Here’s what our Review Crew® thought of these colour correcting concealers
The product
Most beauty addicts can’t live without their trusty concealer. The new wave of concealers – colour correctors – go one step further to helping us achieve a flawless, filter-free complexion by counteracting any unwanted discolouration in our skin tone. Maybelline New York Master Camo Concealer is available in five shades: green to nix redness, yellow to brighten, blue for anti-sallowness, and apricot and red to hide dark circles for light to medium skin tones and deep skin tones respectively.
The panel
Beauty Crew sent Maybelline New York Master Camo Concealer to a panel of women aged 18 to 39 who had a variety of skin concerns they wanted to conceal, including redness, dullness, sallowness and dark circles.
The lowdown
Here's what the Review Crew® loved about the colour correcting concealers:
How well the green concealer counteracted redness: For most of our Review Crew® members, the green concealer was their favourite of all the coloured formulas. They loved how it effectively counterbalanced redness around the nose and cheeks.
How convenient it was to keep in their handbag: Lots of colour correcting concealers come in a palette with various colours in one, which has its benefits but can be bulky to carry around for touch-ups on-the-go. Reviewers found that these individual pens meant they could just take the shade they needed with them when they walked out the door in the morning.
How easy to blend the formula was: Largely due to the handy built-in flocked tip applicator, members were pleasantly surprised by how easy the formula was to blend into skin, even given its thick, creamy consistency.
Good to know: A little product goes a long way. Lots of reviewers commented that it took them some practice to figure out how much product they needed, so we recommend starting off with just a small amount and build coverage as needed.
