Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer, 16-Hour Wear, Long Lasting Concealer, Fair

Product Information

Shade 10 Buttermilk– For medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. [Previously named 3, Warm Medium] If I had to use only one makeup product for the rest of my life, I would choose concealer every single time. As someone who is prone to acne scarring, has chronic dark circles and spends a lot of time trying to minimise her uneven skin tone, it's safe to say I rely heavily on concealer. Considering I don't really wear foundation, I use concealer in a myriad of ways. Not only does it disguise my under-eye bags, eradicate any signs of breakouts and cover up any redness, but it also works to even out my skin in a way that just leaves me feeling better about myself. Collection A high coverage stretchable concealer, comfortable on skin and doubles as an eyeshadow base. The creamy texture blends smoothly with a natural finish, covering any unwanted blemishes.

Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer, 16-Hour

There’s now a fair shade range catering to numerous skin tones and undertones, which I’m sure will grow even more with time. Here’s what’s available: Using your finger or a fluffy concealer brush, blend out until coverage is seamless with the rest of your skin. Shade 9 Light Vanilla– For medium skin tones with a pink undertone. [Previously named 2, Cool Medium] Claims: Collection claim this is a ‘vegan, mattifying, full-coverage concealer that lasts up to 16 hours. Second-skin matte concealer that covers and conceals in one application. Stay confidently flawless with the full-coverage skin-like formulation. Perfect for camouflaging dark circles, discolouration, redness and more.’ The latest addition to Collections’ best-selling Lasting Perfection range. The Lasting Perfection Hydrating Serum Concealer is a creamy, medium coverage serum concealer that sinks into skin and leaves skin feeling moisturised and hydrated.But, even better, the new shade Beige (a light shade with a yellow undertone) seems to do the job in one step now. So, instead, I’ll probably use Fair to highlight and Buttermilk when I’ve got a tan. Apparently, this concealer can last a solid 16 hours of wear. I can’t say I’ve ever timed the number of hours I’ve worn this specifically, but it has seen me through many drunken late nights out in my time! So, if you know you’re potentially sensitive to any of the ingredients listed, do a patch test first. But considering thousands of acne-prone girls like myself rave about this concealer, I honestly don’t think the ingredients are much to worry about. Just make sure you’re removing your makeup well at the end of the day and you’ll be good to go!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer Review: My honest thoughts

So yeah, as you can tell — I bloody love it. In my opinion — and with price and performance in mind — this is hands down the best concealer for acne. Let me explain why this product deserves its cult status: Moral of the story? Even though this concealer boasts incredible coverage, it’s not cakey or obvious like you might expect. Okay, I’m not saying it’ll look like you have no makeup on whatsoever, but it is incredibly blendable and creamy. With that said, I personally don’t think makeup helped or hindered my acne. I tried going without it for three weeks (as an experiment) and my skin didn’t improve or get any worse. I’ve also never noticed any correlation between where I put this concealer and where I put spots — for example, I usually put some on my chin and between my eyebrows, but rarely get spots there.

Pair with one of Collection’s Lasting Perfection Foundation shades, now formulated to perfectly match each concealer shade, making it easier to shop your base than ever before. But this used to do the job perfectly. Once blended out (gently) with a small sponge, you couldn’t see any transition between the concealer and my bare skin. I’d then just set over where I’d applied concealer very lightly with a translucent powder. It was such a relief to find something that meant I could hide my spots, but keep my real skin shining through. Shade 6 Cashew– For light skin tones with a golden neutral undertone. [Previously named 1A Cool Fair]Shade 6 Cashew - For light skin tones with a golden neutral undertone. Previously named 1A Cool Fair For best results, thoroughly was hands then use your ring finger to apply directly to skin. This helps to warm up the product, making it stretchable and blendable. I used to use this to spot conceal my angry spots and cysts. I’d apply a small dab straight onto the centre of the spot and blend it out with a clean finger or sponge. If a spot was particularly prominent, I would sometimes have to go in with a second layer — but after doubling up, the redness would always be gone.

If you’re looking for something affordable but with amazing coverage, this is your jam. I’ve seriously struggled with my skin but hid it from practically everyone I knew for years — which, if you’ve read my blog, was totally not the right decision. But regardless of that story, it did an amazing job at covering up my red, swollen, cystic acne.

Shade 8 Beige– For light to medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. [Previously named 1B, Warm Fair] For the coverage this concealer offers, combined with how creamy and blendable the formula is, I honestly don’t believe there’s a better concealer on the market. In fact, I’d call it the best concealer for acne in the UK. And that comes from someone who had cystic acne for 10 years — I’m a good concealer tester, let me tell you! Okay, my under eyes do look a little cakey here — but that was down to me applying too much powder to dry skin, not the concealer. One tiny, teeny downside, though — when I was taking Accutane for my acne, this wasn’t such a good match for my skin. My skin was very dry and flaky and I found that this product clung to any dry patches — but in all fairness, I found that to happen with most products I tried at that stage. Anyway, I’d say this is worth using with caution for those with very dry skin. My normal skin type is normal-oily and slightly acne-prone (yep, even now) and it works perfectly again now. The vegan formula is buildable, blendable and effortlessly covers and conceals blemishes and dark circles for a flawlessly smooth base. The lightweight liquid concealer glides onto the skin easily with a doe foot applicator.

To sculpt and contour, use a concealer 1-4 shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight, & another 1-4 shades darker to contour. Apply lighter shade down the nose, under the eye and centre of the forehead to illuminate. Use the darker shade to add dimension to your face, contouring your cheekbones, jawline and hairline
