The mineral makeup craze is booming! Let’s try out the new rating system on Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer.
coverage: 5/5
For a drugstore product, I was impressed. This baby blotted out my dark undereye circles with the greatest of ease!
texture: 3/5
While it was thick and matte, the finish wasn’t amazing and was almost grainy-looking. Still, I thought it made my skin look more natural than most concealers do, and it blended easily (at least to my skin in color Fair: Light 0-1).
variety: 1/5
This is where this product fails. There isn’t a huge selection of shades, and darker-skinned girls won’t have to be too far down the spectrum to be ticked by the colors available.
staying power: 2/5
Ouch. While this isn’t the least lasting concealer I’ve tried *cough*CoverGirl*cough* it won’t win any awards for long wear. It barely made it through two hours of work, though albeit I wasn’t wearing powder.
The verdict: 3/5 - Great for natural-looking coverage, but it won’t make your skin look fabulous or wear all day.
