LA Girl HD Pro Concealer

I have to admit I've previously been a bit of a makeup snob when it came to this brand - with how inexpensive it is, how could it possibly work well with my finnicky skin? Mine is oily, acne-prone with pigmentation I'd rather hide than highlight so I'm always looking for wonder products that will create a flawless base.

I received this as a gift from the lovely Kirsty who told me that it's known as a dupe for MAC's Pro Longwear and with such a high recommendation I was excited to give it a go. The first thing I noticed was the packaging, a plastic squeeze tube which is practical and contains a decent amount of product. I wasn't a fan of the brush-tip applicator, I found it a little bit awkward to use and to distribute the right amount of product, but after some practice I got there and think it's really handy! I use it to distribute the product in a triangle underneath my eyes, where I really want to conceal any dark shadows or pigmentation outside my eye area, and then blend it in using my fingertip. I've found this method works best for me to get an even, natural-looking finish that's very long-lasting. I have this in the colour 'Natural' which is a fair, peachy tone and I initially thought it would be far to light for me but I've found the colour works great to brighten under the eyes.

The formula itself is just what you want in a concealer, creamy but not to thick, buildable to cover imperfections without looking obvious or cakey and doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the skin.

I'm suprised at just how often I reach for this and would highly recommend you try it if you haven't already, it's a steal at the price and I will definately repurchase.

This is the most amazing concealer! I own it in the lightest shade and I find that it covers and highlights my under eye area perfectly - it also doesn't crease. The consistency is thick and creamy and it blends very easily. I like that it comes in a squeeze tube with a little brush applicator so that there isn't the wastage that comes with glass containers. It's also super affordable, a bonus for students like myself!

I have this in the Two lightest shades.The darker one i use for concealing blemishes and the lightest for under eye concealing. I like that it has a brush applicator and makes it easy to apply without any mess. The consistency is creamy and I Will be repurchasing when i run out :)

AMAZINGGGGGGGG

Full coverage, super cheap concealer, perfect for building under eye concealing, hiding all dark circles, love this concealer, and the price!

i would say this is defiantly a mac pro long wear dupe, if not better than the mac!!

best concealer i have used hands down loved that its not cakey or heavy easy to blend overall a great product. Im in love

I bought this off Beauty Joint after seeing such great reviews for it on here, youtube and on the fab BRA fb page. I was skeptical at first since this brand is so cheap and I just never really think that cheap foundations and concealers are going to cut it. The brand Elf has proved me wrong with that and if this concealer is anything to go by, then I'm excited to try more of this range.

The packaging is just a simple tube, to be honest, it looks really cheap. If I saw this in a store and had not seen the reviews, I wouldn't touch it..... Looks can be very deceiving!

When you unscrew the lid (bonus because it won't leak anywhere!), it has a brush applicator (this is the only thing I probably don't like, I wish it was a doe foot but it's still easy enough to work with!), then you just squeeze the packaging and Voila, concealer comes out!

It has no offensive smell to it and is a really nice thick and creamy consistency. I have this in Classic Ivory and it is a pretty much perfect match for my skin so I can use it for blemishes and under eyes. I like to use a tapered brush to blend it in perfectly but fingers do the job as well. It does need a setting powder to make it not crease (I use ELF hd setting powder), but it lasts amazing all day and covers everything that I want it too! I don't have really dark under eyes, but I think even if you did, this would do a fab job of covering them up.

My recommendation, it to give this a go. It's around $3, I don't know how you can go wrong with that price! I still have heaps left in my tube but I've already re-purchased this!

I found this product in new lynn after searching for EVER! although it's more than $5! More around the $12 mark. It's a small tube that's easy to squeeze, there is a brush top applicator which most people don't seem to like but I don't find it too much of a hassle although it would definitley be better without it. It's not messy and is very easy to use. Great full coverage and a little bit goes a long way, I wouldn't say it as good as the collection concealer from countdown but it is definitley in the running with it! The only problem I have is that it is so orange! There is no yellow toned concealer colours and even the lightest is a little too dark on my face. Apart from that, it's full coverage, easy to apply and blend, no creases and stays alllday withoit budge! Pretty impressed as it's not something I would usually pick up

This concealer is great for under the eyes, super creamy and easy to blend with great coverage. It also has quite a good range of colours and undertones. Not a huge fan of the packaging as it can be difficult to get all of it out, but it's inexpensive enough that it's not a huge issue for me personally. I find this blends best if you use your fingers to tap it into the skin and it has far better staying power when set with a powder.

Pro's: A little goes a long way. Very inexpensive. Covers nicely. Spreads easily. Nice consistency.

Con's: Only comes in a small package. The brush head is bad for spreading acne. The concealer can get smelly.

Overall I think the positives outweigh the negatives. It is a really good concealer and for the price you can't go wrong. I think this is a must have for every girl and would definitely recommend it.

I wanted to love this as every one was going crazy for it on facebook. I was lucky enough to get mine for $1!!! at postie plus in christchurch but the colour I got was off, I got ivory and it was very pink tinted, I felt it gave great coverage though and was good for the under eye area. The brush on it was not what I expected, and it smelled kind of funky. I wouldnt buy it at full price even though its not very dare but I would try the other colours if on special.
