Hello everyone! I hope you are all smashing your week! I have had the Becca Aqua Luminous Concealer for a while and had been meaning to write this post fo a while. For a while I was on the hunt for a high end concealer, I wanted to treat myself and whilst I was in Edinburgh last summer I finally found one that matched my skin tone, you can see what other goodies I got here. As someone who has a pale complexion with a neutral undertone, it can be difficult to find a pale concealer that isn’t yellow or pink toned. Many high end brands seem to do two pale concealers – one with a yellow undertone and the other pink. Or that are just look orange on me. So when Becca’s Aqua Luminous was a match I knew it was meant to be.
I picked up the lightest shade, Porcelain. For £21 you get 0.18oz of product, which compared to my fave NYX HD Concealer for £6 you get 0.11. I bought the Aqua Luminous concealer at Space NK, but it can also be bought at John Lewis or Cult Beauty. It’s described on Space NK as;

The packaging is a standard tube with a pretty shade on the cap. What I find super helpful on the packaging is that it clicks when you’ve twisted the lid all the way – so you know the product is locked in tight and no air can get in. I also really like the applicator, it’s not a standard doe foot, it’s in a tear-drop shape which brings up just the right amount of product for me to use on both eyes.
I have been using this concealer under my eyes and loving the results! I apply 3-4 dots under my eyes and blend it out with my Urban Decay The Finger brush. I find the concealer is hydrating and doesn’t make my under eyes look dry. The concealer blends out beautifully, leaving a hydrating finish. Of course it creases, but so does every concealer on me, but it doesn’t crease so badly that it’s obvious. It still looks smooth. It covers my dark circles really well and lasts all day, even in the heat the UK had over the summer last year!

Overall I am so glad I picked up this concealer! I haven’t tried many from high-end brands, but this one has definitely set the bar high! If you’re looking for a new concealer and want to treat yourself I definitely recommend this one! Thank you so much for reading, what’s your favourite concealer?
