Anastasia Beverly Hills Concealer Swatches & Review

Listen, as long as my under eyes need brightening and dark spots follow my pimples, I will always want to try new concealers. Especially since it’s summer in just a few days (and hopefully it stays summer), I love concealers because I can spot treat where needed and then just set with powder when it’s just too daggone hot to be fussing around with foundation. My latest conquest comes via Anastasia Beverly Hills Concealer. (samples sent for review consideration)

The range comes in 10 shades which I found to be impressive—more than likely you have a coverage option in the lineup of course depending on what it is you’re trying to cover up. These will give you FULL coverage. The little pots might seem skimpy to you upon first glance, but you’ll need SO very little product (unless you’re like camouflaging an entire football team or something) so it’ll last you a really long time.

Here’s a chart to help you out more with figuring out which shade to get

I use shade 7 to cover dark spots (it has a good amount of honey in its undertones to correct darkness) and shade 4.5 to brighten/highlight my under eye area and to highlight in general and I set the highlight with Ben Nye Coco Tan powder.

The concealers cover well but thankfully doesn’t feel heavy. If you have wrinkles or fine lines, I’d suggest using a primer first to help smooth the area and prevent creasing and settling though I didn’t have an issue with creasing or settling in the lines under my eyes. It holds up well throughout the day, too—no issues on my oily skin.

There’s also an Anastasia Concealer Brush which if you’re doing spot correction will help with getting the right amount of product without wasting it (remember a little goes a long way with these), but I personally won’t use it much because I tend to use concealer on larger areas like my under eye more and my beautyblender is perfect for me to blend that out.

Bottom line: Worth checking out if you’re looking for a full coverage concealer. I could see more range in both shades and undertones, but the 10-shade range is still pretty impressive.
