This post is also available in: Croatian The first candidate in this series of reviews of my army of under-eye concealers is the Maybelline Fit Me. This product is rather well liked in the online beauty community, and I think Marlena from Makeupgeek is pretty much to blame for that, since she praised it to the heavens in one of her You Tube videos. If memory serves me well, I myself went out and bought it after her recommendation. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer comes in a 6,8 ml tube and is available in most Croatian drugstores. The packaging is pretty simple. The lower part of the tube is see through which is nice cause you can see how much product you have left and the upper part is a simple, black tube top. I like the simplicity of the packaging. I read that some people complained about the top not closing well and the product leaking out, but I had no such problems. The only thing I don’t like about the packaging is that with time the letters rub off and it starts to look scruffy pretty fast, but I can live with that. The tube top is marked with the number corresponding to the particular concealer shade. Expiry is the standard six months. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is available in six shades, whose numbers and are actually pretty confusing and don’t make much sense. 1) FAIR – 15 2) LIGHT – 10 3) MEDIUM – 25 4) SAND – 20 5) DEEP – 35 6) CAFE – 30 In Croatia the first three are available in local drugstores (or the first four, I’m not quite sure), while the last two intended for darker skin tones can’t be found. I bought the lightest shade, FAIR – 15. On its website Maybelline states that this concealer does not contain any oils or other harmful substances, that it’s dermatologicaly and opthamalogicaly tested, non-comedogenic and it has no scent. The concealer supposedly provides medium to full coverage which at the same time enables the natural texture and freshness of the skin to shine through. As already mentioned #15 is the lightest shade. It’s not yellow, but leans more towards a beige, pinky shade. Personally I find the shade a bit unusual. I’m of a neutral to warm complexion but for the under eye area I prefer cooler tones (just for reference the Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer in 52 was way, way too yellow for me) since pinky tones freshen up and lift my under eye area nicely while warm toned concealers are usually too yellow for me. When I bought this concealer it was winter and it was too dark for me but come spring-summer and a bit of a tan and I could start using it. Despite the fact that the concealer leans towards a pinkish shade, the beige undertones in it are predominant and it doesn’t really give the face any freshness. I would say it’s not really the ideal match for my complexion, but if I add a little bit of pink concealer underneath, the situation becomes much better. Of course, if you mix two different types of concealers you inevitably loose some of their original properties (such as coverage and staying power), but since I’m already used to the fact that it’s near impossible for me to find a light enough and neutral enough shade, I don’t really have much choice in the matter. Your skin colour might not be nearly as complicated as mine, and if so, consider yourself lucky :). The concealer has a doe-foot applicator of the kind you usually find on lip glosses. I usually apply it by dotting it on sparingly then take a flat concealer brush and blend it out by tapping on the surface of the skin. For additional blending along the edges I use my fingers. Since I have pretty dark and pronounced under eye circles, after this first layer I usually add a little bit more near the inner corners of my eyes and on other areas where my circles are darkest, just to get more coverage. The concealer has a pretty dense consistency and you have to be careful not to go overboard with the amount you use, otherwise it won’t blend into the skin nicely. You also have to be pretty quick with it, cause if it dries before you blend it out, you’ll be left with not so attractive patches on the skin. The coverage this concealer provides is medium to full. It covers up my dark circles pretty well, and I think the effect would be even better if the shade was a more perfect match for me, just a little lighter and a little less beige. You can see comparison swatches with the rest of the concealers in my collection HERE. The concealer does settle into fine lines though. I always set it with a light dusting of powder, but even when set, it settles into fine lines after a few hours. I also have the feeling that it fades during wear, and although the fading is minimal you can notice it. I don’t usually reapply my concealer during the day (especially since the first layer is set with powder so it really would look pretty cakey), so I would like for Fit Me to be a little more long-lasting on the skin. It usually starts to fade before my expected eight hours of wear. To conclude I can say that Fit Me is a very solid drugstore concealer. It offers pretty good coverage for prominent under eye circles, and it’s pretty good for covering blemishes on the face. But it’s not perfect. Even with setting with powder it seeps into fine lines while the main reasons for which I probably won’t be repurchasing it are that the shade is not such a good match for me and that I really do like my concealer to be a bit more long-lasting. Have you tried the Maybelline Fit Me concealer? How do you like it?

