So I know this another Rimmel review and you’re all probably thinking, wow, this chick likes Rimmel she should rename her blog Rimmel, if there was ever a love story like Romeo & Juliet it’s this girl & Rimmel - but really, it’s just because they’ve had so many products released in Australia in the last few weeks that have been put on pedestals in the blogosphere, so naturally when I see them in the shops, I freak out!

Now one product that caught my eye is the Wake Me Up concealer.
I don’t really know what it is but I have been obsessed with concealers this
year and when I read about them I was like, must.find.now! Unfortunately it
was not available anywhere! Like we’re talking the display was there but no
stock put in, or the illuminators were where the concealers should have been
(the ultimate tease right?!). Anyway, I was in Coles (bless them) and I found
it!
So here are some swatches if you’re anything like me and
have been itching to find the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in Australia.

Perspectives
I got the shade ivory on a whim as there are no testers
available in the supermarket, so I got the lightest colour I could to be safe (always
best to have a lighter shade for under the eye) and I must say, it’s a pretty
good go-to concealer.
I would say that it’s a medium coverage concealer at most
and can’t really be built up too much because of its thin consistency. It’s more
like a liquid than a cream which is great for blending – as you can see in the
photo above it virtually sinks into the skin – but isn’t so great for
significant coverage. On the plus side, it feels light on the skin and is not
cakey at all! So if you want that not wearing make-up feel, Wake Me Up
concealer is most likely for you
The concealer has really fine shimmer in there like the
rest of the range so I wouldn’t recommend using it for blemishes as it’ll just
highlight those things right up. For under the eye though, it is pretty damn
good. Granted, I don’t really have very dark circles under my eyes, but for the
darkness I do have it suits perfectly.
Unfortunately, the shade range leaves a little to be
desired. I got the lightest shade available in Coles and significantly hope if
its released anywhere else there will be more colours because anybody with a
paler skin tone is probably going to have no use with this concealer.
To put it simply, as far as comfort goes, this puppy is
fantastic relative to many other concealers I have tried, but if you’re looking
for a highly pigmented concealer for really dark under eye concealers I’d
probably have to recommend something else (perhaps the Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless Corrector if you’re
looking for a similar price range). I find the days that I am looking really
tired I just use a pink dark spot corrector (loving the Priceline brand Models
Prefer one at the moment) with the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer on top and that
works a treat.
Worth the hype? In writing it down, I’m not really
convinced; but despite that it’s probably not the best concealer in my
collection, for some reason I keep reaching for it every day and that’s got to
be worth something right???
Much love
Lisa.
