Concealers are particularly used to hide any imperfection on skin and body. Today reviewing “Colorbar Full Cover Concealer hiding skin blemishes, dark circles and other imperfections”. I apply my concealer after I had done toning and moisturizing. This way it sets the perfect base for my foundation. I have seen a lot of you tube gurus applying their concealers after foundation so I guess if you are comfortable with that do it!
Tapping the concealer from the outside to the inside I dab and not rub it in skin. I use a yellow tone concealer to cover up dark circles. I also apply it around the mouth and chin as they are a little uneven spots on my face. I either use a concealer brush or most of the time use my fingertips and blend well in patting motion.
I was looking for a concealer for my dark eyelids. The SA at the colorbar counter told me that I should go two shades darker than the natural skin tone to get even skin tone on my eye lids! I was unsure as I read that one shade lighter than your natural skin colour is used on dark circles but since she was in full confidence I blindly followed her and brought home the Colorbar concealer in shade “NUDE BEIGE 006”.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH COLORBAR FULL COVER CONCEALER
The colorbar full cover concealer is packed in a cute little plastic pot with a silver cap. It smells mildly and is of creamy consistency. It looks heavy and the first touch of it scared me but thankfully its light and it got absorbed into the skin quickly. The added bonus for my oily skin is that it is oil-free and doesn’t clog pores.
My main purpose for this buy was particularly to hide under eye circles. Actually only the lids are darker and I have no dark circles as such. As I applied it on my lid I saw that it blended nicely and the dark lid colour was reduced a little. It looked a little ashy though in the pictures, maybe because the wrong shade 🙁 ( i am not sure).
It stayed on me for 4 hours. It didn’t flake or set in lines on my lids. As it is I moisturised my skin well so the chances to accentuate fine line were slim and I am sure with an eye primer this will work best!

THE FINAL LOOK AFTER BLENDING ( IN PIC ITS LOOKING MORE ASHY BUT IT WASN’T THIS BAD :))
TURN ON: COLORBAR FULL COVER CONCEALER
1) Its light weight.
2) Its oil free
3) It’s non-comedogenic which means it won’t clog your pores.
4) Its water resistant and fragrance free.
5) It spreads easily on skin.
6) Spf present.
TURN OFF: COLORBAR FULL COVER CONCEALER
1) Parabens present.
2) A little expensive.
3) Looks a little Ashy in pics but maybe that’s because the shade is not correct 🙁
COSMOCHICS RATING: 4/5
“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER:- I am happy with it. It’s creamy, yellow toned and covers the darkness on the lids quite well. Maybe I need to try other shades to gain maximum benefits.
WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM OUR READERS
WHICH CONCEALER WORKS BEST FOR YOU? AND I AM REALLY CONFUSED WE SHOULD GO FOR A SHADE LIGHTER THAN OUR SKIN TONE OR DARKER? WHAT SAY GIRLS?

For Acne, I Go For a Concealer That’s a Shade Darker Than My Foundation Since I Use a Green Corrector First, Also Because I Don’t Want My Acne Scars To Stand Out
For My Under Eye Area, I Use The Same Concealer Shade as My Foundation Coz I Don’t Want My Under Eye Area To Stand Apart From the Rest of The Base.. Hope It Helps You a Lil 🙂

The SA’s at MAC recommend darker shade concealer for dark circles.
I’m an NC 43.5 in studio fix fluid, while my dark circle concealer is NC45 in Studio finish concealer. Concealer for dark circles and other discoloration on the face are usually of different shades.

go for a darker shade for your eye lids & dark crcles, as the skin tone is darker than the rest of your face
