COVERAGE: Medium to Full
FINISH: Satin
Besides the fact that Charlotte Tilbury’s products are not tested on animals and are vegan friendly which is obviously ace, her Magic Away Concealer is also free from alcohol irritants, parabens and mica (which is known to give flashback).
Described as the makeup equivalent of ‘Spanx for the under eye area’ due to it’s patent stretch or flex technology, this wonder product applies seamlessly and ultra smoothly appearing like a second skin, especially on the delicate eye area. It feels totally weightless when applied, does not crease or settle into the dreaded wrinkles and is excellent at concealing dark circles with fab durability throughout the day.
It is marketed as full coverage and illuminating with colour correcting pigments. Whilst it definitely brightens the under eye area amazingly, I wouldn’t say it is entirely FULL coverage compared to other alternatives on the market but the coverage is a solid medium to full and buildable via the sponge applicator which dispenses just the right amount of product via the click and twist mechanism at the base of the wand thereby making it difficult to use too much product. It blends out beautifully with a light finger tapping motion (no need for brushes and sponges), dries to a satin like opaque finish, almost like a magic brightening veil that also tightens and blurs as well…. ideal!
Remember: if using this in the under eye area to conceal, brighten and to give your peeper’s both ‘light and lift’, select a shade that is one to two tones lighter than your skin’s natural tone. With 16 shades in total to choose from, and skin types divided into Fair, Medium, Tan or Dark skin tones, you have a choice of four separate tones in each of these tonal categories to ensure you find a shade that’s right for you.
