Maybelline Mineral Power Concealers in Sand and Beige


I decided to go back and try Maybelline's Mineral Power Concealer which worked well for me before because Rimmel's Match Perfection wasn't covering my dark circles enough. I bought them off of ebay.

Maybelline's concealers offer slightly more coverage compared to Rimmel's, but it's still not enough for my dark circles. It also creases more than the Rimmel one. I find that I'm just rubbing off the product trying to get rid of the creases. Time to go back to Collection 2000!

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer Swatches

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealers in Fair/Light, Light, & Light/Medium

I wanted a new concealer because I felt like my Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer wasn't doing it. I also had it for a year now so it was definitely time to throw it out. I went back to Sonia Kashuk's concealer palette and Hard Candy's Glamoflauge concealer, but I didn't like how either of them looked. I checked out Makeupalley's reviews and saw that this concealer had an average rating of 4.1 out of 5. Walgreens also had 50% off Rimmel cosmetics so I definitely had to try it out! First I picked up the light/medium shade, but it was too dark for my skin. Next time I went, I picked up light and fair/light.

The range of colors are really weird. Light is super pink, light/medium is tan, and the next one up (Medium) looks straight up yellow. Fair/light works for me right now and I'm hoping that light/medium will work when I get tanned during the summer. I'm bummed I can't return the shade Light because Walgreens doesn't accept opened/used cosmetics unless it caused a bad skin reaction. 

I'm still figuring out if I like it or not. When I first tried it, I liked how it didn't crease as much as my other concealers. I can also put a few layers without making it cakey, but I still see my dark circles showing through.
