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

Product Information

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 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. 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.

One tiny, teeny downside, though — when I was taking Accutane for my acne, this wasn’t such a good match for my skin. My skin was very dry and flaky and I found that this product clung to any dry patches — but in all fairness, I found that to happen with most products I tried at that stage. Anyway, I’d say this is worth using with caution for those with very dry skin. My normal skin type is normal-oily and slightly acne-prone (yep, even now) and it works perfectly again now. Something that is interesting about this whole new revamp, and new shades is that they’ve posted this notice: 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.“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 9 Light Vanilla – For medium skin tones with a pink undertone. Previously named 2, Cool Medium Shade 10 Buttermilk - For medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 3, Warm Medium 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. 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.

At the minute, the new Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer is only available at selected retailers which right now I believe is just Boots. Shade 8 Beige - For light to medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 1B, Warm Fair Shade 6 Cashew – For light skin tones with a golden neutral undertone. Previously named 1A Cool Fair 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 this used to do the job perfectly. Once blended out (gently) with a small sponge, you couldn’t see any transition between the concealer and my bare skin. I’d then just set over where I’d applied concealer very lightly with a translucent powder. It was such a relief to find something that meant I could hide my spots, but keep my real skin shining through.

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.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

Shade 6 Cashew– For light skin tones with a golden neutral undertone. [Previously named 1A Cool Fair] Shade 9 Light Vanilla - For medium skin tones with a pink undertone. Previously named 2, Cool Medium 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. 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!
