Review : NYX Concealer in a Jar in Light, Beige and Medium

I love NYX especially their Concealer! I read online its a great dupe for the MAC Studiofinish concealer for a fraction of the price.. I've heard so many good things about this tiny jar and after reading Nikki of Askmewhats' Product Review, I decided to give this little guy a shot!


According to N.Y.X. :
"Provides natural & lasting coverage of discolorations & imperfections without looking caked-on or clumpy. Super concentrated so just a little will do the job."



WHAT I LIKE:

* its affordable! Got the Beige & Medium shade from MakeupMasala for $3.50 each, while the Light shade from a swap.

* very creamy, a little goes a long way

* lightweight feeling when applied all over my eyes

* doesn't crease & longlasting (make sure to set with loose powder). I'm using Skinfood's Buckwheat loose powder in #21

* very handy coz of its size.


WHAT I DON'T LIKE:

* not available here in the Philippines
* difficult to choose colors online; that's why I bought 3 shades!
* coverage is sheer, did not totally cover my dark undereye circles.



NYX Concealer in a Jar in Light, Beige, Medium

Light - has a slight pink undertone. A bit light on my skintone but I use this on my undereye circles to lighten them. I think it will match NC15-20 skintones with pink undertones.

Beige - Perfect match! Perfect for NC20-25, with yellow undertones.

Medium - slightly dark on me. I think this shade will suit typical Pinay's with NC30-35 skintones.

Swatch time!!



Light, Beige and Medium

Note: Light shade matches my inner arm (i have slightly pink undertones here) while the Beige shade matches my face (with slightly yellow undertones).
Weird huh?! Maybe I have Neutral undertones? Enlighten me ladies! hehe

Let me know what concealer/s worked for you.. Xiao!

Another great review from you! Thanks Khymm. I think I will check these concealers out. But--do they break you out? I have heard that these contain mineral oil and it's not very good for the oily and acne prone (which I am both).

Thanks Chrissy!!
Yes, one of the ingredients is Mineral Oil. I only apply it on my undereyes and pimple marks. Luckily, it didn't break me out.. =)

also am a die hard for these little pots! The only thing I hate is the smell other and yea the fact that it is not available here in the phils. :[ never tried mac concealers but I tested them from the MAC couter @ shang and i'm not that impressed.. maybe becoz it just performs a lil bit much than my NYX beige. luv luv luv it. Thanks for the review. :]

Ida said...

yay, great review. thanks for the swatches of the 3, that's a good comparison of the 3 shades :)

Pammy said...

Excellent review sis. You're right, medium resembles MAC studio finish concealer in nc35. Beige does look like nc30 to me. The swatches are really helpful. ^_^

Yay! And I thought I was the only one that had slightly pink AND slightly yellow undertones xD Maybe we are called Neutral =P

hi khymm, i like your blog, i was so confused on what shade to choose since i havent seen the concealer itself.. i have pink undertones and fair skin.. you said that the LIGHT concealer matches pink undertones.. I have to choose between FAIR and LIGHT.. and what is the " NC15-20 skintone" thing? how would i know my skin tone? is there any site that you can recommend for me to understand that skintone thing.. :) thank you.. i really like your blog..
