NATURACTOR CONCEALER
Hi!
I've been using this concealer a little over 3 months now. I think it's sufficient enough to say it's time for a review. So here it is!
INITIAL THOUGHTS...
Really impressed. For an extremely inexpensive concealer a little product goes a long way and held up for quite sometime. Happy Camper indeed...
On the plus side, I did really like it on my face. It covers quite well for blemishes. I only use one layer daily for the amount of coverage I prefer. I use it to cover under eye circles, small blemishes, and some redness around the nose.

RESULT: 4/5
The main reason I bought it was to see how well it would cover my Keloid scars. Keloid scars are raised, dark red scars that can get irritating and itchy and unfortunately, never go away. I've yet to find anything that will make the scars less noticeable to the point where I can wear a low cut top. I don't even wear v-neck tops cause I'm quite self conscious of the scars. Unfortunately, it didn't cover to my liking.
It's not cause the color doesn't match the skin on my chest (okay for my face though), but because it did look too matte. The skin on my chest naturally has some shine to it, but this was just way too matte. Also, because the scars are raised it's still quite noticeable when certain lighting causes the shadows. However, in my opinion..I think this would cover flat scars quite well as it covers birthmarks well.
On the plus side, I did really like it on my face. It covers quite well for blemishes. I only use one layer daily for the amount of coverage I prefer. I use it to cover under eye circles, small blemishes, and some redness around the nose.
The result is dewy but then dries pretty matte. Also, it really brightens up my eyes. It hasn't caused me to break out and doesn't clog my pores. For the amount of concealers I've tried (not that many). This is one of my faves (as of yet).
One reason especially is because it's oil free. Prior to purchasing this I went searching for online reviews but came up with so few, cause it was a new item at the time. However, the reviews were convincing enough for me to want to try and come of with my own verdict. Also, cause it is so inexpensive! So to sum it up, I'm quite pleased for using it on my face, but not my scars.
TEXTURE: 4/5
It's actually quite a very light creamy consistency but not suffocating. I really like how it doesn't feel greasy on the skin. It blends easily without drying up too quickly.
WEAR: 5/5
Lasts better than your average concealer. I am fine without touch ups for around 8 hours. It doesn't crease or cake around the eyes. It does emphasize drier areas, but with good exfoliation it's fine.
