Concealers Review (NARS, Elizabeth Arden, Maybelline, The Body Shop)
So yesterday I got a question on my askfm (ask.fm/bellindapt) asking me to review concealers that I currently have and use. I thought why not?
Left to Right:
1. Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Correcting and Highlighting Perfector no. 3 - Rp 350.000
2. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Concealer shade Fair (no. 2) - Rp 300.000
3. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer shade Ginger - AUD 40 or around Rp 400.000
4. The Body Shop All in One Concealer shade 03 - Rp 179.000
5. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Sand - AUD 15 or around Rp 150.000
6. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Medium - AUD 15 or around Rp 150.000
7. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer in Medium - AUD 19 or around Rp 190.000
For products with its prices written in AUD means I bought them in Australia. Products with prices in Rupiah means I bought them at Indonesian stores, actual stores. No online shops so don't ask me which online shops to buy them.
This is how the applicator of each product looks like:
And these are the swatches on my hand:
Left to Right:
Maybelline Age Rewind (Medium) - Maybelline Fit Me (Sand) - The Body Shop All in One (03) - Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (Ginger) - Elizabeth Arden Ceramide (Fair) - Elizabeth Arden Perfector (03) - Maybelline Fit Me (Medium)
As you can see from the picture above, the Elizabeth Arden Perfector (03), The Body Shop (03), and Maybelline Agre Rewind (Medium) look pinkish. However when applied to my yellow-undertone skin, it blends well and I don't see any problem with them.
If you're wondering how the texture of each product feels like,
Creamier texture: Nars, Body Shop, Elizabeth Arden Perfector, Elizabeth Arden Ceramide
More liquid texture: All Maybelline products
If I were to put them in ranking based on how well it blends on my skin (blends best to hardest to blend), it goes like this:
1. Nars (blends best)
2. Maybelline Age Rewind
3. Maybelline Fit Me (medium)
4. Maybelline Fit Me (sand)
5. Elizabeth Arden Perfector
6. The Body Shop All in One
7. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide (hard to blend)
Ranking based on coverage as to how well it covers imperfection like dark spots or acne (highest coverage to lowest coverage):

2. Maybelline Age Rewind
3. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide
4. Maybelline Fit Me (medium)
5. Maybelline Fit Me (sand)
6. The Body Shop All in One
7. Elizabeth Arden Perfector (lowest coverage)
Ranking based on longevity or how long it stays on my skin without creasing (longest time to shortest):
1. Nars
2. Maybelline Age Rewind
3. Maybelline Fit Me (medium)
4. Maybelline Fit Me (sand)
5. Elizabeth Arden Perfector
