Colorbar Full Cover Concealer
Review
Hello
everyone,
Concealers
can be an easy way to cover the spots or blemishes provided if you chose the
right color. They can be great in achieving a flawless looking skin, to vanish
the dark circles and getting a brighter looking under eye area.
In
this post, I will review Colorbar concealer which is meant for full coverage.

I
got this concealer around 4 months ago I suppose and have been using it for
most of the times while doing eye makeup to cover the shadows under my eyes and
some veins.
Here
we go, with the review.
Price:
It comes at 495 INR for 5g with a shelf life of 24 months.

How to Use: The best way to apply this product is
with fingertips as it will warm up the product before application. Pat lightly
onto the places where you need to cover and then blend the edges away for
smooth finish. It can also be applied with a firm brush or latex sponge.
Ingredients: They
are mentioned below in this picture and yup, it does have Preservatives …. Parabens
!!!

My Experience:
This Colorbar concealer is ideally my first concealer as earlier only foundation was enough and I struggle
more with the puffiness which is hereditary in my case than the circles under
the eyes. But these days, I realized that due to busy schedule I have noticed
some shadows. I say shadows because when
I am outside they are not visible at all but in shade a little darkness under
the eyes is visible. So, I have to be careful in applying concealer else
outside it can look weird if it is used too much or not blended properly.
This
concealer comes in a round pot with a silver mirror finish lid. It looks like Nyx concealer in a jar. It is only 5g
but it will last longer.
It
comes in 6 shades to choose from. I got mine in Sand beige 003. It’s suitable for fair to medium skin tones but I
will recommend checking the shade at the counter under proper lighting.

It does not have any fragrance. Texture of this concealer is very thick, but still creamy which is adequate enough to give proper coverage. It’s a jar packaging so I apply it with a clean finger or concealer brush. I also realized that it’s not easy to put finger in this tub as when I do that it gets into my nail, so, I think using a clean brush would be better.
All
you have to do is to pat it on the targeted area, lightly blend the edges and
then set it with a powder. It says that it has SPF 25 so as to give UV
protection. I use faces concealer brush.
I
have used it quite a lot of times and it is water proof upto certain extent
only.
While
using concealer on the under eye area make sure to use your ring finger.
I
also apply it on my lids before eye makeup to get rid of the redness or any
pigmentation.
This
is the present condition of this concealer and it kind of gets a little dry so I
swirl the brush on the top layer to warm it up. You can also scoop out a little
and then use your finger which warms up the product more for better
application. It looks more yellow in the pot.

You
can apply your concealer over or under your foundation, or if you can pat it on
the area that needs coverage, skip the foundation and then use the compact
only. This is the swatch which is not blended and below is the picture to show how it covers the veins on my wrist area.

