Benefit Fake Up Hydrating Concealer Review & Giveaway

Benefit's new hydrating crease-control concealer

Benebabes out there, you're going to go OMG over the latest product from Benefit Cosmetics! It's going to be available next month at all Benefit Cosmetic Malaysia counters. What's the product? Don't let the packaging fool you one bit because it's no lipstick baybeh, it's a CONCEALER! and not just any concealer, it's the first of its kind hydrating concealer from Benefit Cosmetics!

AHA this is the secret to Fakeup!

Now I have not seen any concealer like this before. Looks like a 2-in-1 product with a concealing core and hydrating ring. How will this work? I was worried that it'll be uneven or worst oily but upon application it actually blends well together creating a smooth, lightweight concealer that moisturizes my eye area. Touch up is required after 4-6 hours for me (I have dry skin).

What it is?

A lightweight hydrating concealer spying as a lipstick that instantly hides dark circles and diffuses fine lines for silky smooth Au natural look. The first of its kind formula by Benefit Cosmetics proven to keep skin hydrated up to six hours. (source: Benefit Cosmetics)

How To Apply?

Using the lipstick like concealer stroke the fakeup underneath each eye area and gently pat outward to blend with your ring finger. Touch up on your existing concealer or make up to hydrate and freshen up. Benefit Cosmetic says it won't cake, crease or settle! You can also combine it with other Benefit products (the secret formula) for an instant yuk to wow eye makeover.

P.S: you can also use it on your hands (especially around the knuckles) to hide your age!

How Much?

It's RM90.00 each available from Benefit Cosmetics counter. It comes in 3 shades - light, medium & dark. Please consult the MUA for the right shade. You might need to a combination of two shades to suit your skin color.

super cute drama by Benefit! The Curious Case

Now time is always not on our side as women. Stress, unhealthy lifestyle like sleeping late, diet, over working will show and hard to recover when it happens. Just watch the video above, Ms. Stress arrives late looking like she hasn't slept in days. Blackout happened and the lights came on, everyone gasp at Ms. Stress now looking fabulous. Detective goes on investigating. Of course if Professor Pink was there to just explain everything it would be easier haha. She was too busy at the Great Hydrating Concealer Coverup in Kuala Lumpur teaching us how we can cover up our dark secrets with her secret formula!

(hint: the left is using fakeup)

The photographs above shows my bare face before any make up so you can spot some uneven tone, dark circles, etc. OH the horror but it's worth it to show the difference using Fakeup. Now Fakeup is not your industrial strength concealer like Benefit's Boing. Neither will it help cover serious blemishes or scars. Fakeup works in such a way that it can be use on top of your concealer or without to freshen up your eye area. The first thing you'll notice is it smooths out the lines and brightens up your skin so your dark circles is not so apparent.

Should you try?

I feel it's like Dr. Feel Good for the eyes + concealer + hydration minus the oiliness. True enough most of the concealers I have used before (especially cream types) cakes or creases after a while. Even when using liquid concealers and your foundation it'll also crease if I laugh or smile too much. I think Benefit's Fakeup is a solution to these problems and it's also a quick perk me up around the eyes when you look insomniac.
