Have You tried Clinique beyond Perfecting super Concealer Camouflage + 24-Hour Wear?

uh…24-hour wear time = wishful thinking
Once upon a time, after seeing a photo of myself in cropped, flared capris with a camo print, I made a pact with myself to stay far, far away from camouflage.

“Karen,” I stated to myself, “no. Stop. Don’t do it, unless you wanna look like a sassy Filipino Oompa Loompa.”

I did not.

So I stopped. (Clinique beyond Perfecting super Concealer Camouflage + 24-Hour wear doesn’t count since it’s a concealer, so it’s exempt from this pact.)

Clinique beyond Perfecting super Concealer Camouflage + 24-Hour wear ($19.50, 0.26-oz. tube)

It’s a extremely pigmented liquid concealer offered in 18 shades (including a color-correcting Apricot one), as well as I truly like a few things about it, like the truth that it hides everything, it doesn’t settle into the lines under my eyes (although the matte surface may highlight seriously dry spots), it’s simple to blend, as well as it doesn’t look cake-y or obvious. even when I get all up in my frightening magnifying mirror, I can’t tell it’s there.

I’m using a mix of medium 18 (which is yellowish) as well as medium 22 (which is peachy) under my eyes. since it’s extremely matte, I skipped setting powder… I’m still in awe of exactly how you can’t see it at all in this pic.

My only genuine gripe (but it’s a doozy) is with the wear time…

Like, it ain’t 24 hours. about halfway with the day, I can already kinda see my dark circles again.

Granted, touching up with this stuff couldn’t be easier since it seamlessly, effortlessly blends into itself when I reapply it after a few hours, buuuuuuuut that’s not the point. This is supposed to last 24 hours (they even put it in the name!), as well as I get six at the most.

So that’s a bit disappointing, however hot dayum! — it looks freakin’ gorgeous. If it lasted longer, we’d be talkin’ holy grail status.

3 out of 5 hearts.

Did you know? You most likely already understand this trick, however it’s awfully practical sometimes. Did you understand that you can immediately transform your preferred tinted moisturizer or BB cream into a medium-coverage (or even full-coverage) foundation by adding a few drops of liquid concealer? Yup.
