This concealer retails for $14.99, but you can usually score good discounts at the drugstore. I’d say I can get about 8 – 9 hours of decent wear under those conditions. I find the longevity is best when I apply the least amount of product that I can get away with, and when there is zero to little tackiness on my skin. Also, make sure you do not use a really emollient moisturizer on any area where you intend to place this concealer – you will get creases galore! If I layer too much it tends to cake-up a bit and sit in fine lines after a few hours nothing too horrible but it’s definitely worth noting. This is a funny one – I’ve had both good and bad experiences with the wear of this concealer. This is my major beef with drugstore bases – everything is yellow, yellow, yellow! Ugh, struggles, right? I picked up the shade Fair, which is light enough but the tone is quite yellow for me (I have a cool-to-neutral undertone). Chances are you won’t be able to get your perfect match unfortunately. There are only 5 shades available in this range, which is woefully low. Read this: Glossier Stretch Concealer Review MY THOUGHTS ON SHADE SELECTION I’m personally never looking for “perfect” makeup so this doesn’t bother me at all. This is definitely not the concealer to use if you’re looking to make your skin appear flawless. You can build it up but I’d advise not to try too hard (I’ll tell you why down below). I’d also say this sits squarely in the light-to-medium coverage range. I definitely agree with Neutrogena’s claim re: this product’s “natural-looking coverage” – it’s somewhere between a matte and dewy finish. As I mentioned above, I just use my finger to gently pat it into my skin it’s very easy. The consistency of the product is quite thin and creamy so it applies very smoothly. The core (which applies clear) contains hydrating ingredients, while the pigment contains the coverage. RATING: 3 / 5 ⭐️ MY THOUGHTS ON APPLICATIONĪs you can see from the image below, this concealer has a white core surrounded by flesh-colored pigment. I really appreciated that! So hopefully this fault doesn’t effect all components, but I’m not sure. Short side-story: I mentioned this issue on Instagram, and Neutrogena reached out to me asking for the batch # on my stick so they could inform their manufacturer. For that reason this isn’t something I’d put in a makeup travel bag – product could get everywhere or could dry out. Every third or fourth time I put it back on the component, I don’t hear that satisfying *click* so it just pops off. The specific problem I have is with the clear, plastic cap (not pictured). This is a twist-up stick concealer with very lightweight, but cheap packaging. So that’s how I’ve been applying this product ever since. I like that method a lot better much easier and more convenient. I then decided to swipe straight from the stick onto my skin, and blend the product out with my fingers. But I ultimately found this method too fussy. I initially deposited product from the stick onto the back of my hand, and then stippled it in with my middle finger under my eyes, around my nose, and on any other areas of redness. Since I’m new to stick concealers, I first decided to take things slowly. – Neutrogena website HOW I APPLY THIS CONCEALER Ophthalmologist tested: safe for sensitive eyes & contact lens wearer.Blends effortlessly to hide dark circles for a fresh look all day.

This review is specifically in regards to the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Concealer, which is in a stick format. I picked up some items from their Hydro Boost range, which is designed to imbue moisture and hydration to the skin. But I had never tried out any of their makeup, so last month I decided to change that. Their makeup remover wipes are absolutely amazing in my opinion, and their mineral sunscreens are always in my beach bag. I’ve been a fan of Neutrogena as a brand for years now.