In the picture above, I have used a little concealer on this area and patted lightly. You can see the effect and the coverage. It has covered the veins though not fully.
Like most of the concealers it does crease. setting up with powder may help a bit.
All right then time for its pros and cons of Colorbar Full Cover Concealer.
Pros of Colorbar Full Cover Concealer:
- It is easily available online and Colorbar counters
- Available in 6 shades.
- Price is okay since a little can go a long way.
- Complete list of ingredients mentioned.
- It does not have any fragrance.
- Waterproof to some extent.
- Travel friendly packaging
- Does cover nicely and gives a less than full coverage.
- Texture is thick but still easily blend able (edges) and does not give patchy finish
Cons of Colorbar Full Cover Concealer:
- Gets a bit dry over the time so taking a little between your fingers and then rubbing can warm it up a bit for better application.
- Tub pack makes difficult to use with fingers. using a brush would be better.
- Creases if used too much
Rating- 3.75 out of 5
My take:
It is a decent product. If you need a concealer for a flawless skin, then do try it. It works pretty
well provided you get the right shade and don't mind spending that much. You have to be careful in using it as it dries fast.
great review dear i love this concealer but it turns dry very soon after opening. thank you
ReplyDeleteThank you dear :)
DeleteEven that is the only problem i think it has.
Looks good! You said it gets dry but does it appear patchy too?
ReplyDeleteIt dries but while applying it gets warmed up and blended easily.
DeleteNice review....mine dried up very soon....may be I don't apply it regularly may be once or twice a month!
ReplyDeleteThank u Puja. may be due to the whether or i use it when i do eye makeup. not regularly as i do not used makeup daily.
DeleteI like this review! It's sad that this concealer gets dry, but that's because it is not oily. Acoording your pictures looks like it covers skin very well.
ReplyDeleteExactly its oil free and have a thick texture. but still it works well, just warm it up a little with your fingers. :)
DeleteIt does have a pretty good coverage. Nice review :-)
ReplyDeleteThanx Gogs, it does a decent job as a concealer. :)
DeleteNice review... this looks decent for beginners :)
ReplyDeleteThanx Sukanya.:) beginners may find it easy to just pat it and blend the edges so as to not make it obvious.
DeleteGreat review Niesha....I m using Colorbar stick concealor and this looks promising too....Will buy it next :)
ReplyDeleteEven i saw their stick concealer, but then i thought while sharpening, a lot of product will be wasted so choose the pot one. :)
DeleteI have the stick concealer. Not using concealer these days as my sinusitis is worse and ntn can cover it :( Reviewed well :)
ReplyDeleteThanx Raaga.:)
DeleteI can understand dear. Even i do not use them daily.
wow very nice review..do u use it under eyes?
ReplyDeleteYes, preetha, it is creamy enough to make the circles less visible. But i apply very lightly and set it with powder else they can crease.
DeleteI was just thinking about this very concealer today morning. Loved your review on it. Sad that it dries up though. I decided not to get any products that dry up like my maybelline gel liner, so much goes to waste :(
ReplyDeleteOhh is it. :)
DeleteBut its creamy. Dry in the sense that its very thick so when we lightly rub it between your finger tips, it gets creamier and then you can pat lightly on the area. This is how I have used it for the demo pic.:)
oh ok, then i can think about getting it :) hehe
Delete:) Hope you like it dear.
Deletenice review.... :)
ReplyDeletewill it hide my acne scars..??
thanks Shambhavi. It will upto certain extend if you find the right shade.:)
Deletelooks nice. im def trying this one:)
ReplyDeletevisit my blog and let me know if we could follow each other on gfc and fb

yup, sure Sanaya will do soon .:)
DeleteFull coverage and cream texture . Love it :)
ReplyDeleteso far worked good:)
DeleteI too had bought this to cover a pimple mark and I have the same shade. Agree on the coverage but mine dried up within 6 months of buying :( It's not hard yet but it's too dry to spread on the skin. So not worth the price.
ReplyDeleteIt is a decent one Gagan :)
Deletei think may be its too thick due to that. I will try putting it in a hot water with lid closed tightly. Let's see what happens. maybe it gets more creamier.
Will update the post then .:)
:) thanks Niesha. I was thinking of mixing a small quantity with a moisturiser and using it as eye primer. not sure how it wud turn out though
DeleteOf course, it can also be done. :)
Deleteit would work good since moisturizer will help sticking the shadow and this will even out the lid. :)
Nice Review Neisha...I was thinking of buying this one and thought it will be heavy on my skin...will try once :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Radha. It will be a little heavy. I bought it to use it around my nose and little under the eyes. :)
Deletehow do i follow your blog? i love your reviews!
ReplyDeleteThank you Prerna.
DeleteYou can either put in your email address, join via google Friend connect, facebook or twitter.
They all are on the right side bar.
wow...i love creamy concealers...going to try this soon
ReplyDeleteIts creamy but then the upper layer gets dry so have to manipulate to use it.:)
DeleteNice review! Btw does it crease??
ReplyDeleteThank dear, it does crease like most of the concealers if used too much or have lots of lines.
Deletehey Prachi, for under eye dark circles so far the Aroma Magic cream has helped but even i have not found any sure shot way yaar.. still searching. since most of the under eye products does not seem to work effectively on dark circles.
ReplyDelete:)
I've seen so much about this brand from Indian vanity case! I love the shades of eyeshadows and blushes from them! In terms of concealers I'd love on from laurier mercier or mac this year!
ReplyDeleteYup, I saw you there Sharlynn at Cynthia's blog. She is just amazing. I like Colorbar products as they are affordable and works great. :)
DeleteHmm, Looks good.. I have ran out of concealer... will chk it out..thnks :)
ReplyDeleteDo check it dear, hope you like its texture and it work well for you.:)
