COLLECTION LASTING PERFECTION CONCEALER. YES IT IS PERFECTION. REVIEW

So this is going to be a review about the 'Collection Lasting Perfection concealer' which isn't very original, I know, but I am actually obsessed with it right now and I have to get this out of my system.


excuse my evil looking thumb in this picture.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19- Amazon.
I used to own this concealer a couple of years ago but it was a time when I wasn't heavily into make up and I think I just bought it because it was cheap and easy. I didn't appreciate how amazing it actually is. As I mentioned I bought this product recently from amazon after reading the incredible reviews about it that seem to be everywhere and I chose the shade 'fair'. The only downside is that the colour range isn't great, there are only 4 shades but luckily the fairest one is matchable to my extremely pale skin! 

-I found the consistency quite creamy and thick, it wasn't liquidy enough that it ran all over my hand which was perfect. 

-It's so easily blendable using your fingers, as the warmth from your hands seems to make it melt and sink into your skin nicely. 

-The coverage is also brilliant, I only need a couple of dabs with the applicator over my spots and they are hidden, the consistency really clings to my spots and hides them well. I use this to cover dark circles under my eyes over the top of my sleek concealer palette as I find that the pinker tones of that concealer cancels out any blue shades under my eyes better, but the collection concealer adds further coverage which is great.  

-This concealer claims to last for 16 hours but to be honest I wouldn't know if this is true as I obviously don't wear my make up for 16 hours, I don't know many people that do?! I find that the coverage does last a lot longer than my other concealers but by the end of the day my face doesn't look as flawless as it did in the morning and I can see a few spots more clearly. I don't know if it's just my skin that make up doesn't stay on for a long time on but maybe it will last longer on other people's. 

Basically, all in all this is my perfect concealer at the moment and I can see myself repurchasing this again and again. I know this is compared to a lot of high end concealers and is said to be a dupe of really expensive products and I can see why, the whole consistency and coverage really does feel like a high end concealer- I love it!
