Dark Circles are the worst enemies one can ever get. While I confess that I am a ‘conceal-aholic’ with tons of concealers in my makeup collection – I am always in search of that perfect concealer. I have tried several different almost every brands – high end and drugstore. While I have found some of my favorites from the bunch I tried. I was absolutely bowled by the performance of this L.A.

Packaging – These concealers has a brush applicator built into the packaging which makes it easy to apply the product. But at the same time I’m not a big fan of it. I have to constantly clean the brush head after each use or the product on it will dry up and make the concealer harder to dispense.

I purchased the shades – Toast, Orange corrector, Warm honey, Toffee, Pure Beige & Cool Tan. I purchased mine from Nykaa I have also ordered few more shades which are on their way to me. Once I receive them. I will swatch it in this post. let me know whether you guys’d love to see a video review on how I apply these
Shade, Formula, Pigmentation
L.A. Girl PRO Conceal HD Concealers have a thick texture and applies very creamy. It dries very quickly and so, One has to be really quick in blending the product. I use my trusted original damp beauty blender to apply this.. The formula is great for all skin types. I use a primer & eye cream prior to applying these.. These settle onto a really nice matte finish and it doesn’t feel or look cakey if applied correctly. If you have fine lines on your under eye area. You might have to use a really hydrating eye cream and this tend to settle onto fine lines if not properly set. I recommend setting it with a loose powder – translucent powder to prevent it from budging.
These are highly pigmented and especially the color corrector – You need only a teeny amount. So, Be careful while dispensing the product. I use Toast & Toffee for contouring and for concealer – I use Warm honey. and for highlighter I use Pure Beige. I have ordered Creamy Beige which is my perfect highlighter shade – I am yet to receive it. Creamy Beige was OOS at the time I ordered.
These are available in 24 shades and every skin tone can find a perfect color match.
Pure Beige can be a perfect concealer shade if you are MAC NC40/42 skintone.
Toast/Tofee can be the prefect contouring shades for every skintype.
Creamy Beige is the perfect highlighter shade. if you have a pale skintone – get the shade – Natural for highlighting.
Orange Corrector can be used for color correcting. If you have redness- Get the green corrector instead.
Longevity
These are the best affordable/ drugstore concealers I’ve ever used. Coverage is medium to full. Covers dark circles, redness, pigmentation/ spots/ blemishes/acne. Staying power after setting with translucent powder is awesome and lasts about 6-7 hours without creasing/fading.
More Pictures & Swatches
L.A Girl HD Pro Concealers are one of the best drugstore concealers available. They have a wide shade selection, applies smooth and creamy. Settles to a matte finish. These suit every skin type. For normal under eye area, these are quite hydrating. These dries pretty quickly. So, You have to blend and set it fast. I use my favorite damp beauty blender to blend it and then set the concealer using Ben Nye Translucent Powder. If you have fine lines on under eye area/extremely dry under eye area- Make sure you use a hydrating eye cream prior to applying this and then set it with a loose powder. These lasts about 6-7 hours without fading/creasing. I am looking forward to try more shades. Will post the new swatches when I receive them.
