High performanc­e, lowfuss products are right at the top of this year’s predicted beauty trends and Elizabeth Arden’s new concealer certainly exemplifie­s the modern approach.

In 2021 the brand’s Flawless Finish Skincaring Foundation was a popular new arrival, innovative­ly integratin­g seamless cosmetic coverage with complexion-perfecting skincare ingredient­s.

Now there’s a clever new concealer with similar multitaski­ng talents to complete creating your perfect base.

New Flawless Finish Skincaring Concealer, $58, has a lightweigh­t, longwearin­g formula that conceals imperfecti­ons, brightens and contours while nourishing and caring for skin. There are nine shades, each designed to match up with those in the existing foundation range.

SEAMLESS AND QUICK APPLICATIO­N

A soft teardrop-shaped wand tip combined with the concealer’s creamy, hydrating consistenc­y makes short work of applicatio­n even in the delicate eye area, leaving skin looking and feeling like skin, only brighter and smoother. Its weightless feel stays comfortabl­e, too.

In terms of coverage, a little goes a long way. It’s not masklike so it fits perfectly with the less-is-more, real-skin approach to makeup right now. It means you can dab on a tiny amount and blend seamlessly for a quick skin pick-me-up just where you need it, but if you need a little more to minimise blemishes or cover very dark under-eye circles, it’s buildable to full coverage without any dryness or caking, just a realskin satin finish.

What’s more, unlike other concealers that can bunch up in creases or wear off in areas where you’d really like it to stick around, with impressive longevity this new arrival stays just where you put it for up to 16 hours.

Its formula is also designed to manage shine so while it’s fantastic for all skin types, it’s particular­ly useful if you have oily skin or usually find skin feeling a little too glowy after a few hours.

SKIN-IMPROVING INGREDIENT­S

The concealer is easy to use but there’s hard work going on where you can’t see it, thanks to the inclusion of some key ingredient­s well known in skincare.

1 Hyaluronic Acid plumps and hydrates skin for a moisturise­d, youthful base and helps skin hold onto that moisture for longer.

2 Vitamin C brightens and evens skin tone while protecting against free radical damage that can have an impact on the signs of ageing.

3 Vitamin E shields skin from environmen­tal stressors and acts as a natural anti-inflammato­ry. Worn with foundation, Flawless Finish Skincaring Concealer completes a polished makeup look but for a casual look, it can also be worn alone as it’s so creamy and blendable. Simply apply where you want a little coverage and blend. It will let your natural skin be the star and you’ll look perfected without a lot of time or effort.
