MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer

From this photo, hopefully you can see how thick the consistency is
After hearing that the MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer was one of the best around for covering the purple/blue  tones of under-eye circles I decided to give it a go, as they are something i've always struggled with. Previously, after experimenting with several concealers (including YSL Touche Eclat) I had settled with the popular Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, which offers a good coverage and brightens the under eye area. However, in order for me to feel that my dark circles were completely eliminated, I needed a couple of layers- hence my reasoning for trying Studio Sculpt. I was matched to the colour NW20 which contains peachy pink undertones to correct the blue/purple ones. The concealer has a very thick, paste-like consistency which means that a small amount can be blended out to cover a wide area. The thickness of the consistency is what enables this concealer to provide a thick coverage under the eye area, which I found to work well, almost eliminating the discolouration completely. However, if using this product, I would say to be  sure to use a small amount to avoid making the under eye area look too cakey. I also quite like to add a layer of lasting perfection over the top to brighten the skin, something which studio sculpt does not do. Priced at £13.50, if you suffer from under eye circles (or blemishes, which it is equally effective with) then I would recommend giving studio sculpt a try- a small amount will provide very good coverage. To use this product, I also picked up the Barry M Concealer brush, this allowed me apply the concealer and blend it out well- the brush is available at Superdrug £2.99


As you can see, the concealer provides a good coverage which pretty much blanks out the purple tones under my eyes, however they are still slightly visible to a certain degree.
