Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

Hi everyone! You know what it is, it's review time. And today I'm reviewing the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Concealer. As far as I know, this is a treatment concealer and has been insanely raved about, be it in the blogging world or the Youtube world. Now, this concealer may have been reviewed and swatched countless times but whatever, I'm going to review it anyway.

Price

It retails for RM32. It may be cheaper or more expensive depending on which drugstore you get them at. Honestly speaking, it's actually quite high up there for a drugstore concealer but it's definitely worth it since it does last a pretty long time. I'd say, try to get it during sales so it'll be more worth it!

Where to get

Guardian, Watsons, Aeon Wellness, Online

Shade range

There are 6 shades, I believe. But in Malaysia, that's not the case. There are only 2 shades available here, light and medium. I got mine in 'Medium' because it suits my medium-tanned skin. If you are on the fairer side, you might want to try the light shade. I hope they will expand the shade range because I want to try the other shades too, especially the neutralizer!

Texture

Safe to say that it's perfect for the under-eye area as it's lightweight yet covers up my worst dark circles. I use the Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On before applying it and it glides on so smoothly! But bear in mind, it's a lightweight concealer but it's not that creamy so it sets really fast and you need to blend real quick. 

Packaging

It has a round sponge tip and you simply need to turn and click the head of the applicator to set the product out. 4-5 clicks to the left are about enough product to cover the eyes. I actually really like it. It's not like a typical concealer packaging that has a doe-foot applicator. I like the sponge applicator even though you may not agree with me. Some people seem to hate the sponge tip just because it seems unhygienic. I honestly don't mind it, you can just use your concealer brush, right? It's there for a reason. 

Coverage

Medium to high coverage, I suppose. It really covers up my dark circles very well. It is also great for highlighting! I usually do the "triangle" under the eyes, highlighting the bridge of my nose, in between my brows and my chin.

Staying power

It lasted the whole day! No patchiness, not drying under the eyes, doesn't crumble and all of that good stuff. However, it settled quite a bit into my fine lines. Just a little bit but at this point, what product doesn't settle into fine lines IF you have them?

What I don't like about this concealer

Always out of stock

I have used the product for 4 months now and apart from the issues that I pointed out, I'm pretty happy with it still. It was impossible to talk negatively about this concealer because it does work. Trust me, I'm very critical when it comes to concealers in general. All in all, I do enjoy this product! Sometimes I like to rotate between this and my trustee Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer. Both work well for me. Would I recommend this concealer? Heck yes.
