Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer, 16-Hour Wear, Long Lasting Concealer, Fair

Product Information

I bought Shade 5 Fair, Shade 10 Buttermilk and Shade 8 Beige. Before the new release, I had a routine of mixing Shade 5 (previously shade Fair) and Shade 10 (previously Warm Medium) together. It seemed to create the perfect yellowy-pale tone for my skin!

Shade 8 Beige - For light to medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 1B, Warm Fair For the coverage this concealer offers, combined with how creamy and blendable the formula is, I honestly don’t believe there’s a better concealer on the market. In fact, I’d call it the best concealer for acne in the UK. And that comes from someone who had cystic acne for 10 years — I’m a good concealer tester, let me tell you! Shade 4 Extra Fair - For fair skin tones with a warm neutral undertone. Previously named, 0, Extra Fair Shade 10 Buttermilk – For medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 3, Warm Medium Apparently, this concealer can last a solid 16 hours of wear. I can’t say I’ve ever timed the number of hours I’ve worn this specifically, but it has seen me through many drunken late nights out in my time!

So, if you know you’re potentially sensitive to any of the ingredients listed, do a patch test first. But considering thousands of acne-prone girls like myself rave about this concealer, I honestly don’t think the ingredients are much to worry about. Just make sure you’re removing your makeup well at the end of the day and you’ll be good to go! But, even better, the new shade Beige (a light shade with a yellow undertone) seems to do the job in one step now. So, instead, I’ll probably use Fair to highlight and Buttermilk when I’ve got a tan. Something that is interesting about this whole new revamp, and new shades is that they’ve posted this notice: I love it so much, in fact, that I’d call it my single biggest makeup favourite of all time. If I could have one product to my name, it’d be this!

It’s definitely long-lasting, and I could easily go a whole day (say, 8 am to 8 pm) without touching up and still feeling content with the state of my face. As with most makeup products, it does show some signs of wear after a whole day of wear — it creases a little under the eyes and redness slowly starts to peak through — but compared to others I’ve tried, it’s still a winner. The vegan formula is buildable, blendable and effortlessly covers and conceals blemishes and dark circles for a flawlessly smooth base. The lightweight liquid concealer glides onto the skin easily with a doe foot applicator. A high coverage stretchable concealer, comfortable on skin and doubles as an eyeshadow base. The creamy texture blends smoothly with a natural finish, covering any unwanted blemishes. Great coverage, easy-to-blend, lasts all day and only costs 4 quid odd. Show me a better value concealer, I challenge you!The first image in this post shows there’re 20 shades, but there are only 10 shades available at Boots right now, so I hope it won’t be too long before the remaining Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer shades arrive.

And this is me with my finished makeup. The concealer is the only thing I used for coverage, before following with Collection’s pressed powder in translucent. Go 1-2 shades lighter to contour, choose a concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight, and add definition to your cheekbones Shade 10 Buttermilk - For medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 3, Warm Medium During these changes, no change was made to the shade colouring of our original shades, the only change is the shade name/code and introduction of new shades. To find your perfect match, please refer to the images and list of shade.“ I am really looking forward to giving the formula a try as I am such a fan of the original, but the shades weren’t fair enough so the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Porcelain sounds so much better and it’s great they’ve introduced so many more shades.Claims: Collection claim this is a ‘vegan, mattifying, full-coverage concealer that lasts up to 16 hours. Second-skin matte concealer that covers and conceals in one application. Stay confidently flawless with the full-coverage skin-like formulation. Perfect for camouflaging dark circles, discolouration, redness and more.’ Collection have recently revamped this concealer, so I thought there was no better time to write a review. Does it still top my list of drugstore concealers? Let’s take a little look at my honest review of the Lasting Perfection Concealer… With that said, I personally don’t think makeup helped or hindered my acne. I tried going without it for three weeks (as an experiment) and my skin didn’t improve or get any worse. I’ve also never noticed any correlation between where I put this concealer and where I put spots — for example, I usually put some on my chin and between my eyebrows, but rarely get spots there.

If you’re looking for something affordable but with amazing coverage, this is your jam. I’ve seriously struggled with my skin but hid it from practically everyone I knew for years — which, if you’ve read my blog, was totally not the right decision. But regardless of that story, it did an amazing job at covering up my red, swollen, cystic acne. This multi-use, stretchy concealer goes a long way. With its high coverage this creamy concealer is perfect for dark under-eye circles, and has a delicious sweet vanilla and berry scent. Okay, I’ve rambled for long enough now — if you’ve got this far (props to you), you probably wanna see this thing in action. Shade 10 Buttermilk– For medium skin tones with a yellow undertone.
