Collection Lasting Perfection 16 Hour Wear Concealer

 There is no need for me to introduce this product to you I'm sure, its a holy grail product for many people, and it has been for years. Ive been using this beauty since i was 13, so a good 4 years now. It was the first concealer i ever used, and i haven't tried any others since, as I've not felt the need to. This concealer ticks every box for me, for the following reasons:  
  • It is pretty much full coverage, it covers literally everything
  • It is long lasting - maybe not 16 hours like it claims but a good 6 hours plus, which many products don't do.
  • It is as cheap as chips, £4.19 a pop and one tube can last up to 4 months
  • Its not oily - i have oily skin, although it wouldn't matter if this was oily as i wear powder, but this can be worn on its own, no foundation or powder and your skin looks 10 times better than it did before 
  • The doe foot applicator makes for easy application and brings up the right amount of product, not too much and not too little, unless you are coming to the end of a tube
The only negative about this product is that the packaging is cheap and all the writing comes off almost instantly. This may bother alot of people but to be honest it doesn't bother me at all, i know what the product is, i know how much i paid for it so cheap packaging is expected and doesn't effect the quality of the actual product. Concealers aren't supposed to be the most glamorous of makeup products anyway!



Many people like this as an under eye concealer, i don't have dramatically dark circles so i cant notice it doing alot of good under my eyes, i do however love it for covering up blemishes and spot scars, now that i can see a difference, especially during that time of the month. 



On Collections website they claim it to be water resistant and transfer proof, which i agree with to some extent. Obviously no product is 100% water resistant or transfer proof, but id say this concealer is about 85%. 

For a product to have me hooked for 4 years without feeling the need to go looking elsewhere, i think it has to be pretty damn good. I would recommend this to anyone, regardless of the amount you wish to conceal. This concealer will be a staple in my makeup bag until the day its taken off the shelves, for which i hope is NEVER!
