Benefit Fakeup Crease-Control Hydrating Concealer

In our present generation, the epitome of a hard-working and successful woman is the number of hours she sleeps at night. Majority of today's students and career women are already lucky enough to get at least 6 hours of sleep, 4 to 5 times a week. The rest are happy to have at least 4 to 5 hours of sleep daily. These people have mastered the art of catnaps while others are just plain (damn) gifted. The result of such habit can cause chemical imbalances in our body, lack of concentration and the most dreaded "zombified" look with matching dark under eyes and  highly irritable skin around the eye area. If you are an "Annie Batungbakal" who works all day and party all night, you need to have this weapon in your kikay stash.

Benefit Cosmetics Philippines held its 3-day product preview of their latest hot item, the "Benefit Fakeup Hydrating Concealer" this March 22 to March 24, 2013 in their branches/counters at Greenbelt 5, EDSA Shangri-La and Glorietta. I am not yet sure of its official counter release date. Being a Benefit fanatic, I make sure to get my hands on their latest release on the first day of its product preview dates. 

This one is really worth all the fuss and hype. Let me justify why:

Benefit Fakeup Crease-Control Hydrating Concealer

Benefit really has a charm in its packaging. So cute, as always! :)

02 Medium

Benefit Fakeup comes in 3 shades -Light, Medium and Deep. The "02 Medium" shade perfectly compliments my  NC30 skin tone. 

Not your ordinary concealer.

Fakeup Anatomy:

• Outer White / Hydrator Part - contains the Vitamin E and Apple seed extract.
• Inner Shaded / Concealer Part - has light diffusers and skin smoothing ingredients.

Swatches:

When applied.

When blended.

Claims: This crease control hydrating concealer -with Vitamin E and apple seed extract -hides dark circles and diffuses fine lines for a silky smooth, ultra-natural look. Fakeup never  settles...and neither should you.

Touch up throughout the day...this "double duty" hydrating and concealing formula won't cake, crease or settle.

Use: 

• Trick 1: Instantly refresh your look...smooth Fakeup over any concealer to diffuse fine lines and hydrate under-eye area.
• Trick 2: Dot and blend to smooth away pesky "situations" anywhere in your face.

Price: A 3.5g tube costs Php1,300.00. It is available in 3 Benefit outlets within the metro -GB5, Glorietta and EDSA Shagri-La.

Hits:

• It lessens the skin tightness in my under eye area, as well as, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
• It glides on smoothly without tugging the skin.
• It lightens my "puyat circles" giving me a natural "8hrs sleep" look.
• You can also use this on dried pimple area to conceal dark spots and minimize the appearance of dry skin.
• You can also skip the eye cream when using this product. *This applies to daytime use only. 
• I used this once during a "Zumba" Class and it stays put without looking cakey.
• Simple and hygienic to use.
• The tube is convenient to bring with you anywhere. 

Miss:

• Few may find the price to be a bit expensive, but it is really worth it. 

This is my favorite Benefit product so far. Also my topnotch concealer for the moment. :)))
