If you've been reading Ellis Tuesday for years now, you might remember how much I used to feature Makeup Revolution. Especially when they were first starting out. Since then they have released so many incredible products, that many that it's been tough to keep up at times. It's also been a while since I dedicated an entire blog post to one specific product. But here we are and for good reason, might I add. So let's find out why this Makeup Revolution concealer is easily the best bargain concealer that I've ever tried;
After weeks of trips to every Superdrug within about 20 miles of me. I finally managed to hunt down a tube of this much lauded concealer. And I got it in the lightest shade; C1.
Having heard some of the hype surrounding this particular product, I was expecting there to be quite a buzz around the Makeup Revolution stand. But I in no way expected it to be as difficult to get my hands on as it was. If you're struggling to find your shade in-store, it might be worth checking out the Superdrug website. They do tend to restock quite frequently. But as I was only really looking to purchase this one item, it didn't make sense to pay for P&P when the product itself was only £4.
A match for my pale skin?
This is a great shade match for me and my insanely pale/fair skin. Which was quite the surprise. So if you're as pale as me, I'd definitely get yourself down to your local Makeup Revolution counter to give this a try. It almost matches my beloved and current favourite NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in terms of colour and consistency, which kind of blows my mind given the price.
This provides great coverage without clinging to any dry patches or looking too cakey. It also doesn't really settle into any fine lines or irritate my typically sensitive eyes either. For £4 you really can't go wrong with this concealer! It's creamy, blendable and the shade range is incredible. Not only have they got a broad range of shades. But they've also taken into consideration different undertones. Which again, for the price, is pretty unbelievable.
Comparing this to Tarte's Shape Tape...
Many have compared this to the iconic Tarte Shape Tape Concealer. However, sadly I haven't been able to try that one out for myself as of yet. But from what I have seen online, this could definitely be a great dupe. Especially when it's pretty tricky to come by Tarte here in the UK. The applicator is considerably bigger than any other concealer that I've ever tried. But I do now tend to apply my concealer onto the back of my hand first. That way I can warm it up a little, before applying it to my face. So it's not really a big issue for me. Shape Tape seems to have a similar sized applicator. So that might be the reason why this one is as large as it is. But saying that, it does make application incredibly quick and easy. You don't need to double or triple dip to get enough product out with this concealer.
Basically, if you've been thinking of picking this up or hunting it down; DO IT! I have a feeling that you won't regret it.
I've also got my eye on the newly released Fast Base Foundation Stick. But again, I want to wait until it comes into store. Just to double check that it is in fact the same shade as the concealer. It's priced at just £5 too!
