Heyya beauty queens…
I believe everybody
needs a concealer some day or other and hence it is very essential to have a
good concealer as part of our makeup kittys. So I was on look out for a good
drugstore concealer as the late night studies and continuous staring at laptop
was taking a toll on my eyes...(under eye pigmentation and bags L L).
That when I found this Bourjois Healthy Mix Illuminating Brush Concealer. Let’s take a look at product and see how it
fairs

It is available in 3
shades
61 Beige Claire 62 Beige Rose 63 Beige Dore
The shade that I’m
reviewing is 62 Beige Rose.
Packing:
Its packaging reminds
me of YSL Touche Eclat. Because of the bright red cap it’s easy to locate and
the pen type packaging makes it easy to use. It has a brush for the tip which
is soft and of good quality; it doesn't irritate the delicate under eye skin
while applying the product. You need to twist the bottom part for the product
to come out. We get enough quantity of product in one twist to cover an eye
plus you can decide how much product you want and twist it as per that (good
customization…). On the downside pen feels bit unhygienic and to clean it is
bit of trouble.
Texture:
It is a liquid
concealer and has a slight runny texture that makes it perfect for blending. I
prefer liquid concealer for under eyes as the skin in this part is thinner then
reset of face so bending can be bit of problem and I feel cream concealers
makes under eye are look cackey..and can settle in fine lines..(my opinion)
Swatches :
Application:
Twist the pen to get
enough product on the brush. Then put 5-6 dots and blend it with your fingers
or any concealer brush. The brush on the tube is not enough for blending the
product completely so we need to blend it finger for flawless finish. The set
it with powder for better stay time.
Coverage:
It gives medium
coverage for under eye portion and instantly brightens up my eye and makes them
look fresh. It doesn't my under eyes look grayish which is definitely plus as
it has yellow tones in it which is good for most Indian skin tones
You can build up the
coverage as per your desire without the risk of looking made up or having
cackey feel..
It doesn't cover acne
marks so well (medium coverage) but still if used with corrector does a decent
job on them as well…
We can also use Bourjois Healthy Mix
Illuminating Brush Concealer as a highlighter on the face, under our eyes, the
bridge of our nose, and on the highest cheekbones. It gives a nice subtle glow to
face
Stay time:
I stay in Mumbai where
climate is hot and humid plus I travel in trains I tend to get sweaty a lot
still once I set with powder it stays for good 3-4 hours without fading but
then it fades evenly without looking patchy.
Pros:
- Good coverage
- Affordable price
- Pretty good stay time
- Easy to carry for touch ups
- Can be used as illuminator
- Instantly brightens the tired eyes
- Good sturdy packaging
- Good amount of product
Cons:
- Availability
- Pen brush is unhygienic
- Shade selection is very limited
- Doesn't cover acne marks completely.
- Stay time could have been more.
Rating:
4/5
Recommendation:
It is a good and
affordable product if you need medium coverage for you’re under eyes and require
brightening effect on most days. I would definitely recommend it.
