This concealer does what its name says. It’s a liquid concealer that lasts for a really long time. It gives you some time to blend it out and once it sets it stays on all day. It dries to a pretty matte finish so if you want to use it to highlight your under eye area, you’ll need a lighter shade than your complexion.

Although it doesn’t dry instantly, I would only work on no more than 2 or 3 blemishes at once. So I would dot it on 2 or 3 blemishes and then blend the concealer into the skin. I do this because when it’s more liquid, the coverage is medium blended and when it’s a little more tacky, I can achieve a fuller coverage.

I know a lot of people use it as under eye concealers I actually won’t recommend it to people with dry under eyes because it’s not creamy once it dries so it does not provide any moisture and can sometimes make your under eye area looks even dryer and really cakey.

The packaging isn’t the greatest, even though it has a pump. This concealer is very pigmented and you don’t need much to cover up any imperfection. Most of the time it pumps out more than I need so I pump it into a small container. Since the air can get in when I leave the container open when I put makeup on, the concealer inside can dry out over time. If you choose to use a small container, I suggest you only put one pump in it so that you don’t waste a lot of product.

Color matching can be a little tricky because it oxidizes. Not too much though. I was looking for the perfect match and it took me a long time. I finally settled with NC20, which is my foundation shade. It’s pretty close to my complexion but just a tiny bit too dark when it sets. It can be easily be covered or blended in with my foundation though.

Overall, this concealer is well worth the hype. I like it as an under eye concealer sometimes, but I LOVE it as a face concealer. It’s $18 for 0.30 oz/ 9ml. It’s a really good value considering how concentrate it is.

I normally don’t wear anything other than neutral on my eyes but I’ve been trying to add some color on my eyes to enhance the color of my eyes, which is really dark brown.

Purple, blue and green are contrasting to brown so they make brown stand out. I can’t say that they make my eye color pop because it’s so dark that it’s almost black. But it’s just fun to add a tiny bit of color to my same old neutral routines :D

Today I used a dark green frosty eyeliner on the top lash lines. I like that even though there’s color, the look is still natural. The color isn’t really obvious because of my hooded eyes, but I actually like that.

The color I have is Brownish Black.

This mascara gives a pretty natural look. It’s not very volumizing. It lengthens the lashes pretty well.

2 coats, some smudging along bottom lash line

Whenever I dislike a mascara, 90% of the time the reason would be that it transfers. It is the case with this mascara. It smudges and transfers 3 hours after application.

This mascara has received some credit because it’s a really good beginner mascara since it gives a really natural look. I would actually recommend beginners the Mega Plush because it achieve a even better look (more natural even with more volume and length) without transferring.

For some reason I have 2 of the same mascara. I don’t know why I got another one when I don’t even like it… The other one I have is in Very Black. I took it out of the packaging but I’ve never used it and I’m not going to use it. So if you would like to have it, let me know in the comment and I’ll send it to you (for free, of course). First come first serve.

I’ve been using a sample size of YSL Shocking mascara a lot and I also have a REVIEW on it.

It’s a very lovely mascara. The mascara itself is $30. I’ve said that I wouldn’t purchase the full size because of the price and I still wouldn’t purchase the set because I’m not in need of a high end mascara. But for those of you who want to try this mascara, this set is the ultimate deal because it’s $30, same price as the mascara alone, for the mascara, an eye cream, and a makeup remover. Nordstrom also offers free shipping on any orders.
