Diorskin Nude Skin Perfecting Hydrating Concealer

I have combination skin with oil slick areas and Sahara dry patches. My under eye area, as well as being ‘blessed’ with dark circles, falls into the super dry category. I was on the hunt for a concealer that would help stop the skin becoming too dry as well as covering the darkness and preferably doing all of this without settling into any fine lines. I don’t ask for much do I?

I have the shade 001 Ivory. You get a teeny 10ml of product for £19.50 so it ain’t cheap but a little does go a very long way. I love the packaging. Whilst beige isn’t exactly the prettiest colour for the packaging the squeezey tube with the tiny little nozzle is very hygienic and allows you to easily control how much product you get out. 

The colour is just light enough for me (I haven’t found a MAC foundation in a light enough colour for me) and it is quite well pigmented. Those of you used to industrial strength concealers might feel the need for a colour corrector underneath if you have really bad circles but this is enough for me. The formula is relatively thin so it blends easily and it takes a while to set. I do need to set this with my Benefit Powderflage or I find that it slips a little during the day.

 The main down side has to be that as far as I can tell there are only 3 colours to choose from. Frankly Dior that just doesn't cut it!

It is certainly more hydrating than any concealer I tried thus far though I wouldn’t start skipping your eye cream just yet. It doesn’t cling to any flakey bits and providing I set it with a powder there isn’t any noticeable creasing. Overall I’m a fan and I’d seriously consider repurchasing it if I weren’t sure a sucker for trying new things! X
