I can’t say I love the new Keep Me Covered essence Concealer…
The beauty community has had some controversy over the new Keep Me Covered line from essence. More specifically, the controversy is about the shade range of the foundation and concealer. I’ve tested both (Keep Me Covered Foundation review here) and can’t say I’m impressed with anything about the formulas, from the application to the finish to the longevity.
Lucky for you, I also have some alternatives to the essence concealer that actually work. But, first, let me explain why I’m not impressed by the Keep Me Covered Concealer.
Promises vs. Performance: This essence concealer misses the mark in every area.
How It Compares: essence Concealer is not the best.
Simply put, skip trying this concealer. There are so many other formulas at the drugstore that actually perform well without making the under eyes look dry and crepey, without settling into lines, and actually having a long wear.
In my opinion, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind is the industry standard drugstore concealer. This product is definitely raved about, too, with more than 100,000 reviews on Amazon and a 4.4 star rating. Incredible! It covers dark circles and brightens under eyes while feeling weightless, leaving you with a smooth finish. This iconic concealer is truly a holy grail product (minus the messy applicator, but we can overlook that). That being said, there are some newcomers to the drugstore concealer family that I love.