This post is also available in: English Prvi kandidat u ovoj seriji o mojoj vojsci korektora za prekrivanje podočnjaka je Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. Ovaj korektor je poprilično hvaljen u internetskoj beauty zajednici, a mislim da je za to najviše zaslužna i Marlena sa Makeup Geek portala koja ga je nahvalila na You Tubeu. Ako me sjećanje dobro služi, nakon njezine preporuke sam ga i ja kupila. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer dolazi u bočici od 6,8 ml, po cijeni od 53,90 kn i dostupan je u našim drogerijama. Primjetila sam da su u nekim dm-ovima Maybelline stalci izmjenjeni pa ga više nema svugdje. Za Zagreb provjereno znam da ga ima za kupiti u dm-u u Shopping centru Cvjetni, a za ostale gradove bi bilo super da nam napišete info u komentarima, ako znate :). Ambalaža mu je jednostavna. Donji dio je proziran, što je zgodno jer tako možete vidjeti koliko vam je proizvoda još ostalo, a gornji dio čini obični, crni čep. Sviđa mi se njena jednostavnost. Pročitala sam da su se neki ljudi žalili da im se čep dobro ne zatvara pa da zna doći do curenja samog proizvoda, ali meni se to nije događalo. Jedino što mi se ne sviđa je to što s korištenjem slova na bočici počinju blijediti i brisati se pa na kraju izgleda nekako jadno, ali to se da pretrpjeti. Na vrhu plastičnog čepa nalazi se broj koji označava nijansu korektora. Rok trajanja je standardnih 6 mjeseci. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer postoji u 6 nijansi, čije brojčane oznake nemaju neki logični slijed i pomalo su zbunjujuće. FAIR – 15 LIGHT – 10 MEDIUM – 25 SAND – 20 DEEP – 35 CAFE – 30 U Hrvatskoj su dostupne prve tri (ili prve četiri, nisam sto posto sigurna) dok zadnjih dviju, namijenjenih tamnijoj puti, nema u našim drogerijama. Ja sam kupila najsvjetliju nijansu, FAIR – 15. Maybelline na svojim stranicama za ovaj korektor još ističe da ne sadrži ulja ni druge štetne sastojke, da je dermatološki i oftamološki testiran, nekomedogen i bez mirisa. Korektor bi trebao pružati srednje do potpuno prekrivanje koje istovremeno omogućava da koža zadrži svoju prirodnu teksturu i svjež izgled. Kao što sam već napomenula, nijansa #15 je najsvjetlija. Nije žućkasta, već više vuče na neku bežkasto, rozikastu nijansu. Nijansa mi je osobno malo neobična. Ja sam neutralno-toplog podtona, ali za područje podočnjaka preferiram ružičastije nijanse (za usporedbu, Bourjois Healthy Mix korektor 52 mi je bio pre-pre žut) jer one lijepo osvježe i podignu to područje dok mi tople nijanse obično budu previše žute. Ova nijansa mi je na početku bila pretamna pa je preko zime nisam mogla koristiti, ali je zato ušla u upotrebu na proljeće-ljeto kad sam uhvatila malo sunca. Usprkos tome što vuče na ružičasto u njoj prevladava neka bež boja i meni ne djeluje osvježavajuće na licu. Rekla bih da nije baš savršena nijansa za moj podton, ali ako ispod nje dodam malo ružičastog korektora, situacija bude puno bolja. Naravno da se miješanjem dva različita korektora pomalo gube njihova izvorna svojstva (mijenja se moć prekrivanja, trajnost), ali s obzirom da sam se već navikla na to da mi je jako teško pronaći dovoljno svjetlu i dovoljno neutralnu nijansu, ja baš i nemam nekog izbora po tom pitanju. Vaš podton ne mora biti ni blizu tako zahtjevan kao moj i ako je tako, imate sreće :). Korektor inače ima spužvasti aplikator (poput onoga u sjajilima za usne). Ja ga inače koristim tako da aplikatorom nanesem par točkica na okoloočno područje (pazeći da ne pretjeram s količinom), zatim uzmem plosnati kist i izblendam ga lagano tapkajući po površini kože. Za dodatno blendanje rubova upotrijebim prste. S obzirom da imam dosta tamne i izražene podočnjake nakon ovog prvog sloja obično dodam još malo z korijen nosa i na mjesta gdje su mi podočnjaci najviše udubljeni i tamni, kako bi dodatno podebljala prekrivanje. Korektor je dosta gust i pri nanošenju treba paziti na to da se ne pretjera s količinom jer se inače neće moći lijepo izblendati. Također treba relativno brzo raditi s njim jer ako vam se posuši prije nego ga uspijete izblendati, ostat će vam nakupljen na koži. Prekrivanje koje ovaj korektor pruža je srednje do potpuno. Dosta dobro zakamuflira moje tamne podočnjake, a mislim da bi efekt bio još bolji da mi je sama nijansa još bolje pogođena, tj. da je samo mrvicu svjetliji a manje bež. Usporedne swatcheve s ostalim korektorima u mojoj kolekciji možete vidjeti OVDJE. Korektor se ipak uvlači u borice oko očiju. Ja ga obavezno fiksiram nekim laganim puderom u prahu ili kamenu ali čak i s fiksiranjem nakon par sati se zna malo nakupiti u boricama. Također imam osjećaj da tijekom nošenja blijedi na licu pa vam kako vrijeme odmiče podočnjaci znaju malo izviriti, ali to je zaista minimalno. Ja nemam običaj ponovno nanositi korektor tijekom dana (pogotovo pošto je prvi sloj fiksiran puderom pa bi to izgledalo katastrofa), pa bih voljela da je Fit Me ipak malo trajniji na licu. On obično počne blijediti prije isteka mojih očekivanih osam sati. Kao zaključak mogu reći da je Maybelline Fit Me solidan korektor drogerijskog ranga. Nudi dobro prekrivanje onima koji muku muče s izraženim podočnjacima poput mene, a sasvim je dobar i za prekrivanje sitnih nepravilnosti na licu. Ali da je savršen, nije. Čak i s fiksiranjem se uvlači u sitne linije oko očiju, a glavni razlozi zbog kojih ga neću ponovno kupiti su ti što mi u potpunosti ne odgovara boja i što bih ipak voljela da je malo postojaniji na licu.
