Review: Aritaum Full cover liquid concealer

Hello hello! And again, I’m back lol First of all I want to apologize for this HUNOMENAL lack of posts. It’s been almost 6 months since my last post. These 6 months were enormously hard for me. You know, being alone in such a big city as Moscow, living in dorm, pretending to be an adult… Oh, I didn’t mention before but right now I’m living in Moscow and studying at Moscow State University. Huge city, no personal space, university and 17 yrs old hiki girl? Well, this combination is totally not the perfect one.

During this time so much has happened and I’ve been wondering if I could ever come back to blogging. Coz I had 2 or 3 almost finished posts but… I had a strange mental wall so didn’t really want to write or edit photos. And also this situation in Russia, it is simply too expensive to be a beauty blogger right now :DDD

But couple weeks ago I woke up and thought “Hmmm, I wanna blogging again”. But it’s not as easy as I thought it would be. Too lazy panda, remember? So today I want to share with you my review on Aritaum Full cover liquid concealer in #2 Natural Beige that was sponsored by ibuybeauty. It has been written in September but somehow I forgot to post it in blog so finally here it is.

Description

Packaging


The packaging is similar to the bb cream’s one, pretty simple but modern looking tube however it is a bit rounder and much smaller. The print on the tube is awesome as well and makes me feel happier when I look at it. The hole is very small and it is perfect for such a pigmented product.

And size. SIZE! There are 25 ml of product! Can you imagine, 25 ml! Some people name it the dupe to MAFE Full cover concealer I have never tried it before but if it is so I think it is much cheaper to buy Aritaum concealer.

Texture


The concealer is pretty thick but melts from the body heat and blends very easily. The formula is not drying so it feels and looks natural even on top of the blemishes as well as under the eyes. But if you have any dry patches you should be careful with this product. As you can see it accentuated a little spot on my nose and some bumps around my mouth.

Shade


Like a bb cream, concealer has only 2 shades: Light Beige and Natural beige. The color of the second one is beige with yellow undertone. As you can see the shade doesn’t match the bb cream but after setting this difference disappears.

Application

I prefer using my fingers to apply this concealer. Clean fingers and patting motions give you the fullest coverage and the most natural finish.

Finish


The finish of the concealer is semi matte and also less glowy that the bb cream’s one. I find this product pretty similar to MAC Pro Longwear concealer, the only difference is the texture coz Pro Longwear is a liquid concealer. Also I don’t recommend to use this product alone if you have big pores. As you can see my pores are the same size on both photos.

Adaptation

It does not really adapt to my skincolor, maybe becomes less yellow. But it is not such a big difference.

Coverage

Unlike the bb cream from the same line the concealer is very pigmented and the coverage is literally full. Unfortunately it does not cover some of my acne from the first layer but the combination bb cream + concealer is enough even for my active acne and dark spots.

Oil-control

I can’t tell you if it has any oil control coz I’ve never used it alone.

Sent

It has the same scent as the bb cream, sunscreen scent. I don’t know if it’s good or not it is really strong but not intrusive.

Pros 
Full coverage
Huge amount of product
Yellow undertone
+ Easy application
+ Natural finish

Cons
 Only 2 shades
 Strong scent
Accentuating imperfections
Doesn’t hide my pores

Rating : 4+ / 5

In total


I absolutely in love with this line. Both concealer and bb cream have some cons but in total they are almost everything that I need. Good coverage, natural finish, acceptable price and big amount of product. I use this combination on a daily basis and can’t tell you how much I love it! 

Where to buy

You can get this concealer from ibuybeauty
