Gucci Gucci Beauty Concentré de Beauté

Wasn’t too convinced when I first got it but I’m glad I gave it a chance and fell in love over time. Works a dream along with the Gucci powder, it is a medium coverage concealer but it’s buildable. The formula is light and blendable and there’s no creasing to under eyes when set with a powder. Love it, just wish it was less pricey :)

After using the same drugstore concealer for a while, I was as bit skeptical about this one which retails for 42€.   Well I’m here to tell you I was wrong! This Gucci concealer is great. The shade range is very nice - I’ve got the lightest shade and it works perfectly.  The texture is nice - it blends out easily  and looks undetectable. It’s satin/matte and what I like about it is that it doesn’t dry the skin and stays on for a long time. When it comes to the coverage, it’s also great - works great to hide darkness under the eyes and correct some blemishes or other discolorations.  The packaging is gorgeous - sturdy and very pretty. The only thing I’d change is id make the applicator a bit bigger but that’s just my personal preference. Now the real question: would I repurchase it for 42€ once I’ve used it up? I actually think I might! I do think that higher end foundations and concealers are generally worth it, since a lot of times the ingredient list is just better, so I’d say it’s worth a splurge 👌🏻

+ Very blendable + Natural finish + Little to no creasing + Very natural look   - Coverage could be more - Just okay staying power COVERAGE  Though the Sephora website labels this as a full-coverage concealer, I have to disagree. This concealer is very natural and blendable. Some of your natural skin will definitely peek out from under it, especially if you have some blemishes (aka me). It’s very buildable though and doesn’t get cakey with repeated application.  FINISH  I absolutely adore the finish on this concealer! As a combo-skin person most time of the year, I love the skin-like finish this leaves your skin with. No awkward matte or shiny spots where you applied it. WEAR The wear of this concealer is okay, but don’t expect this to stay through your night out on the town. I tested this concealer on its own however, without any primer, setting or finishing spray, so these items may prolong the wear of the product.  SCENT A veryyy faint floral smell, but not unpleasant at all. It just gives it that extra Gucci *oomph*. Speaking of that… PACKAGING Now, listen-as someone that’s never had any Gucci product before, ever, I was amazed by the packaging. It felt dainty and cute, and just so Gucci. From the bit of gold to the floral pattern, I love it. The applicator is the exact right size too-small enough for detailed application too.  BEFORE/AFTER In the after pic the only product that I used on my skin was the concealer, applied on my chin, under-eyes  and smile lines. 

This concealer is perfect for everyday use for people with moderate dark circles. It has a pleasant texture, it is easy to apply and a little product goes a long way. It doesn't "cake" and it stays where it's supposed to for the whole day. I have severe dark circles and for me the result was not spectacular...
