Collection claim that their Lasting Perfection Concealer is a ‘lightweight, second-skin matte concealer a smooth, crease-free soft base’ and I would say they’re being perfectly legit. No sales fluff here, gals and guys — this is the real deal! At the minute, the new Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer is only available at selected retailers which right now I believe is just Boots. If I had to use only one makeup product for the rest of my life, I would choose concealer every single time. As someone who is prone to acne scarring, has chronic dark circles and spends a lot of time trying to minimise her uneven skin tone, it's safe to say I rely heavily on concealer. Considering I don't really wear foundation, I use concealer in a myriad of ways. Not only does it disguise my under-eye bags, eradicate any signs of breakouts and cover up any redness, but it also works to even out my skin in a way that just leaves me feeling better about myself. Collection have recently revamped this concealer, so I thought there was no better time to write a review. Does it still top my list of drugstore concealers? Let’s take a little look at my honest review of the Lasting Perfection Concealer… Shade 8 Beige - For light to medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 1B, Warm FairThere’s now a fair shade range catering to numerous skin tones and undertones, which I’m sure will grow even more with time. Here’s what’s available: And this is me with my finished makeup. The concealer is the only thing I used for coverage, before following with Collection’s pressed powder in translucent. Okay, I’ve rambled for long enough now — if you’ve got this far (props to you), you probably wanna see this thing in action. Moral of the story? Even though this concealer boasts incredible coverage, it’s not cakey or obvious like you might expect. Okay, I’m not saying it’ll look like you have no makeup on whatsoever, but it is incredibly blendable and creamy. I love it so much, in fact, that I’d call it my single biggest makeup favourite of all time. If I could have one product to my name, it’d be this!

Shade 6 Cashew - For light skin tones with a golden neutral undertone. Previously named 1A Cool Fair As we add more shades to our Lasting Perfection range, a few shade codes/names will change. During these changes, no change was made to the shade colouring of our original shades, the only change is the shade name/code and introduction of new shades. To find your perfect match, please refer to the images and list of shade. Go 1-2 shades lighter to contour, choose a concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight, and add definition to your cheekbones

Shade 10 Buttermilk - For medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 3, Warm Medium This long-lasting miracle working concealer helps cover and conceal whilst fighting those nasty blemishes and visible pores. It soothes and softens the appearance of visible pores, uneven skin tones and fine lines. This flawlessly vegan concealer is suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or rosacea-prone skin. With up to 16 hours of waterproof coverage, Lasting Perfection Blemish Concealer keeps your complexion perfectly put and flawless all day long. It’s definitely long-lasting, and I could easily go a whole day (say, 8 am to 8 pm) without touching up and still feeling content with the state of my face. As with most makeup products, it does show some signs of wear after a whole day of wear — it creases a little under the eyes and redness slowly starts to peak through — but compared to others I’ve tried, it’s still a winner.

If you’re looking for something affordable but with amazing coverage, this is your jam. I’ve seriously struggled with my skin but hid it from practically everyone I knew for years — which, if you’ve read my blog, was totally not the right decision. But regardless of that story, it did an amazing job at covering up my red, swollen, cystic acne.

For the coverage this concealer offers, combined with how creamy and blendable the formula is, I honestly don’t believe there’s a better concealer on the market. In fact, I’d call it the best concealer for acne in the UK. And that comes from someone who had cystic acne for 10 years — I’m a good concealer tester, let me tell you! To sculpt and contour, use a concealer 1-4 shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight, & another 1-4 shades darker to contour. Apply lighter shade down the nose, under the eye and centre of the forehead to illuminate. Use the darker shade to add dimension to your face, contouring your cheekbones, jawline and hairlineOkay, my under eyes do look a little cakey here — but that was down to me applying too much powder to dry skin, not the concealer. I used to use this to spot conceal my angry spots and cysts. I’d apply a small dab straight onto the centre of the spot and blend it out with a clean finger or sponge. If a spot was particularly prominent, I would sometimes have to go in with a second layer — but after doubling up, the redness would always be gone.
