My
Experience with NYX HD Photogenic Concealer:
The NYX HD Concealer
comes in a simple glass packaging. When I want to use the concealer for my eyes, I directly
apply from the wand. And, when I use it cover my blemishes, I apply concealer
on back of my hand and then, I use it. The packaging is so travel friendly!
The texture of the concealer is creamy and light (I Remember Oreos!
Yum! Ahem!). It blends in seamlessly with the skin. The finish is semi-matte. It
doesn’t looks patchy or dry at all. It
provides medium-full coverage which
is brilliant. But if you have really dark eye circles, using an orange/peach corrector would be needed.
The same goes for deep acne scars. A green corrector would be required for
cancelling the redness. Using an eye
cream prior application is a must otherwise it won’t blend properly. The
same goes for the face. Using a
moisturizer is a must for proper blending. I need to blend it fast as it
dries out fast. I use patting
motions for both eyes and face. Sometimes,
I also use a brush sprayed with setting mist to blend out. After that, I set it
with powder. The result is so clean. Even with near to full coverage, the face doesn’t look dull and cakey but
actually glowy!

In this hot and humid
weather, it stays on amazingly well!
It stays on for more than 7-8 hours without any creasing. Only after that, I find it creasing a little.
On my face, it lasts for more than 7-8 hours with little fading. Setting it
with powder is a must to avoid creasing. I’m sure it going to last for long in
winters. This shade I have has got warm
undertones, which is why it works for my warm skin so nicely. It’s just
that it has more yellow than
required for my skin tone. For the eye
area, the shade works real nicely but on my face, I can see a little
differentiation if my zoom in my eyes. See in pictures how it’s yellower than
required for my face. It brightens up my eye area very nicely. And, as for the
face, I blend it in with my foundation so that my blemishes don’t get noticed
any differently.
*See the yellow cast on face? Wish it was a perfect match for my face. I therefore blend it with my foundation so that it looks much less obvious and this is a very close up shot*
In short, NYX HD Photogenic concealer is an amazing and affordable
concealer that’s lightweight, provides near to full coverage without looking obvious
and stays on for long in this hot weather! Just make sure to moisturize
properly to avoid any cakey effect. If I can find my perfect shade for my face
next time, this will be a permanent in my vanity box. Plus, NYX is a cruelty
free brand! So, Yay!
