……

Foundation: E.L.F. – Hydrating Camo Concealer

Price: $6.00 (E.L.F. Website)

Shade: currently available in 25 shades. Mine is in ‘Light Beige’

Scent: yes; very ‘chemically’ – almost like liquor

Type/Claims: full coverage, satin finish, all-day long wear, crease-proof, delivers a ‘boost’ of hydration to the skin

Style: 0.203 fl ounce, clear plastic cylindrical tube, white plastic twist-cap, large doe-foot applicator

Application Method: left eye with a concealer brush, right eye with a damp sponge

Dexterity Concerns: none

Oxidization: no; I wouldn’t say this oxidized much

Extra Information: contains hyaluronic acid & rose-flower water in formula, ‘clean’ formula. This product is cruelty-free, vegan, no PAO on tube (may have been on original box), made in China

Rules: no base primer, no setting powder – no other makeup to affect wear; just the concealer

Activity:  moderate house-cleaning, ran a TON of errands in the muggy heat, cooked steamy chicken & dumplings, refrained from touching face at all times

……

⭐ Initial Application: (1330) thick consistency, applied 3 big dots on each undereye, prefer coverage on ‘sponge’ side (it looks smoother), full-coverage application, covered dark circles, dark lower lashline, & blemishes near undereye, dewy finish

……

🕑 2-Hour Mark: (1530) still wearable on (both sides); looks better on ‘sponge’ side. The ‘brush’ side is breaking up, collecting in my creases, & the dark circle is resurfacing.

……

🕔 5-Hour Mark: (1830) still wearable on (sponge side); concealer has collected in my tear duct on left eye (brush side), I wiped it away before taking a picture as it was pretty gross. The concealer has settled into fine lines on sponge side.

……

🕗 8-Hour Mark: (2130) still wearable on (sponge side); brush side is completely broken up & gross-looking. Sponge side is facing a lot of creasing.

……

🚦Rating: B

……

⭐ RATING LEGEND:

A = totally wow’d me

B = not the best, but I like it

C = personal bias, nothing wrong w/ product

D = this didn’t work out for me

F = I totally hate this

……

🤓 Final Thoughts:

▪️True Coverage: full

▪️True Finish: satin

▪️Shade Matching: concealer does NOT oxidize, so rest assured you can safely match shades. E.L.F. has a ‘Shade Finder’ on their website + a ’30-Day Shade Match Guarantee’

▪️Recommended Application Method: sponge

▪️Recommended Skin Type: normal-to-dry

▪️Recommended MAX Wear Time: 2 hours w/ Brush, 8 hours w/ sponge

▪️Packaging: below-standard, lacks necessary product information

▪️Value – Using the ‘average’ amount of concealer as 0.33 fl oz., this calculates to be $9.75/standardized tube, which I would consider mid-end pricing (<$5=low-end; $6-$15=mid-end;  $16-$30= high-end; >$31=luxury)

▪️Extra Information: I despise ‘hyaluronic acid’ being in the formula, but to each their own. I was surprised at how well this did & long-lasting this was with a sponge! I’m sure if you pop on an undereye primer, & set it with some setting powder – it would have stayed crease-free for a longer period of time.
