Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer Review.. ♥

I remember reading a wonderful review over on Holly Arabella’s fantastic beauty blog just before Christmas on the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. Often this brand is looked upon as being low priced and stereotyped as therefore not being very good quality and suited more towards the teen market. Being an elder at 21 myself, I rarely purchase Collection 2000 products; apart from their bronzing powder which I love! So once I read Holly’s glowing review on this new concealer, I thought I would give it a try too!

It claims to be an ultimate wear concealer which conceals flaws, imperfections and blemishes for up to 16 hours. It is transfer proof and water resistant for full and long lasting coverage, and provides beautiful, shine-free, blemish-free skin.

It comes in 4 shades to suit a variety of skin colours. I chose the Medium shade for my skin.  I bought this from Boots last week when it was reduced to £3.49, but the regular price is £4.19. I think this price is very reasonable and not ‘too cheap’ to compromise quality.

The concealer comes in a clear basic tube, so you can see the shade colour without opening it. It has a twist off lid which contains a sponge applicator wand. The consistency of the concealer is quite thick and not runny, and it goes onto the skin very smoothly which makes it very blendable. It does an excellent job of concealing dark eye circles and hiding any red patches, spots, or blemishes and imperfections. It does a lasting job – although I’m not sure on 16 hours – but it does last from morning until the early evening. It is easy to touch up on the go if necessary.

The swatch shows how opaque the formula is and creamy. Once blended it provides a natural matte base. In the photo you can even see that it has covered up a small burn patch on my middle finger knuckle very effectively! Overall I am very impressed with this product from Collection 2000 and next time I am looking to try a new beauty product it will be a brand that I will definitely consider. This concealer is a bargain and is excellent quality for the price and it does a good job of hiding those bags under my eyes!
