Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer (Shade #1 Fair) REVIEW

Last week I purchased a new liquid concealer - something I've never ventured into before. Previously I'd stuck to the norm with my Collection Cover Up Stick [review here]; which wasn't really helping my skin out at all. Instead of leaving me looking fresh, the cover-up stick was creating orange rings where my dark circles usually laid - something I needed to rectify. I do admit that I perhaps bought the stick in a shade that was slightly too dark (or yellow) for me, but I was convinced that it would do a good enough job considering they didn't have any lighter shades in stock at the time.

Perfect? I adore Collection's liquid concealer

But, sticking with Collection products, I found a concealer that's absolutely perfect for me. And that product would be Collection's Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer (in case you hadn't guessed from the title). Right from the start it's more welcoming than, er, the stick, because the liquid is cool and more easy to spread across your skin - instantly giving you a fresher, brighter feel. I apply it under my eyes - which is really my prime problem area - but also on any red areas of skin, spots or scars. It helps with everything really. Another plus side is that you really can't tell you have anything on. This means that I would feel comfortable going out with just concealer on, if I was in a rush. No need for foundation, but maybe a sprinkle of powder just because I feel naked without it.



"Just white" - it's perfect for paler people without washing them out

As for spots, this product conceals wonderfully. I've never owned a product that covered up my spots completely, and especially not for such a long time! It really is a godsend and I'll be repurchasing it a hell of a lot I should imagine. How long the product stays on, I really can't guess at. The packet it's in claims that you will stay looking fresh for up to 16 hours. I actually wore this product to my year 11 prom, where I wore the concealer with my Miss Sporty So Matte Perfect Stay Foundation [review here] combined with my Collection Pressed Powder [review here] and came home feeling as beautiful as the second I left. I was at my prom jumping up and down for about 6 hours I'd say, so I tend to believe what the product claims.

Wow! A little bit of product kept me going for about six hours

Now for something very close to my heart. Ever since I was around nine years old, I've had a collection of small what I like to call "dents" in my forehead, which really are chicken pox scars. Previously I had no way of filling them in or making them look less sharp - and although I'm not saying that this product does the job perfectly, it really does help. Which is more than any product I've ever used before. Maybe liquid concealers are just my thing. If anyone can recommend any liquid concealers that you think might help with my scars, it would be much appreciated and I'd love to do a review for you.

Extremely pale skin but problems with spots? Maybe this could work for you too

If you're interested in purchasing this product, the Collection website states that it's unavailable to buy online - but I'm sure you could buy it from Boots or E-Bay if you can find it on their sites. If I remember correctly, in Superdrug store this product cost me under £5. Or, if you've tried this concealer before, let me know what you think in the comments below! Thankyou.
