There are rare occasions
when I use concealer because my glasses do a marvelous job in hiding the minor
dark circles I own, but I recently changed glasses and wanted to make my eyes
brighter. Lidl seemed to be thinking the same way because Cien made available
at the store nearby this liquid concealer.
The one I used in the past
was in a stick form, but why not try something new? There were two shades
available: light and medium. The one I bought is medium and it matches my skin
well. It does make the area under the eye a little brighter,
maintaining in the same time a natural look.
The interesting thing about
this liquid concealer is the sponge at the end, which reminded me of the
cushion technology, particularly the Sephora lip cream.
For me, it's easier to apply the product, but I have to admit it's not very
exact. And to be honest, there isn't much difference between the sponges; they
are degrading in the same way.
The package is small, 8 ml
of product, but it looks decent, it doesn't show that it was really cheap. The
black, little package is elegant to some extent and very practical to bring it
with you wherever you go. On the other hand, it would have been nicer if the product would have had a little more information about ingredients written on it. You won't have problems with closing the tube as the
cap works well. The sponge provided is very useful because it helps you
distribute evenly the product.
The coverage is the same as
my shade: medium. It doesn't cover everything and tends to fade away, so you
have to reapply it like one more time during the day. But I think that if you
use a good quantity and set it with powder, it should last you the whole day
without problems. Another part I appreciate about it is that it doesn't become
cakey. It treats that sensitive eye area gently and the skin doesn't have any
damage from using it. If you apply it on daily basics, the tiny thing is
consumed faster, but don't think that because it has liquid in its title, it is
that aqueous. Maybe because of the fluidity, it may seem harder to use the
sponge, but after a time, you'll get used to it.
Pros:
- light coverage for a
natural look;
- nice application method;
- cheap;
Cons:
- if you have darker
circles, the product isn't pigmented enough to provide full coverage.
