Bare Minerals Complete Coverage Serum Concealer

COVERAGE: Medium

FINISH: Dewy & Luminous

Skip the eye cream with this eye serum-concealer hybrid product from Bare Minerals.

Thanks to its anti-ageing serum content, this concealer hybrid is both creamy and hydrating, light to wear and leaves a beautiful natural, dewy, ‘I just moisturised’ finish. Being super hydrating, you definitely don’t need to concern yourself with this looking cakey or sticking to dry flaky skin. This hero concealer by Bare Minerals applies smoothly with just a dot or two of product blended out under the eye for a sheer, seemless, luminous finish. And the added benefit? It stays put throughout the day!

While this is marketed as a ‘complete coverage’ concealer, I would say this Bare Minerals concealer is more of a medium coverage compared to the host of alternative ‘full’, or ‘complete’ coverage concealers on the market. This is ideal for those seeking a natural looking, light-weight under eye concealer as opposed to the opaque heavier finish of some other full coverage concealers. For those who prefer more coverage i.e. those who wish to block out their natural skin, pigmentation/discolouration issues etc., I find this product adds a beautiful natural yet luminous finish to the face when applied on top of another full(er) coverage concealer as per my tip in the blog intro.

The only downside I have found to this fabulous product is the very limited shade range and Bare Minerals would do well to consider widening its range to include the porcelain/alabaster skin toned and darker skin shades.
