Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer- Review

I recently purchased the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection ultimate wear concealer for £4.19. Now before I get stuck into this review I would just like to make clear that when it comes to concealers I definitely do not tend to branch out into high end...other make up yes, but for me its just not necessary to do so for concealers. I am fairly lucky when it comes to blemishes and pigmentation problems as a result of this concealers were always something I had incase a breakout were to occur and to cover slight dark circles that I had under my eyes.You should also bare in mind that my skin type is dry/ combination. I've heard rave reviews of this product through both blogs and the beauty community on youtube and as it is very reasonably priced I thought I would give it a whirl.

What the concealer promises: Conceals flaws and blemishes for up to 16 hours.

It's not often I will have my makeup on for a good 16 hours, however on the occasion I have, I did noticed that product has good staying power. I've also worn it to the gym and it lasted well, and that definitely put it to the test!

It comes in 4 shades and I have opted for the shade 2, Light. While the colour range for light to medium skin tones is good i'm not sure how well it would work for darker skin tones. If you have tried it let me know?

It comes in a slim tube with an applicator wand...now if i'm being really picky as its a product you may be using to cover blemishes this could touch bacteria and then put this bacteria back into the product. However, many other concealers come in a similar manner so this cannot be too much of an issue and if it really bothers you, then use a brush?

As for the actual product I found it to be of a lovely creamy consistency. The texture of the concealer was particularly good for my dry skin as it was very moisturising and didn't get cakey at all, even after layering or reapplying.

The coverage is fantastic and it blends extremely well. All in all I cannot fault this concealer and it does the job perfectly for me. Like I said previously I cannot compare it to higher end brands but from what I have heard/read it does the job just as well, and at £4.19 (approx.) you can't go wrong.

Here I am wearing the concealer along with my Bourjois healthy mix foundation. Although the naturally bright lighting of the photograph is kind to dark circles I think you can tell that the concealer does blend well and does its job of "concealing flaws and blemishes"

If you have any other questions I would love to try and help. What do you think of this concealer? Any others you would recommend?

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely english weather (fingers crossed it stays for a while)
