Product Description
Amazing Concealer is a full coverage, water-proof concealer that makes all skin imperfections disappear. Provides full coverage without the feeling of wearing any makeup at all. Its high-performing, water-resistant technology covers every skin imperfection including: dark circles, broken capillaries, redness, blemishes, sun damage and more.
The favorite of professional makeup artists, celebrities and enthusiasts from around the world, Amazing Concealer is considered the "magic-eraser" that will transform your skin, into amazing skin.
My never-ending quest for better concealers leads me to the much raved-about Amazing Cosmetics Concealer which I bought for $42 from Sephora Singapore early last year.
Available in 20 shades, I picked the one in Fair, with the help of a friend because there was no promoter around then.
Touted to be a complexion-perfection, highly-pigmented formula that gives a natural-looking finish and full coverage for everything from dark circles to blemishes, it seems to cater to my dark circles and eye bags needs but was later advised by another promoter that it is best to look for a less
thicker formula suitable for the undereye area.
Concealer usually takes a long time to be used up because you only need a tiny bit and with this highly pigmented and heavy concealer, it lasts me for slightly more than a year, though I don't use it on a daily basis. For this 6ml product, it is recommended not to use it for more than 12 months, as indicated by the tiny open-cap icon on the back of the concealer.
Housed in a black tiny tube with a twist and turn cap, the size is handy and portable. It makes slipping into bag easy although I don't have a tendency to bring concealers out. The consistency is thick and creamy, just a tad drying which makes blending requiring more effort as well as settling slightly into the fine lines and creases. It is long lasting and is highly pigmented. It helps to minimize the dark circles but not so, for eye bags. Then again, its never easy for eye bags to disappear without a trace.
I don't use it on other areas of the face because my dark circles and eye bags are my most concerned areas, other light blemishes are just secondary.
In terms of ingredients, mineral oil is its first ingredient in the list. There have been controversial theories in the pros and cons of having mineral oil in skincare products.
According to Livestrong,
“mineral oil coats the skin like plastic wrap, disrupting the skin's natural immune barrier and inhibiting its ability to breathe and absorb the 'natural moisture factor' (moisture and nutrition). In addition, mineral oil attracts needed moisture from cells deep inside your skin. This means that cell renewal is slowed, collagen breaks down, and the connective tissue is destroyed. Normal cell development is slowed down and the skin ages prematurely when skin cells are robbed of moisture."
Paula, on the other hand, feels that mineral oil is definitely safe and good for the skin in her article here.
