Here's the product I wanted to blog about yesterday. It's not a new product, but it is new to me and I'm really loving it. My usual concealer, Collection Lasting Perfection, was becoming a little to dry for my under eye area and after the brief spell of sunshine both shades 1 and 2 were no longer suiting my skin.
I spotted the Bourjois Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer in Boots and it looked like the sort of shade and texture I was after. I picked up shade 52 'medium radiance' which is fairly neutral, meaning it works quite happily as both an under eye concealer and to cover minor blemishes. As the bottom photo shows, blended out it has good medium coverage whilst still looking like skin. It covers dark circles without looking cakey or overly 'radiant' - which I find often means so shiny that it draws attention to the problem you were trying to cover! Best of all the longevity is great and I've had no creasing issues at all (hallelujah!), despite the quite pronounced lines under my eyes. The packaging is also more sanitary than the doe-foot applicator of the Collection concealer.
Unfortunately it is scented, like most of the Healthy Mix range, but I haven't had any issues with skin irritation or breakouts. It's a little pricey at £7.49 for 10ml, but this is the best under eye concealer I've found on the high street.

This post is so helpful! My Collection 2000 has nearly run out and I was contemplating the healthy mix concealer xx
ReplyDeletei completely agree on everything you say about this beauty (we can call a concealer beauty right? lol) i have been using it over a year, and just run out of it today :) i was thinking of trying something else, but your post reminded me how much i love it :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteTheir "Touche Healthy Mix" concealer pen is also BRILLIANT for under-eye circles. It's slightly pink toned so rubbish for my face, but I find it has an outstanding "corrective" effect under my eyes.
ReplyDeleteyup, it's amazing <3 I always return and repurchase this one!
ReplyDeleteI like that this concealer is relatively neutral...makes it that much more multipurpose! My MAC studio finish is nearly out so maybe I can find this on US Ebay xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this, it blends out so well! It really does look like skin. I will have to try this out for myself.
ReplyDeleteLooks really blendable from your swatch. Nice choice!

ReplyDeleteOh this I will have to purchase! Been looking for something to hide my under eye circles, so this is definitely going on my shopping list!

I may just have to try this but do you have any recomendations for other concealers for spots or harder areas to cover. Im currentley using a inglot one and used to studio fix but dont like to keep putting a brush in it :( Was hoping you could help because you always seem to have good recemendations xxx

i have used everything from vitamin e cream to garnier roll on to ysl, i'm now using collection 2000 under my eyes and i find that it's okay but i have to use not very much or it's cakey and/or shiny, thus like you said, drawing attention to the area as opposed to away like i want! i've always had problems with under eye bags/dark circles, so i will be trying this thanks to your advice! :) x
ReplyDeletereally want to try this concealer and the foundation!xo

Thanks for the review! My Collection 2000 concealer feels drying under the eyes now and I think I might swap to this.
ReplyDeleteI already own this, and you've just reminded me to dig it out again :)
ReplyDeleteI have been using that concealer too. It's awesome, I think its my new go to concealer. I have it in a shade lighter than my foundation (because the shops didn't have my colour in stock), but it works well because the lighter colour really brightens my under eye area.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned it in my May favourites on my blog :)

hi good to see your review of an affordable high street concealer. i always use mac but recently bought the.collection one as a cheap alternative. really not getting the hype though. i feel its rubbish for dark circles and creases on me. will give this one a go. thanks x
ReplyDeleteMust try this!! The foundation is quite nice to, and the smell is quite refreshing! x
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite concealers!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this but I had a reaction to the serum foundation so I'm a little apprehensive to buy it. I love the packaging though, so handy! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI like 17's concealor too.
This is my go-to concealer, and I think it's amazing you discovered it! :) Isn't it awesome?
ReplyDeleteOoooh, this may be worth a try. I use the Collection lasting perfection concealer and it's just too heavy for my eye area and always creases!

I agree that the collection 2000 one can be a little to dry sometimes, this seems like a good alternative :)

ReplyDeleteI recently bought the foundation and love it, so this will be going on my wish list! xo
ReplyDeleteThis sounds perfect--wish we still had Bourjois in the US!

ReplyDeleteHello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
ReplyDeleteI'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
