I always tell people, if you want high-end but don’t have the money to spare, buy Sephora Collection. Sephora Make No Mistake Full Coverage Concealer If you’re unsure of your shade, Sephora offers the Color IQ service, where they match you with any concealer or foundation in the store. It covers both my undereye circles and any pimples I have perfectly. Nars offer a variety of shades, and they all have great coverage. Nars Radiant Creamy ConcealerĪs I’ve been saying time and time again, this concealer is my HG. I’m including both expensive and affordable products here just so readers get a mix of different recommendations at various price points. That’s why I’m recommending some other brands. AlternativesĪs you can see, I’m not the biggest fan of this NYX concealer. But a concealer? Something I wear constantly? I would rather spend extra on a good quality product. I would spend $6 on lipstick or something similar that I wear occasionally. So just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it isn’t good, but I still have mixed views of NYX. This has also helped their engagement soar. They also partner with unpaid influencers, entrepreneurs, designers, and more, who receive free products and review the products. They do use modern marketing strategies that are affordable, such as social media marketing. To this day, NYX thrives on word-of-mouth. And yes, she has a very small advertising budget. While the theories mentioned above could be true, Ko reveals some secrets. She continued to grow her line and made $2 million in profits in her first year of business.īut after all of these years, NYX products are still priced low. Using her connections in the cosmetics industry, she first started with a few eyeliners and lipliners that sold out in 30 days. That was the vision that founder Toni Ko had. Their amazing sales and smaller advertising budgets are the main theories.īut doing some more digging, reasonably priced yet high-quality cosmetics was the main goal for NYX. While we don’t know for sure, there are a few theories as to why NYX prices their products so low. But a part of me wonders why NYX is so cheap. The other reason I recommend this product is the price. I suggest still using a high-quality powder to set this concealer. Keep in mind, I do set my concealer with the Make Up For Ever HD Powder, which has been my HG for years. But I didn’t have issues with this concealer creasing, slipping off, or fading. Again, the coverage was less than desired, so the longevity doesn’t amount to a lot. The other positive I will say about this concealer is it does seem to last all day. It’s very smooth on the skin and blends like butter. I did have to apply a small dab more on my undereye circles because I didn’t think it did the job well.Īnother reviewer described the product consistency as emollient, which I have to agree with. I simply applied a small swipe under my eye, and it blended quickly with a concealer brush. It blends effortlessly, even better than the Sephora Collection concealers I was using before. The one thing I will give this concealer, and why I especially recommend it as a contour concealer, is the blendability. That and they’re so cheap, you’ll seriously spend less money on two concealers compared to a contour palette. They offer a wide shade range, so you can find a contour and highlight shade. But these NYX concealers would be perfect for contouring. Even Sephora Collection concealers offer impressive coverage. In all due respect, I was using Nars before (which is my HG), and going from Nars to NYX is like going from Olaplex to Suave.ĭoes that mean you shouldn’t use these concealers? If you want coverage, I would suggest Nars or Tarte concealers. But you can make a natural-looking concealer that still covers well. NYX emphasizes this is a natural-looking concealer. It’s not a big deal for me I mainly use concealer under my eyes and as a highlighter, but I’m pale as it is and prefer using concealers that match my skin tone. Unfortunately, I was left with a lighter color. So I was forced to attempt to match myself using the color on the product and pictures of the models on their website. They have a “try it on” feature on their website, but it doesn’t work for me. Finding My Shadeįor being one of the biggest makeup brands today, I’m shocked that NYX doesn’t offer more shade-finding tools. I would like it if NYX included information on its HD benefits, such as if it contains blurring HD technology, but I can’t find any. NYX also carries a massive shade range (though they don’t offer many tools for finding your shade) and even color-correcting options. It’s a very smoothing and blendable concealer, ideal for a variety of skin tones. The HD Photogenic Concealer is a natural-looking concealer that’s in wand packaging.
