Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer Review


So I'm pretty sure you guys have heard of this concealer because people are going crazy for it and they have a good reason for it lol.

Shades:
Light
Medium (what i have)
Tan

Where To Buy:
Walmart

Price:
$6.00 

so this is what the website says about the product:

"A heavy duty, highly pigmented, multi-use concealer that delivers ultimate coverage. The formula blends seamlessly into skin with plenty of play time creating a flawless and natural look perfect for any occasion. You can hide everything from dark circles and blemishes to tattoos!"

What i say (My review):

The Good:
This concealer is amazing, it will cover anything..any imperfections, dark circles and believe it or not it actually does cover tattoos, i don't have any but my bf does and he let me test it out on him and yup it works. it is a very thick consistency so it does need a lot of blending so its best to apply it with a blending fluffy brush like MAC's 224. and another great thing about it is the size, its pretty big because most concealers come in a small pot/tube since you don't need very much but The hard candy concealer will last you years and years lol no lie because the formula is thick and very pigmented/opaque so you only need a very very tiny tiny! amount. I'm not lying, you need less than a dot. The amount i used in the swatch picture will cover your whole face lol. I also like how it comes with a small concealer pencil which i use for small spots that don't need very much coverage. This concealer does wonders but i mainly use it for blemishes/redness and not for under eye dark circles which brings me to the bad part.......

P.S another great thing is the price! so cheap

The Bad:
This concealer completely vanishes my dark circles which i love but what i hate is that no matter how i apply it, how much, or how i blend it,  it always creases on me which is a big thumbs down for me. even if i apply a tiny amount it accentuates my fine lines and it looks very dry under the eyes so if you don't really have dark circles then skip it, i use my regular everyday concealer under my eyes, but if you have terrible under eye dark circles then i recommend using and under eye primer or a thick moisturizing eye cream and blend blend blend the concealer so it doesn't crease as much or maybe it won't crease at all for you. That's the only bad part about this concealer, other than that its great and i recommend it.

Hard Candy Undercover Agent Concealer

I bought this about a week ago at walmart(i think it's only available at walmart). I wanted to buy the glamoflauge concealer because ive heard great things about it but it wasn't available in my shade. So i just picked up this one. Im sorry i don't show the packaging it came in, i was so excited to try it i opened it and threw it away.

I love everything from Hard Candy cosmetics so i had high expectations for this.
so onto the review
This an undereye brightener and concealer duo. It comes in three shades light, medium, and tan. It reatails for about $7.
in the black tube it contains a lotion/cream that is suppose to brighten up your undereye area, reduces dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, and if you screw the clear cap off it contains the concealer.
CONCEALER: I am not a big fan of the concealer at all. The formula is not creamy and if applied directly under your eyes it tugs on your skin a lot which is a bad thing and it extremely dried out the area which only accentuated my lines =(. It's best if you apply it to your finger and then blend it. I got the medium shade which is too pink for me because i have yellow undertones so it doesn't match good. i used it to cover blemishes which works better than undereye circles. the bad part is that it is light to medium coverage so if you have heavy areas to conceal this isnt the product for it.
Black Tube: The cream inside is very lightweight and thin. It feels a little bit watery. you only need a small amount and it's not so moisturizing. but it does brighten and take some of the puffiness away but i didn't see my fine lines go away. It doesnt make a huge difference though.
