In general, my experience with makeup and all kinds of cosmetics has been that you get what you pay for. So my advice in general, is: don’t waste your money on shit. This does not mean I think you need to spend a lot of money to look good. I am not one of those beauty bloggers about to tell you you have to spend hundreds to look great – or that you need makeup or any shit to look great for that matter.
That being said, I am super pleased with the emergency makeup purchases I had to make today before my second interview this morning. First, I had to get some concealer because I could not go to the interview with the dark circles under my eyes. When I got to Target I basically went straight for the Rimmel section because well, I was super impressed with the purple kohl eyeliner I bought last time. Not to mention with the likes of Amy Winehouse endorsing them well – they have to have something going on. Plus, Kate Moss is the face of Rimmel and I love Kate… she’s so pretty. Regardless the Hide the Blemish concealer is completely ammmmazing. Gorgeous texture, nice application overall it’s an 8 out of 10. It’s very creamy, so I was afraid it might settle into the lines but it really didn’t. Let me clarify, since application four or five hours ago it hasn’t settled into any lines. It’s also stayed put very well so I’m well pleased. The only problem I really see with the concealer is honestly it only comes in three shades: goth, pale, and normal white person which basically really sucks. Rimmel’s website makes the colors seem much darker than they are because I saw the entire line (or at least that they sell at Target) and nothing for a person of color or even someone who tans was in sight.
I know it’s supposed to be a tone lighter than your skin but for me that never works and I always try to match my skin as much as possible with concealer – I don’t need to be any paler. So that’s pretty bad … but for all the pale gals at least there is finally someone making makeup that you can find in a drugstore that doesn’t assume you worship the fucking sun. When I was in high school the only lines that made foundations pale enough was M.A.C.
