Clinique All About Eyes Concealer Reviews Photos

We all know the importance of concealers. And I for one can’t have enough of them. I need my concealers to give me full coverage with minimum effort and product. I do not have that much of blemishes on my face, but depending on my hormones and sleep cycle I get visible dark circles and also have pigmentation around my mouth. So concealers are a must product for me. As much as I love sheer coverage products, I cannot get away with a sheer coverage concealer. So I have to go ahead with at least medium to full coverage ones. The Clinique All About Eyes Concealer definitely serves me well in that context. Let’s see a detailed review of the product.

Packaging  – The concealer comes in a white cardboard box with pastel floral design and the name of the brand and details engraved in silver. The actual product comes in a transparent tube packaging with a nozzle at the end to disperse the product.

The packaging is extremely convenient and non-messy. It is very easy to get the right amount of product owing to the nozzle end. Hence there is no wastage of product. The packaging is such that it is very travel friendly.

Shade – Clinique All About Eyes Concealer comes in about 8 shades internationally. The shades being – Light neutral, Light golden, Light petal, Medium petal, Medium beige, Medium honey, Deep honey, Deep golden. But I am not sure if all those shades are available in India.

Moreover the SA’s there swear that Deep Honey is the perfect shade for Indian skin tones. They don’t push you but at the same time you feel like an idiot contradicting them. The shade works well for me, but I doubt it would for the fairer skins. The shade has a peachy undertone which helps in neutralising and concealing my under eye darkness.

Texture & Finish – The texture of the concealer is creamy. It warms up and blends easily when using the ring finger to blend. Though it has a creamy matte finish I would advise to wear an eye cream before applying the concealer, especially if you have dry under eyes.

It tends to come off a little if rubbed, so it’s better to use the ring finger and gently pat the product into place. And since it’s a creamy finish you need to set it with powder or it is bound to crease.

A tiny amount goes a long way in covering your under eye area. I sometimes use it on my eye lids as well as I have pigmented eyelids. Sometimes the oil in the concealer separates. All you need to do is blend them together and use and it works well. Even though it is a cream formula, it is quite light-weight and doesn’t feel heavy under the eyes. I feel the formula and the lightweight quality will work for all skin types.

Pigmentation & Staying Power – The concealer is quite pigmented and a tiny amount is enough to cover all the pigmentation and darkness under the eyes and over the lids. It also covers the discolouration around my mouth.

The peach undertone acts as a corrector for my discolouration and conceals the area perfectly. But owing to the shade I cannot use it on any other blemishes on the face if any. I usually use this concealer under my foundation. Because even though it works for the pigmentation it has a visible difference from my skin tone. So to match it properly I use it under my foundation.

Darker skin tones will have an easier time working with this shade. The staying power of Clinique All About Eyes Concealer is very long. Once set with powder it stays on for 10 hours plus more. The max I have worn it is for 10 hours and change and it did stay on. It stays on in both summers and winters. So it’s a concealer for all seasons.

Overall Thoughts

Clinique All About Eyes Concealer is creamy but lightweight full coverage concealer which works well in neutralising and cancelling the under eye darkness. It blends easily into the skin and gives a smooth application.

It is a pigmented formula hence a tiny amount goes a long way. Once set with powder it stays on for a long time. All the same apply a gentle eye cream under the eyes before applying the concealer. This particular shade may not work for fairer skin tones but the concealer will fare well on all skin types. Definitely recommend.

Rating  – 4.5/5 (-0.5 for the shade)
