Instant Age Rewind Concealer Review


Two posts in two days! We are really on a roll now. I thought I would share my thoughts on the concealer that has everyone raving. The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer is a treatment concealer marketed towards those with more mature skin. I do not have any fine lines as I am in my early twenties; however, I do have dry skin. The great thing about this concealer is how moisturizing and lightweight it is on your skin. I find that it doesn’t settle into pores or the creases under my eyes throughout the day and have not had any problems with it lasting all day (although I do not usually have any problems with that). It covers under-eye circles well and some general discoloration on my face. This does not work well for acne spots though if that is your concern (it is marketed for under-eye circles not face issues). When you first apply the concealer it feels a little slippery and greasy, like it would be too thin to cover anything, but it sets in a few minutes and the feeling goes away.

I have two shades of the concealer. One is the Brightener (left in all pics) which has a pink undertone to help conceal blue shades under the eye and the other is in fair (right in all pics) which is more neutral. I have used the fair shade both under my eyes and on the face. I have owned the fair shade for about a month longer than the brightener hence the level difference.

I really like this concealer and it has quickly become my Holy Grail concealer. I use it every time I wear makeup and it is the only concealer that I have used that looks just as good at the end of the day as when I apply it. I do think the texture may not be everyone’s cup of tea though. If you’re intrigued by the idea of this concealer I would say give it a try as it seems most people are liking it. I don’t think that it has been overhyped at all. I am intrigued by the foundation, but as I have too many foundations at the moment I do not plan on purchasing it anytime soon.
