Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer

I know, I am late to the club. This is perhaps one of the hardest to get because it's often out of stock, at least in my place. Anyway, this is the Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer. Phew, that's a long name. I had been curious about it for quite some time so I had to go out and get it for myself. I have to give it to Tati and KathleenLights for loving and approving this concealer.

Packaging

This concealer comes in clear packaging. I am not sure if it's a glass or a plastic tube but it seems really sturdy. There's only one way to find out but it would not be necessary to throw it across the room. And it has a normal size of a doe-foot applicator. (looking at you, Maybelline Fit Me Concealer)

Shade

I got the shade 010 Porcelain. I was only left with 005 Light Natural and 010 Porcelain, so I have to go with 010 Porcelain. I wish 020 Light Beige was available because that would match me perfectly but the shade was sold out. 010 Porcelain is a bit light and greyish for my skin tone but I am able to make it work. I hope they will come out with more shades to represent every skin tone in the future.

Texture

The texture is really creamy and thick, but I had no issue blending it out. As long as you are blending it fast and not taking your sweet time blending, it will be a smooth process. The very first time I tried this concealer was without any foundation and skincare, and it accentuate the teeny-tiny little bumps under my eyes and it looked super drying. But on top of foundation and whatnot, it's a match made in heaven. I just had to put it out there - this is the type of concealer that needs to go with your foundation.

Coverage

As far as coverage goes, it has great coverage, it's pigmented and buildable. You can definitely apply a little but it covers quite well. I would not say it completely covers a really blueish under eye circle, it just covers a slightly darker under-eye area and brightens it. In terms of acne scars, I don't have intense scars and texture on my face, so it really covers them up pretty well. It does not look cakey and does not settle into my fine lines, probably because I am scared to put too much. Even after a long day, nothing major creasing or settling into fine lines action happens. 

Staying power

Great staying power! Good job, Catrice. I was pleasantly surprised with this concealer, it held up until the end of my day with minor creasing. I guess the waterproof property, quick drying action and matte finish helps it to stay put and not settle into fine lines.

pros:

Affordable

Great coverage

Buildable

Waterproof, sweat-proof

Great staying power

Little to zero creasing into fine lines

Looked amazing on top of foundation

cons:

Always sold out

Strong perfume scent

Poor shade range

Accentuate dryness if you wear it alone

Verdict

Overall, this is a great product, I can see myself repurchasing it (let's hope I can get the right shade next time) and it's reasonably priced. I like the coverage, it's long-lasting, it's a great value for money etc etc. Great job, Catrice! I really recommend it. You definitely have to try it out because it's worth the hype and money.
