After pulling a few too many late nights and binging on junk food to get me through this massive campaign project (how ironic that I'm posting at 7:30 am and I haven't slept yet... all nighters are so disorienting), the only things saving me from looking like a pizza-faced zombie are these two trusty concealers. I've already gone through several tubes of the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in light, but upon repurchasing for the third (or fourth?) time, I decided to try the Brightener. It's got a salmony tone that works great at livening up my face and bringing some much needed TLC to these bad boy eyebags. The coverage is superb and it blends super easily, lasting all day and hiding the reality of my under-rested state. I like the brightener more than the regular light color because it really perks up my undereyes. I've also been enjoying the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Light to take care of some pesky spots. I've been breaking out around my chin/mouth but this really takes care of the redness. I also like to use this around my nose to deemphasize pores and it does a solid job. I've heard it's a dupe for the NARS Creamy Concealer but I've never tried the high-end one so I guess I'm not of much help, just thought it might be useful information for those who have tried the pricier NARS one! The Fit Me Concealer doesn't last all day as I would have hoped, but it's one of the creamiest and best coverage concealers I've tries. Considering my "day" usually lasts around 14-16 hours I'm quite content with its performance since it gets me through at least the average school day!
