Maybelline Fit Me Concealer Review and Swatches

September 14, 2015

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer Review and Swatches
My eyes tell the most terrible night tales and even though I try hard to catch up on sleep, it is just not as easy to get rid of the dark circles. I have previously tried stick/cream concealers but haven’t ever been much of a fan. Just like my preference in foundations is liquid, turns out the same is true for concealers too. I bought this Maybelline Fit Me concealer in particular because I have been longing for NARS creamy concealer but since it is not available in Pakistan, I had to settle for Maybelline as both are compared a lot. 

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer Review and Swatches
Maybelline Fit Me concealer comes in a sturdy plastic tube with a basic doe-foot applicator, nothing fancy about either. The shade range is quite limited with only 6 variations but still workable. I got the shade 25 Medium because this was the only one anything close to my complexion though I later found out that 35 Deep would have been ideal. For some reason, I haven’t been able to find 35 Deep in local stores and for brightening a shade lighter is always a better choice so 25, it is. The formulation of Fit Me is liquidy but not runny and it is quite easy to blend. 
Now, like I said my dark circles are my major concern and that does mean that I rely on my foundation to cover up minor blemishes. I tested this along with L’Oreal Lumi Magique concealer before purchasing and honestly, this was just so much better. The fact that it adds instant brightness to the under eyes makes it a keeper for me. The coverage is light to medium, so I don’t find it that effective on spots as it completely diffuses into the skin in little proportions. However, this along with my Masarrat Misbah Foundation completely conceals all the undereye baggage and the duo has become a favourite recently. You can still see how well it performs on its own for darkness under the eyes. (I applied the concealer under the eye as well as the lid to balance it out, the contrast in the two, before and after, images is natural due to different tones as a result.)

One concern I have with concealers that go on the sensitive undereye area is creasing and this luckily does not crease much on me. Do note that I have dry/combo skin but I still always set it with powder for longevity. So, the only con of this concealer for me is that it transfers readily. If some of my eye makeup messes up like accidentally a tiny dot of mascara ends up on my skin, wiping it off ever so gently wipes off the concealer completely from that area.

If you are looking for a brightening concealer, Maybelline Fit Me is a great drugstore option and until I find a better alternative, this will be my ride or die for sure.

Price: 975 PKR

Amount: 6.8 ml

Availability: Maybelline counters in malls and superstores nationwide. You can buy it online at just4girls.pk. Use J4GJB5 for 5% off all purchases on their website.

    I have read raving reviews regarding this concealer and I too have read much about Nars creamy concealer but sadly due to high price and non availability, I can't buy it. Fit me and Maybelline The Age Rewind concealer both are in my wishlist. Great post:)

    Jadirah I think the permanence issue is a Maybelline thing. the age rewind wipes off a bit as well if I dont set it properly and that mascara issue is so frustrating I could so relate!

As someone wise once said and I quote, "eye creams As someone wise once said and I quote, "eye creams are overpriced moisturisers". I wish I had known this prior to wasting huge sums of money on them. Most eye creams are marketed in a way to make you believe that they will erase your dark circles and that's my gripe with them. 

The catch with eye creams like Origins Ginzing Refreshing or even Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream is that they contain a slight tint of pigment. So while you keep reading the word, β€œbright” in their descriptions, all it really means is that it can only help in concealing your dark circles just like makeup. I was a fool to not realise this soon enough, but also, the tint these brands add, only works for fifty shades of caucasian and not for any of the brown baddies like me.

In my blog post on jadirahsarmad.com I have reviewed several eye creams in detail and have also given an insight on how to diminish dark circles.

While I'm not completely against the idea of using an eye creams as they can still be beneficial in preventing fine lines and wrinkles, you can definitely just opt for something from the drugstore.
