TOO FACED BORN THIS WAY CONCEALER REVIEW-VANILLA!

Introduction:

Today, Beautyspade exploring the wonderful world of concealers, and boy, do I have a treat for you! We’re talking about by far my favorite and most used concealer ‘Too Faced Born This Way Concealer’ in the shade Vanilla. Now the question arises, why is this concealer my favorite?

If there’s one makeup product that’s always given me a run for my money (and vice versa), it’s concealer. I mean, we’ve had our fair share of battles—creases, cakey disasters, you name it. So, when I heard about the Too Faced Born This Way Concealer, I was equal parts intrigued and skeptical. Could this be the one to finally end my concealer woes? Well, let’s just say the jury’s still out, but I’m willing to give it a shot.

Oh, Concealers, the perpetual thorn in my side! Seriously, is there any other makeup product that manages to disappoint me more consistently? It’s like they have a personal strategy against me. Either they’re too dry and cakey, leaving me looking like I just stepped out of a desert, or they’re so opaque that I might as well be wearing a mask. And let’s not even talk about coverage, or the reverse raccoon eyes, or the fine lines and under-eye wrinkles that don’t want to settle. Am I the only one who feels like concealers are out to get me?

What the Brand Claims:

According to Too Faced, this concealer isn’t just your average cover-up. Oh no, it’s like a magic wand for your under-eye bags, dark circles, and any other imperfections you want to bid farewell to. They boast about its hydrating formula that’s infused with coconut water, alpine rose, and hyaluronic acid to give you that flawless, natural-looking finish. Plus, they claim it’s long-wearing, so you can go about your day without worrying about touch-ups every five minutes. Also, it’s photo-friendly/has no flashbacks, and non-comedogenic lasts for up to 12 hours. Sounds like a dream, right?

Ingredients:

Let’s take a peek at what’s inside this little tube of wonder, shall we? Coconut water? Check. Alpine rose? Check. Hyaluronic acid? Check, check, check! It’s like a skincare cocktail for your under-eye area. Not only does it provide coverage, but it also nourishes and hydrates, leaving your skin looking and feeling oh-so-healthy. And can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that it’s cruelty-free? Bravo, Too Faced, bravo!

List of Ingredients from the Too Faced website:

Water\Aqua\Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Isoamyl Laurate, Triethylhexanoin, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone, Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate, Methyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Acrylates/Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Liquid Endosperm, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Juice, Rhododendron Ferrugineum Extract, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Sodium Chloride, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate,  [+/- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491), Iron Oxides (Ci 77492), Iron Oxides (Ci 77499), Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)] <ILN49506>

Packaging:

Okay, can we talk about how adorable the packaging is? The sleek, chic, aesthetically pleasing sturdy bottle with its black cap is just begging to be displayed on your vanity. I mean high-end brands such as Too Faced, Nars, etc. have a class in choosing their packaging. It comes with a doe-foot applicator that makes application a breeze. No more messy fingers or brushes—just swipe, blend, and go! One of the classy and high-end-looking packaging I have seen so far.

Now, let’s talk about the size of the bottle—13.5 ml, which is a bit larger than your average concealer but not quite as hefty as a foundation bottle. You’re getting a generous amount of product for your money, which means you won’t run out anytime soon, and you have plenty to work with whether you’re concealing a few spots or going for a full-face glam. However, there’s a downside too. It’s not the most discreet thing to carry around for touch-ups in a small purse—it’s like lugging around a mini foundation wherever you go. Plus, it adds a bit of weight to your makeup bag, so keep that in mind if you’re all about traveling light.

How to Apply:

Alright, now for the fun part—putting it to the test! I applied a few dots of the Too Faced Born This Way Concealer under my eyes as my highlighting shade and blended it out with a damp beauty sponge. If I use it as my concealer only without correcting underneath then it might turn out ashy. And let me tell you, honey, it was like waving a magic wand over my face. The formula is so creamy and blendable, and it seamlessly melted into my skin without emphasizing any fine lines or wrinkles. Plus, the coverage? Girl, it’s like Photoshop in a tube! It gives me the right amount of brightness. You can use this concealer as your contour also! Just pick a cool-toned brown shade that must be 2-3 shades darker than your skin tone.

Where to buy/ Price:

You can purchase it from Nykaa. The price is 2550/- but you will get it with some amazing offers.

My Final Thoughts:

So, after putting the Too Faced Born This Way Concealer through its paces, what’s the verdict? Drumroll, please… I’m in love! Seriously, this stuff is the real deal. Not only does it provide flawless coverage, but it also hydrates and nourishes my skin, making it look and feel healthier than ever. And the best part? It lasts all day without creasing or fading, so I can go from morning coffee to late-night cocktails without a touch-up in sight. So, if you’re in the market for a new concealer that will have you looking like a million bucks, do yourself a favor and give this concealer a try. Also being a professional makeup artist, I 100% recommend every other artist to carry this in their vanity. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
