Hello loves,
So straight into 2018 we have a new product launch from Makeup Revolution. I'm sure that if you are a beauty fanatic you will have heard of them by now. I love them because they release dupes for higher end products, just for a much smaller price tag! Now I'm sure we have also heard of the famous Tarte Shape tape concealer. Well by the looks of things, makeup revolution have been hard at work to create a dupe for that concealer and this is the final product!
I was super excited to try this new product from Makeup revolution and sadly I wasn't able to instantly get my hands on it because it had been sold out online! So I fancied my chances, popped into Superdrug and thankfully there was a beautiful new display of these concealers and I was able to get my hands on them! The shades i managed to get my hands on were C5 and C4.
There are 18 shades to choose from and this has been deemed to be the 'concealer for everyone' ranging from warm, cool and neutral undertones! Makeup revolution describe the concealer to be a
"Lightweight yet full coverage concealer to cover blemishes, even skin tone and counteract dark circles, with a matte finish that won't settle or accentuate fine lines and pores. Long wearing intense pigment that can also be used to contour and add definition. Our large doe foot applicator allows for smooth application that won't drag on the delicate skin under your eyes".Packaging wise, it looks very presentable and I love the rose gold plastic component. More impressively, I love the big doe foot wand to apply the concealer! If you prefer a smaller doe foot to apply your concealer, don't be put off because you still have control over how much you would like to apply!
The first thing I noticed about applying the concealer, was that it wasn't too thick or thin, it wasn't too wet or dry, It was perfect. The texture is very smooth and upon application it does have a lovely medium coverage. The main difference I had noticed was the shade difference. It appears that C5 has more of a warm tone whereas C4 has more of a pink cool tone. I have been mixing the shades together as the undertones are just slightly off for me, but as a duo they work well!

Now lastly, I want to touch upon whether the product works or not. I go to different brands for different products. NARS has always been my go to for base and face products, MAC is my go to for lip products and Makeup revolution is my go to for eyeshadow products. Truthfully, I do not rate Makeup revolution for their base and face products, they just do not work with my skin. Now when this concealer came out, I was super excited to try it because of the hype surrounding it (I'm not alone I know you guys have done the same before!).
I have to say after trying this product, Makeup revolution has gone up in my estimations for their face products. This product applied and blended beautifully. If you want an extra bit of coverage, let it dry for a few seconds and then blend away. The texture is very smooth and it looks like skin! I would say the coverage is light to medium but buildable, thanks to the beautiful skin like texture. I do not think it is full coverage but I would say you can get a nice level of coverage if you build it. To demonstrate the coverage, I applied a dab to my tattoo and blended it in like I usually would. You can see it has covered some of the ink, but not enough to be fully coverage.
All in all, if you are looking for a new concealer I would recommend trying this one out. It applies and blends like a dream. It does not oxides which I thank the high heavens above for! It also has a lovely texture and appearance on the skin, but if you want super duper coverage - this is not the one. I personally do not think high coverage and skin like texture goes hand in hand, I think you can pretty much get one or the other! For only £4, it is worth trying this concealer out because it may be your next ride or die product. In terms of the product size, 3.4ml is way below average of the normal size concealer which tends to be around 7-9ml, but again for £4 I really do not mind.
Please let me know your thoughts - everyone has different experiences and ways of trying products so I would love to hear them!
