How are you doing ? I hate summers but I love how it transforms Delhi . Delhi becomes a riot of colors .You can see splashes of orange and bright  reds  on flame of the forrest trees and swaying bunches of  fuchsia flowers on bougainvillea  shrubs .This is the time all the gauzy mul-mul Kurtas  come out of the closet .This is also the time when one feels like adding a splash of colour to the mostly muted look .So I sometimes add a bright lip tint or a a bright accessory like a watch .

This is also the time when tanning and acne add to the skin woes so wearing a loose powder and a concealer for the face helps in giving a neat and flawless finish .

The Lakme absolute Face stylist concealer bottle

Therefore today I shall review a concealer that I have tried .Read on to see how it fared on my rate-o-meter .

Price–Rs 900 for 3.5 gms

Availabilty –Easily available ,currently the  shade Fair 01 is  available on discount at Purrple.com ,here.

Packing – It comes in a simple ,sturdy ,transparent plastic tube with an applicator brush , I love how small and cute it is .The shade is clearly mentioned on the bottle.

How to apply –The Sales assistant at the Lakme counter told me to apply it  after using the foundation or BB cream as this is in liquid form and so should be applied last .It has to be applied in dots and then patted gently .The warmth of the fingertips helps the product to spread  evenly .

After blending the dots,  you can compare with the upper area where no concealer has been applied

TheFinal Verdict –I would rate it  3.5 /5 , Minus points for the price and coverage provided .

To sum it up , It gives excellent coverage for girls who need light coverage (as when needed  to cover a few spots or slight pigmentation) .It has  a lightweight feel and is good for summers and day make-up  .Girls who need heavier coverage( that is with darker pigmentation or very dark under eye circles )should give it a miss and opt for other heavy duty concealers
