hard to get any product out, so I wasn't using it very often for fear of it squirting all over my clothes (which did happen!). However, I recently depotted the 2 colours I own in to little tubs, and am now using it daily!

Both the tubes I received have a very gritty formula, like pieces of pigment haven't been blended properly. Every time I use it I have to put it on the back of my hand, blend it with my finger, and then apply to my face, otherwise you end up with white grittiness on your face.

Once you do this though, it applies beautifully, has a somewhat satin finish and lasts all day. Bearing in mind, I have dry skin so am not sure if it will work as well with oily skin as it's quite moisturising.

I don't find this has enough coverage/staying power for blemishes, but it is great for under the eyes, my current shade is Classic Ivory. It's the only concealer that masks the blue/purple colouring without drying out my under eye area so at this point I feel like the hassle is worth the much loved result.

However, if I was to find a new concealer that had the same result on my under eye area, was more expensive with better packaging and formula, I would absolutely buy it.

I have very dark under eyes and this covers so well! my only complaint would be the selection of very fair shades. I have the shade Natural which is the lightest and matches me well, but unfortunately I cant highlight with this product as it is the same shade as my skin. But has very nice coverage and blends wonderfully.

When you hear about an amazing concealer that’s creamy, buildable, and covers imperfections, it sounds like an amazing product. When you hear it’s only $3 it really does sound too good to be true, but for a price as low as that, there really is no good reason to not try it out for yourself, and because it’s so cheap, I actually brought three to try and get the right shade. The shade the seemed to be the best match for my skin is pure beige, and it matches my skin tone perfectly (I use this concealer for concealing, not for highlighting). The formula is creamy, and it seems to be thick enough to cover discolouration quite easily, as well as thin enough to be blended into my foundation so double points there. My need for a concealer is also to cover the slight hollows I get under my eyes when I’m tired and this product just can’t do that, but to be fair I haven’t yet found one that can. Also I don’t like using this for covering pimples because it just doesn’t do a good job. Also, something else slightly negative about this product is the fear of it creasing, and the fact that a setting powder is a necessity with this concealer, not an option. Also, this particular tube had a few cons for me as it seemed to be a bit faulty as the product seemed to separate so the concealer was slightly grainy, and lots of water wold come out. Not ideal, but I got a refund so managed to get a new one which was a much better consistency. One more negative is the terrible brush it comes with, I find it hard to get the product out, messy, and unhygienic because I can never wash it even if I am just dabbing the concealer onto the back on my hand. I did like this concealer (even though I found it had a lot of negatives), and I will keep one in my beauty draw, I love how it covers up darkness under my eyes, but will keep on the lookout for a concealer that does it all.

I was really excited to try this product but sadly it has not lived up to the hype for me. The first time I used it, it left little dried specks of concealer on my face and I thought maybe it was just at the top of the tube. Sadly however it still does this and I've nearly used it all up. I have to flick the wee specks off when my makeup is all done. I think this is probably just a defect with my particular tube but still, not ideal. The consistency is quite thick but still creamy, so I thought it would provide quite good coverage, but sadly another fail. I bought this to use as an undereye concealer but it really doesn't cover the dark circles at all really. To get good coverage I have to apply quite a bit of product which looks thick and awful on the fine lines under my eyes. I now skip this and go straight to Well-Rested powder and I get better coverage from that! The packaging is actually pretty good. I like the basic tube with black labelling but I do have a wee problem with the brush tip. It spurts out quite inconsistently and I have to keep it well away from my face or it spits little droplets on me. I have to put a wee dab on my hand and then apply to my face. Also the brush tip on mine has almost popped off completely! It looks like if I squeeze it too hard the whole top will come off. I hate to give a bad review but seriously disappointed with this.

this product is my holy grail for my under eye area, it sits perfectly without my little creases showing! my two downsides are that 1) i don't enjoy the little brush applicator but i think that is just personal preference 2) i only find this product good for my under eye area, it doesnt cover my blemishes very well. but its still so cheap and worth it! i hope LA GIRL does bring out a wider colour range :)

There are so many things that I love about this concealer, it is just great for everyday, for blemishes everything! So lets start - this concealer is super pigmented - there is so much packed into this tube. A little bit of product goes a long way and it covers up my redness, fading acne spots and pores. - It works well on its own or set with some powder foundation, so its great for those looking for a more natural look as well - At $8-$12 per tube in store, it's definitely cheaper than a lot of the other drugstore alternatives! - The shade range is outstanding - there are around 18 shades catering for both cool and warm toned skin types as well as any shade from light to dark. - It doesn't sink into fine lines or under eye lines. I use a lighter colour under my eyes to highlight and conceal my under eye circles and it works incredibly well especially after setting it with a yellow powder.

There are however minor issues with this product that I have found but aren't an absolute deal breaker: - It tends to cling to flaky spots - The product tends to separate sometimes in the tube. Give it a bit of a shake and you're good to go. - The tube brush is a little unhygienic, but a doe foot wouldn't be any different in terms of cleanliness.

I had heard about this product through YouTube and decided that I would give it a try myself. I loved it from the day i brought it. Though it is quite had to get the product out from the tube. It was good, it spread quite far, you didn't need a lot of product out to do the job you needed it to. I brought a light shade though it was quite orange. Is really good for concealing my freckles.

I bought this from the LAGirlNZ website for $13, which was the cheapest that I could find online. If I could find this for $5 I would definitely stock up, it's definitely worth it. I have this in the colour classic ivory, and it's not that light - it's almost a perfect match for my ChiChi BB cream in the lightest shade, which is still quite warm. I just checked the LAGirl website and they've bought out new corrector and lighter colours which I'd like to try. This concealer comes in a basic squeezy tube, it's quite a large tube considering the price. The biggest negative I've encountered with this concealer is the applicator - it's a brush tip that you squeeze the product out through, so you kind of have to apply it directly to your face using the brush. It's difficult to get the desired amount of product out, and I feel like there's a bit of wastage with the product that dries on the brush tip. It's also not ideal to be using the same brush on your face over and over again, but oh well. I use this product as a highlighter and to cover blemishes, and it works fairly well. It has medium - high coverage and blends really easily (I just use my fingers). It brightens really well too. I do find that this creases on my a little bit under my eyes, I usually just set it with a bit of powder and that keeps it reasonably still.

Overall, it's not a perfect product, but for its price it's still a must have. The formula is comparable to higher end concealers, but the packaging and applicator does need work.
