Currently Loving: Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer




Recently, I have been getting a whole lot of use out of the ever-so-coveted Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer (£5.49). Is it the dreamy consistency, perfect glow or easy application that ticks all the boxes with Wake Me Up? Read on to find out what makes this my go-to concealer..
I'll admitt now: I have terribly pesky - purple - under eye luggage (bags), which are undeniably hard to conceal even with the thickest camoflauge. But for some reason, the budget Wake Me Up was different. I applied around 2/3 thin coats of Rimmel's magic underneath my eyes (I know you're thinking "that much!", but trust me it works..) and pat down with my other recent fave: the EcoTools Foam Applicator (£4.99) (sponge-on-a-stick? - ha). 



I should have, really, done a ''before'' and ''after'', because I believe the results from this concealer are that noticable. My undereyes still aren't perfected, I know; nevertheless, Wake Me Up transformed the area and enhanced my eyes - taking the attention away from the blue-toned undereye gift my parents lovingly gave me.

In all seriousness, Wake Me Up has - for the time being - replaced my beloved No7 Match Made Concealer (which I've used for 6+ months straight, yeah). And that takes some beating.

I also used: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, Benefit RollerLash (first impressions here) and the Maybelline ColourTattoo (On and On Bronze).

First Impressions // Lightweight Camouflage


It's Summer, so for me, I definitely don't want to cake my face in unneeded makeup.. that is where the No7 Match Made Concealer takes action and front place position for camouflaging pesky spots. The Match Made Concealer has a semi-matte texture and the long-lasting formula keeps unwanted shine at bay for hours.

I've used this for around a week up-to now and I can say for sure, that my shade, Calico (the palest), is a true colour and doesn't oxidize. Although, I'd be careful with the drier areas of your face, so be sure to moisturise thoroughly beforehand as this does tend to cling to those patches we don't want to highlight.

Overall, the packaging is meh, okay.. but plastic white? (The easiest colour to become filthy.. am I right?) But the product does deliver and provides good coverage to help erase my blemishes and redness. I think this is a good'un for no-makeup-makeup days because it looks invisible and natural.

The No7 Match Made Concealer £7.50 is available in 17 shades here - on www.boots.com.
