Rimmel lasting perfection concealer review

Hello, everyone today I'm going to be giving you all a review!

Im going to be reviewing my current favourite concealer which is the Rimmel lasting finish concealer. Its a high coverage concealer which makes it great for hiding dark circles and spots. Now this retails at £5.49 (very specific) in Boots which would be around $8.59 by my calculations so is definitely an affordable product. 


So this concealer comes in a small rounded tub meaning its easy to fit into a handbag or school bag so is perfect for travelling round with. As for my rating of the packaging id give it a 6/10 as it doesn't exactly give off a classy look but how can i complain when its a drug store product at a low price, as for combustion i have dropped it many many times and it still hasn't broken.


So the picture above is of the product when its opened,  i hope you can see that in the photo (its not exactly clear so i do apologise) but i have hit pan in the middle! whilst this portrays how much i have loved and used this product it also shows how you don't actually get a huge amount of product in each tub however this has lasted me over the past month and I'm not even half way through.


In this photo you can see how pigmented the concealer is which is why i love it so much as it gives a really good coverage for those dark under eye circles and pesky pimples that i get. I have the lightest shade as i am extremely pale like a snowball so this works for both my under eyes and spots! unfortunately the colour range is a let down as they only offer 3 different colour shades so you are limited in that factor unfortunately.
Now this is a photo of a before and after, on the left you have me bare faced and facially naked on the internet :0 and as you can see i have a real problem with darkness around my eye which I'm most certainly not confident about and you can also see there where i have had a spot on my nose and it has left a mark. On the right (with a lighting change) i have applied the concealer and you can now no longer see the red mark on my nose or the blue/ purple mark around my eye area so i would give this a high rating and would recommend that you buy this if your looking for a high coverage concealer. However a con to this product is that it doesn't stay on my face all day it tends to go a bit patchy or slid off but not a lot, i therefore put a lot of powder on to keep it in place and my skin isn't oily so for me that is a major let down!

Overall i would give this product a 7/10 as i really do find that it covers any imperfections that i have but the fact that i keep having to re apply this throughout the day if i want continuous coverage is a major let down.

I really hope you enjoyed reading this! love Amy xx
