NYX Dark Circle Concealer Review

Dark circles I have them and I HATE them! So of course when I seen NYX Dark Circle concealer, I was over the moon. This is a orange tone concealer that is suppose to conceal dark circle that have blue coloring. I got this in the color Dark and sadly its a little to pale on my skin tone. It almost looks ashy on the areas that I apply it to: under the eyes and around my mouth. It has a sheer coverage and my dark circles can still be seen. This is could be due to the fact that its to light for me, but I'm not sure.
I don't like this concealer at all. Beside the fact its to light for me (its the darkest shade that NYX offers) I just don't think it gives the right amount of coverage for my dark circles and darker areas around my mouth. I think the idea of this product is great a orange base concealer, but due to the shade range and sheerness, I just can't put this on my favorite list.

XOXO,

NYX Tinted Moisturizer Hydratant Review


Now let me be the 1st to say that I am in no way a fan of CC, BB, or tinted moisturizer, simply because those formulas don't give enough coverage to me likely, so I slightly skeptic about the NEW NYX tinted moisturizer. But recently I've been looking for something light that I could wear to the gym, so I figured why not. On to the review!


NYX tinted moisturizer is a lightweight, oil free, fragrance free foundation. I got the darkest shade in Almond and it matches my coloring, but its way to red on me. But for the reason of the review I wore it for a few day to test it out. Its very lightweight and barely gives coverage. Even with 2 layers it didn't even give a medium coverage. It does give a luminous finish to the skin, that doesn't appear shiny or greasy looking. Since it was so sheer, it really didn't have a long staying power. I felt like it faded away after a couple of hours.

I'm not crazy about this is tinted moisturizer on its on, but I found that its a nice addition to mix in with some other my other more heavier foundations that I wish were a little bit more moisturizing or thick. Overall I think this is a nice tinted moisturizer if you have perfect skin or don't mind spending extra time concealing. It will show your skin, and does give a fresh healthy finish. But this wasn't a tinted moisturizer that convert me to lighter formula side, but its nice if this is your kind of thing.

XOXO,
