Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit in Ivory and powder in Pale Yellow |
I bought the creamy concealer kit, that comes with both powder and concealer. Honestly I wish I hadn't. I have hardly used the powder as I find that it breaks me out. The reason I bought the kit was that they didn't have the concealer in my shade in single form, and as I was eager to try it - I gave in.

The first thing I want to mention is how little product you get. You only get 1.4 grams! To compare I looked at my MAC Studio Finish Concealer, where you get 7 grams. That and the fact that it is very expensive may be the main reason I will probably not repurchase this product. Although it is lovely under the eyes, it does not cover blemishes or redness that well. Sometimes it creases under my eyes if I don't use a powder, but the powder it comes with just makes it look dry and cakey. I have tried it other powders though, which works just fine. Sometimes I can even get away with not using a powder, which is great as I want my makeup to look as natural as possible.
As mentioned above, this is not a full coverage concealer. It may have a bit more coverage than your average liquid concealer, however it is not good for covering acne scaring or those annoying red spots. It also has a tendency to just slip off the blemish. However, if you are looking for an under eye concealer and you are willing to pay, I do recommend this. When I am using this on my skin, (not my under eye area) I have noticed that it can build up quite quickly and that it has a tendency to cling to any dry patches you might have, so keep that in mind.
So guys, do you have any thoughts on the Bobbi Brown Concealer?
