Benefit Fake Up Concealer

Monday, March 18, 2013



Those cheeky BeneBabes, really pulled it out the bag with this product, its perfect for me.
I love anything of the "stick" variety when it comes to cosmetics as I'm mega lazy in the morning and would much rather have an extra ten minutes in bed than spend time faffing about with foundation and concealer brushes.


I went along to the Glasgow launch of in House of Fraser's Champagne bar to try and "Solve the Mystery of Fake Up!"
I love Benefit events, they are always great fun and I love meeting up with other bloggers.
The champagne bar is gorgeous I've been in a few times and its always so welcoming (The champagne helps with this too). We were greeted with some lovely drinks, canapes and I adored the cute little Benefit, Fake Up cushions adorning the seats.


Fake Up is Benefit's newest concealing product. Housed in a very sleek and shiny silver case it looks very much like a high end lipstick as it is also a twist up product. (Hopefully you won't get it mixed up and end up with rouge under your eyes, not a good look.


At first glance, Fake Up could be just your average concealer however upon closer examination (under large, detective style magnifying glass of course) the pigmented concealer stick is encased in a hydrating ring of Vitamin E and Apple Seed Extract. This helps the concealing core to blend into the skin effortlessly and last around six hours without creasing.


There is nothing worse than concealer settling into fine lines around the eye area and Fake Up was designed to solve this issue. Its non greasy and feels cooling and light when worn around the eye area.


Fake Up comes in three shades, Light, Medium and Deep. I was a little worried initially that the shade range wouldn't suit everyone but the Deep should help to lift and brighten darker skin tones.
I've been using a mixture of all 3 shades since I got them, I use the Light shade to apply in a triangle shape under my eyes to conceal any dark areas, and down my nose as a highlight.
Medium is great for concealing any blemishes and Deep makes a fantastic contour shade.
I'd happily use all over my face if I didn't think they would run out too quickly.

  After a lovely evening with Benefit and a lot of fun detective style costumes and themes. It turns out, the mystery is, that there is no mystery at all... Fake Up is just plain fab!
Fake Up* is available from Benefit counters and the Benefit website and retails at £18.50 for 3.5g of product.
