Review : NYX HD Photogenic Concealer Wand
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
Seeing that one of my favorite concealers from Revlon (Colorstay Blemish Concealer) is now being discontinued, it's time to search for a new one that will do the job. I searched high and low for a similar texture and found NYX's HD Photogenic Concealer in Beige. I've already included this in one of my monthly faves, but never posted a full review on it. Without further ado, here it is.
NYX HD Concealer Wand

| My shade is Beige |

| It's hydrating, perfect for everyday use and one of the best sellers from NYX. At least, that what the three symbols on top means. |

How I Use It
I take a small dab and placed on the back of my hand. I take a fluffy eye blending brush, pat a little amount of concealer on the bristles and apply it on the blemishes present on my face.
What I Like About It
- It's quite affordable, retailing at Rp 70,000 (prices may vary) at most online shops
- The bottle itself is small and thin, so it doesn't take up much space in my makeup bag
- It has 12 shades to choose from, also has color corrector shades (green and violet)
- It doesn't break me out
- The texture is slightly creamy, but blends easily with either a brush or fingertips
- Staying power is around 4-5 hours on my face when set with powder and around 2-3 hours when it's not set
- The pigmentation is wonderful, so I don't need a lot of products for my blemishes, which results in a natural looking makeup
- It provides a medium coverage on me, hence able to cover my acne scars
What I Hate About It
- I wish it's packaged in a squeeze tube for hygienic purposes

Summary
I would recommend this to :
- Someone who has mild, non pitted acne scars and wants to cover it, yet still looks natural
- Someone who has normal/combination/dry skin type because it is a bit hydrating so the finish will be slightly dewy

It sounds like a great concealer, especially considering the price point. I'm very curious about the green and lavender tints - never saw a liquid concealer in these colours!
ReplyDeleteNice review, aku dari dulu pengen beli concealer tapi slalu ga jadi, krn bingung mau beli yg mana sempet ngelirik baviphat juga, hihi :D. n kulitku kombinasi jd mikir2 dulu deh. lol XD
ReplyDeleteSuki, price tag is pretty cheap and worth for this kind of performance. I haven't seen the color correctors here, tough. ^^
ReplyDeleteCominica, kamu tuh ga perlu pake concealer kayanya... --" baviphat yang mana concealernya?
Its an amazing product. As a makeup artist i always have clients who ask for affordable products which are inexpensive not cheap. The brand NYX as a whole is amazing, but this concealer in particular has such a dewy, natural finish, and are flawless when paired with the color correctors and some powder.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you buy it??thank you:))
