Concealers are an important part of any makeup routine and when my MAC concealer broke I decided to give another the Maybelline Fit me concealer a try. Although Maybelline is a drug store brand and readily available in most places I haven’t tried any of their complexion products, I love their Great Lash Mascara.
At the moment Maybelline is readily available at most malls in Nigeria so I headed over to their counter at Jabi Lake mall to get a few products including the Fit me concealer.
Appearance and packaging
It comes in a thin tube with a wand applicator and has the shade number written at the top. The tube is in a black matte top with the shade number at the top and I was given the shade 40.
How to use
It is really easy to use; I pull out the applicator wand from the container and place the product in a semi-circle around below my eye getting up to my temple. I then blend it out using a brush or a beauty blender. However, I find that the brush does not quite blend it out properly and I haven’t gotten the hang of using the beauty blender under my eye at least for this specific concealer. Once it is properly blended I set it with a finely milled powder to prevent creasing.
Pros
- Affordable and easily accessible
- It has a light formula which is easy to apply and blend
Cons
- The packaging, I am not a fan of products which have an applicator which comes in contact with the skin and is then reinserted into the tube. The possibility of introducing infection is high
- The shade chosen for me did not work it made my under eye look extremely grey which I didn’t like
- It also creased even after setting with a powder
Who is it for?
Anyone, it works on all skin types as long as you get the right shade
Cost
N3, 500
Rating
Performance: 4/5
The overall performance was good, my only gripe is that the shade I was given does not work well with my skin tone so gives my under eye a grey look. However, apart from the colour, it works great.
Quality: 5/5
The quality of the product is great and it compares favourably with other more expensive concealers.
Value for money 4/5
The Fit me concealer is affordable and does what is supposed to cover blemishes and hide dark circles under the eye.
Ease of use 5/5
It is extremely easy to use and the product is very creamy which makes the application smooth. There is no need for extra effort trying to blend it out properly.
Overall rating 4/5
The Maybelline fit me concealer ticks all the boxes, it is affordable effective and accessible and has a decent shade range (12) which means it will work for most complexions.
