Avon Ideal Flawless Concealer Stick




Pros:
  • Okay coverage
  • Thick consistency
  • Oil-free
  • Glides well
Cons:
  • Can be chalky
  • Not for problem skin
Aimed at:
  • Everyone
Cost:
  • £7
Personal experience:

This product came free with the eyeprimer and eyemakeup remover when I bought the Avon mega effects mascara. I got it in medium, it had a thick consistency and was quite chalky and exaggerated dry patches. I'd say moisturise well with this concealer especially for those with dry skin. It had okay coverage but wasn't excellent. It feels nice and glides well but would I repurchase? I don't think I would.

Bobbi Brown Corrector


Pros:
  • Good coverage 
  • Quite creamy
  • Erases dark circles
  • Brightens
  • Contains skin conditioners
  • Preps before concealer
  • Lasts all day
  • Suitable to use with either a brush or fingertips
Cons:
  • Price
  • Dries a little too quickly
  • Needs to be set with powder
Aimed at:
  • Under eye darkness
Cost:
  • £18.50 for 1.4g

Personal experience:

I like the consistency but if you don't set it with powder the product will set into any fine lines. Also, you must prep the skin by using a hydrating under eye cream, then applying the corrector to neutralise and for an even better finish add a skin tone concealer or one that is a shade lighter to brighten up the area even more and then set with powder. This tip with moisturising the under eye area is especially for people who have dry undereyes. Just be sure to apply the product in areas that are needed and if too much is applied it will look cakey and unnatural. I think this product is perfect for those who have darkness under the eyes and need that extra bit of coverage without that ashy look that usually comes with concealing and I would definitely repurchase. Look out for my review on the BBU face palette which has all the correctors, concealers and stick foundations, coming soon!
