THE BEAUTY BOOSTER

Not content as just a cover-up, Revlon’s new skincare-infused, hydrating concealer is a true multi-tasker that works harder to brighten, depuff and perfect your skin.

When was the last time you bought a concealer that really delivered on everything you were after?

In general, concealers are intended to even out skin tone and disguise imperfections. In reality, concealers come in different consistencies that are often good only for one approach. For example: a thicker, pomadetype concealer in a pot is useful for disguising blemishes because it has more opaque pigment that blocks out redness and won’t wear off. A thinner, more liquid concealer is necessary for covering dark circles under the eyes, where skin is delicate and moves more, so a lighter product is less likely to crease or bunch in fine lines.

It means you may need to have more than one to hand as it’s rarely possible to find a concealer that does it all. If you’re more of a beauty minimalist or want to get your routine done quickly so you can get out the door faster in the morning, juggling multiple concealers is not always an option.

It’s why Revlon’s new ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer is set to cause a buzz in the beauty world. A true combination of concealer talents, it’s not only designed to cover and perfect different areas of your face, it’s easy to use, feels great on skin and has skincare benefits designed for a beauty boost that lasts even after you’ve taken your makeup off.

Much as the name suggests, the concealer has five key talents:

1

ERASE

The soft tube applicator with an antibacterial sponge tip delivers a high-pigment formula just where you need it and goes on with a featherweight consistency. With no need for extra brushes, it quickly adds coverage that has a natural finish but if you keep dabbing it quickly, builds to full coverage to banish blemishes without appearing obvious or caking around dry areas or flaky patches.

PERFECT 2

The light and creamy formula feels weightless and fresh, and blends seamlessly into skin with the tip or your fingers. Once it’s on, the concealer flexes with skin but won’t slide around or settle into pores, wrinkles or fine lines so it’s ideal to perfect and brighten dark circles under your eyes.

HYDRATE 3

Added emollients and skinloving ingredients in the formula leave skin feeling moisturised all day. It’s also free from added parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and fragrance to ensure skin stays in great shape. 4

BRIGHTEN

While its pigments deliver a quick fix for dull skin and dark areas, the concealer is also infused with skincare ingredients caffeine, which quickly works to improve puffiness, and vitamin C to help promote healthy and resilient skin, even skin tone, and brighten – even after the concealer is washed away.

REFRESH 5

The concealer feels comfortable, moves with skin and feels fresh rather than exacerbating dryness like some options do. It remains that way even while remaining transfer-proof and offering up to 24 hours of wear.

New Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer, $28, comes in six shades including one universal brightening shade and one neutralising shade that counteracts redness. Try now at Farmers stores or shop online at farmers.co.nz revlonanz.com @RevlonANZ
