L.A. GIRL PRO CONCEAL HD CONCEALER: TEST RUN & REVIEW

Hello again! I apologize for being MIA for a while, but not to worry, the Beauty Adventuress is back in business!

Now, onto the good stuff.


So I had recently been hearing awesome reviews on the L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD concealer, and I really wanted to give it a go. It was supposed to be an amazing formula for such a little price and perfect for highlighting and contouring! And to add to the amazingness, it comes in over 20 shades! Now, many reviews said that this concealer is difficult to find...and boy were they right. I had to buckle down and order online, but it is said to be sold in some dollar stores and beauty supply stores (not Sally's though). I ended up purchasing 3 shades, (two for concealing and highlighting, one for contouring) for $10.82 from iKatehouse.com. 

When they arrived, I was estatic to try them out! But unfortunately, (here's the sad part), the colors were not what I thought they were. The darker shade in the color Medium Bisque is a lovely color (but I have got to learn how to contour properly before I show you guys). The lighter shades, well they had an extreme orange-y undertone. Keep in mind though, I am EXTREMELY fair skinned and the light shades may work beautifully on other skin tones.


Classic Ivory is just way too peachy for me. The shade Natural though, has less of that peach tone so I decided to give it a try. 

These concealers certainly did blend beautifully, and the orange-y tones were not as noticeable once they were on the eye area. I may use them as a base for my regular Maybelline undereye concealer, so that the orange hues of these concealers cancel out the purple on my dark circles.

Overall, these are not bad concealers, especially for the price. I just wish that the colors had worked better for me. I encourage everyone to give them a shot because they are lovely and the shade range is huge, just not so much for the extremely fair-skinned. 

Staying Power: 7/10
Shade Range: 9/10 
Blendability: 10/10
Overall: 8/10

If you have tried these concealers, please let me know how these worked for you!

Thanks for reading, come back by again soon!
