australis paparazzi perfect hd concealer in light-medium. rrp at ausd$12. i got it more than a month ago from priceline when it was discounted. i can't remember the exact detail now. (that's why i should be blogging about it sooner than later!)

high definition. picture perfect. sounds like a dream! with the need to take very close up shot of the eyes for eotd's, it's always a big turn off seeing the flaws (ie dark circles and fine lines) magnified.

love the dispense tip. the amount to squeeze out is controllable. no wastage.

the color light-medium swatched at the back of my hand, left as it's squeezed out, and right blended into my skin.

my thoughts

i like the light creamy texture. it is very smooth and spreadable, and blends flawlessly into the skin... if your skin is flawless.

when using it to cover the flaws, it's more light coverage than medium coverage. you need more to cover the flaws, but it's not long lasting. dark circles and flaws re-appears after a few hours.

this is probably good concealer for those with not-so-serious dark circles. it's very much my kind of concealer if i don't need to cover the dark circles. with what i consider 'normal' amount, it blends smoothly into the undereye area without eccentuate the fine lines.

but i need more than 'normal' to not looking like a vampire. and that much amount of product settles into the lines and making the fine lines not so fine. adding powder to set it futher cakes it.

if you don't have major flaws to cover up, this could be what you're looking for.

unfortunately, this is not for me. the search for the perfect affordable concealer continues.

this concealer comes in 2 colors. i'm not too pale and the palest color, which is the one i'm reviewing, is a perfect match. if you're too pale or too dark, you can cross it out immediately.
