Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer

My previous concealer also from Maybelline, the pure.makeup™ concealer was all gone and I had started breaking out and wanted something to cover them up. I'm really disappointed that the pure.makeup range from Maybelline is no longer available but that's another entire blog post on its own, so I got the next best thing which was from Maybellines’ Mineral Power line. This line is supposed to have the benefits of micro minerals and won’t clog the pores.

Packaging:

Little round plastic tube with a doe foot applicator. This does mean it’s durable and hardwearing and easy to keep clean.

Smell:

There’s no real distinct smell. If I hold it close enough to my nose I can smell a faint plastic, factory smell. It’s not at all off-putting.

Colour:

#960 Ivory Light 2-3. Medium coverage with a natural finish. If built up too much can look cakey. Also available in 3 shades.

Texture/Formula:

It's a thin, smooth liquid. It's easily blend able and to apply with the doe foot. It does feel liquid that's lightweight. It hasn't caused me any irritation and is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

This is only meant to be used for concealing blemishes not highlighting. It's ophthalmologist tested, talc-free, oil-free, fragrance-free and non-pore-clogging. Phew mouthful, but it wont do extra damage to current blemishes.

I noticed some pore clogging and made my blemishes bigger rather than concealing them. I stopped using this and the blemishes were reducing in size. The major negative. I thought it was oil-free which is why I got it instead of the '24hr concealer'. That is why I would choose something else.

I tried this under my eyes for testing sake. I noticed after 10 mins it creased under my eyes. No surprise as it's thick for an under eye concealer. 

Available:

From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores department stores for $15 for 5.5ml.
