L.A. Girl Pro Concealer, Natural, 0.28 Ounce (LAX-GC972-A)

I can't believe this concealer is still around! I used it way back in high school, but I remember the quality was pretty bad, so I stopped using it. I'm now in my 30s, and I have been noticing dark spots under my eye bag area, so I've been on the hunt for a color corrector. Concealer is no longer enough, so I need something to neutralize these spots. The thing is that I'm super pale, so the standard pink is way too dark for me. I did my research and found that light pink is my best bet. L.A. Girl is one of the few brands that carries a light pink color corrector. And because I've never used a color corrector before, I figured that it made sense to start with this brand since it's cheap, so I don't have to worry about wasting product while I play around with it to see what application technique and product amount work best for me. To my surprise, it works really well! I applied it over my foundation and under concealer. At first, I thought it looked a bit dry and slightly patchy, but it looked amazing after using my setting spray. I even used a tiny bit under my eyes just because I wanted to see if it made a difference, and it did. My undereye area looks vibrant and brightened, but most important of all, it covers those pesky dark spots. I put it to the test over the weekend because I had events to go to and had my makeup on for 12+ hours at a time. It was extremely hot on one day, and I did sweat a little, but the color corrector did not budge. Everything remained intact and covered, so I'm officially sold. I love that it works well with high-end products (my primer is Tatcha, foundation is Dior, concealer is Giorgio Armani, and setting powder is Givenchy). I don't know if L.A. Girl changed their formula, but it seems that it significantly improved. What hasn't improved is the packaging. I don't mind the squeeze tube, but I feel like the applicator tip has got to go. I personally don't find the brush tip helpful or hygienic. I would prefer that it come with a plastic tip applicator so it's easy to keep it clean. I've been squeezing a bit on the back of my hand and then applying it with my fingers because applying it directly with the skinny little brush tip just doesn't make any sense to me. But other than that, it's a great product. I'm glad I decided to give L.A. Girl another chance.

I happen to like this better than some of the higher end concealers and keep coming back to it. It’s kind of hard to match your color on here though. I don’t think the color chart they have is very accurate. Some of the lighter colors appear quite dark on the reference. For example, I’m quite fair but I use the color “bisque”. On the chart though it appears quite dark. I’ve bought this previously in a store, so I happened to already know what color I use.. so if you’re not sure and between colors, I would go with the slightly darker shade than you would usually, since the colors show darker on the chart? I recommend using this after your skin care and a hydrating eye cream, maybe one with hyaluronic acid over one that’s oil based, because it can look a little dry if your skin isn’t prepped well. So hydrate your skin first. It’s quite a full coverage concealer so a little goes a long way. I personally like to set it with a light dusting of a translucent loose powder on a fluffy brush. Elf makes a pretty decent powder and affordable one. If your skin is more mature, after you’ve done the rest of your makeup, minus your mascara, use a hydrating setting spray and let it dry before you do your mascara as your last step. (my favorite setting spray is “Algenist splash” but it’s a little pricy. Heard elf makes a decent and affordable one too) also if you find it creases a little under your eyes, use a q-tip and gently swipe where it has settled and looks good as new! Hope this helps a little

MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING AND ITS THE WRONG COLOR BUT A GOOD PRODUCT

Great for the price, I use it to cover my imperfections.

I love this concealer. The coverage is great and the shades are perfect for my skin tone

I got the color fairest and omg this is the first one I had that is soooooooooooo not the correct shade! It is so pale! The texture is to thick and it’s hard to blend in the coverage is okay but so far it does not last very long

It’s amazing with its consistency, its coverage, its application is amazing, and it dries quickly. The best I’ve used. And it was the perfect shade on me

First time using this product (or any color corrector) and it did a great job of brightening my under eyes. I have an olive overtone and a neutral undertone with light brown skin. I probably need to pick up a loose powder to help set. It does dry pretty quickly so work the product into your skill quickly - a little goes a long way.
