Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Hi everyone! I know that the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer is an insanely blogged about product and an absolute bloggers favourite however I had never actually tried it, I just recently bought it and I wanted to see whether or not it actually lives up to the hype. That's the thing with these really hyped up products sometimes they just don't work for you and you will be so disappointed since everyone else seems to love them and I wanted to see whether this product works for me or not.





I bought mine from Boots for £4.19, it is such an affordable price for a concealer, really won't break the bank which is why when I bought it I was so hopeful that I'd love it because repurchasing it wouldn't seem like such a hassle for that price! I also got mine in the shade fair 01, this was the biggest issue I had, the shade range is very small. When I bought mine there was only 4 shades available and I felt like this one was a bit too light for me and the next shade up was too dark as I wanted to highlight and conceal. I went for 01 anyway and it isn't too light, I would have just preferred it a touch darker. 

This is claimed to be a long lasting concealer which can last up to 16 hours, I've tried and tested it and I would definitely say it has staying power, although I can't vouch for it lasting 16 hours and I don't think many other people could as no one really wears make up for 16 hours! It has a doe foot applicator which I love, this is my favourite type of applicators for concealer I just think they are no where near as messy as when you get those little bottles that are either a squeezy top or a pump! If I'm honest when I first applied it I really wasn't sure, I felt like it wasn't going to work with my dry skin and I found blending it quite difficult however it has really grown on me. Once I'd blended it I was very happy with the coverage, I have quite dark under eye circles and I felt like it worked really well at concealing them and the shade worked as a nice highlighter even though it may have been better a tiny bit darker. I found it really good for not creasing and it was also good at concealing blemishes.

I definitely think for the price it is really good, however for my skin type and for what I look for in a product I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever tried. I think for anyone with normal/oily skin or someone that prefers a full coverage look it will be amazing for them. I do like it and will continue to use it when I need my make up to last all day but it is a bit matte for me, I like something a bit more radiant and brightening however for the price I really am not going to complain and I would repurchase, let me know in the comments what you think of this product and whether you think it is worth the hype!

  1. I actually like that product (I have oily skin and I like how it leaves me skin). It is affordable and it gives a good coverage. I don't really know how long it really lasts since I've never worn it for 16 hours but like you said it has some staying power.

  3. I used to use this concealer all the time, but I agree it definitely isn't the best drugstore one out there - I found it always used to oxidise on my skin throughout the day! I think the Maybelline SuperStay is a much better drugstore one than this one, would definitely recommend!

  5. I really love this stuff, but only really for using to cover spots - it's definitely not one I'd ever use under my eyes, way too dry!

  6. When I first tried this I also found this was a bit too matte and looked a little cakey so I wasn't too sure. Now I've started using it mixed with Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer and the two work together so well! The Collection concealer provides the coverage whilst the Maybelline adds brightness and looks lovely and dewy too!

  8. I can't believe this is your first time trying it! It's probably one of my favourite products of all time! I'd agree about it not lasting 16 hours though. This will definitely become a staple for you I reckon :)
