Concealer vs. Concealer

Konnichiwa!

I wanted to compare my Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer ($6) to my Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil ($18)

Everything within this post is based on my opinion and my experience and you may not feel the same way.

Basically, what I plan on doing is comparing qualities such as packaging, texture, application, performance, etc. 

I will put my opinion of the two at the end.

To begin!

Packaging.

As you can see, the Hard Candy concealer is in a tube and is more of a "creamy liquid."

The concealer is packaged in a cutely designed tube with a color scheme of black and pink.

It squeezes without a problem and applies easily.

Whereas the Urban Decay, however, is in pencil form with a creamy texture.

This concealer is packaged in a sleekly designed pencil with a color scheme of purple and silver.

It is hard and feels very durable.

Next, Texture and "Blendability".

(Swatches were done on the back of my hand in natural light.)

I used a thin lined square box to show how far the product could be blended.

 Application.

The tube applicator of Hard Candy's concealer.

 The pencil applicator of Urban Decay's concealer.

 Color.

On the Hard Candy concealer, the color shade is a sticker placed near the end of the tube on the back.

The tube is see through which gives you a clear perception of the color.

I'm in shade "Light"

On the Urban Decay concealer, the color shade is printed on a color swatch near the end of the pencil.

For me, this swatch was very accurate.

I'm in shade "CIA"

Amount.

 Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer holds .71 oz.

 Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil holds .12 oz.

My Opinion.

As far as packaging goes, I think I like Urban Decay's concealer pencil more. It feels durable, the cap goes on securely, and it's very sleek and cute looking to me. However, the Hard Candy concealer has much more product in it and doesn't require as much when it comes to applying.

I find that the Hard Candy Glamoflauge concealer blends easily and is more of full coverage where the Urban Decay seems more light to medium coverage and doesn't cover everything I'd like it to alone.

When it comes down to it, I like the Urban Decay concealer, but I don't love it.

I bought two of them for five dollars each because they were on sale, along with the primer potion, they normally retail for eighteen. I personally wouldn't pay full price for the Urban Decay concealer.

Just to be clear, the Urban Decay concealer is not bad by any means.

Just in comparison to the Hard Candy, in my opinion, it is more convenient and and efficient for me.

Winner? Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer

Hard Candy's Glamoflauge 'Heavy Duty' Concealer

Hoi!

I wanted to do a little review on Hard Candy's Glamoflauge concealer because it's been a favorite of mine for a couple of months now.

(It also comes with a concealer pencil but that wasn't featured in this review.)

I use it pretty much every time I do my make-up and it has never made me break out.

(Which is always a good sign)

―P.S: No brushes were used in this demo, just the concealer and my hands.

Pictures! :D

Believe me when I say, a little goes a long way with this concealer.

 So you can get an idea of the texture.

Tadaa!

Pros:

▪ Creamy

▪ Blends flawlessly

▪ Covers blemishes, redness, scars, darkness, etc.
▪ Only $6 (USD).

Cons:

▪ Can be cakey if you apply too much.

▪ Only three shades.

It's really creamy and full coverage. As I said, it has never made me break out and it doesn't feel cakey on my face. It works very well, I haven't really noticed that it moves around a lot on my face and it usually stays put for hours and hours. I have this concealer in the shade LIGHT.  (Because I'm so white, huuhuu x_x)

On the back of the tube they let you know they do not test on animals, a big plus.

I feel like this one tube will last be for such a looong time.

It's six dollars at Walmart, I'm not sure if that's the only place it's sold but I think for the value it's a super cheap price for this product. Not to mention, the packaging is super adorable. I'm not sure why but when I first got this, I kept playing with the cap. 

I was so fascinated with the way it felt. (I'm weird..)

I'm going to do a comparison between this and the Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil when it arrives. (can't wait for that) Since I've heard how creamy that is.

I recommend this for anyone who wants a full coverage concealer. This covers really well on pretty much anything. I wouldn't put too much, however, as I've heard it can look cakey. (Though I've never experienced this myself I can't say whether or not it's true. However any product can look cakey if you apply too much, really.)

For anyone interested, they come in three shades: Light, Medium, and Tan.
