Another concealer review!
I was on a concealer kick lately and have purchased two in a span of a month.
Just a few posts ago, I reviewed the COLLECTION Lasting Perfection concealer (see post here).
After the field, I went and got another one from WATSONS.

The packaging is all plastic. And the stamped e.l.f. logo and product description rubs off very quickly.
At least mine did, and I don't even carry this around.
This is a true cream stick concealer.
I've had trouble with the local stick concealers.
But this bests them all. Although it's a stick, the stick is very soft.
Don't twist it up too much because it is really creamy.
Lightly pat or swipe this on your problem areas.
Then, blend away.
I use either my fingers or a stippling brush to blend this out.
Well, I mainly use my fingers for my under eye area.
There's some drag on application, especially on the under eye area.
Solution: bounce the product on those areas.
Where I apply this product:
Swipe liberally on a "triangle" from the under eye area towards the cheeks and around the nose.
Swipe liberally on a "triangle" from the under eye area towards the cheeks and around the nose.
I use this before foundation as a sort of base for my extremely problematic under eye circles.
The shade I got is salmon based so I was hoping that it'd get rid of some of the blue from my under eye.
I got this product because I needed a concealer that would be a better match with my skin tone.
At the same time, I need it to conceal my under eye shadows and redness.
Did it do its job?
There's a significant difference in the photo above.
Most of the redness has disappeared, except for the ones around my nose.
But really, I think this is the reflective quality of the e.l.f. All Over Cover Stick.
It blurs the imperfections enough to make it look flawless in pictures.
What I Enjoy (PRO)
+ The product is very creamy.
+ Relatively easy to blend.
+ Very affordable
TIPS and CONS:
- Store in a dark and dry place. This product tends to melt.
+ Blend well. It has a light to medium coverage. And, it is not build-able.
+ It will crease just a little bit after application. Just smooth it out with your fingers.
+ Suggestion: Apply before foundation to see better pay-off.
Hope this helps!
