Laura Mercier Undercover Pot Concealer

Happy Saturday, everyone! I've decided to start my weekend with a review! Today's product is from my favorite face makeup brand, Laura Mercier. A few weeks ago, I did a haul post featuring the Laura Mercier Oil-Free Flawless Face Kit. Today, I'll share with you my thoughts on the Laura Mercier Undercover Pot concealer that came with the kit.



I am so glad the Undercover Pot, Oil-free Tinted Moisturizer and Oil-Free Primer actually came in one glorious kit. I've been itching to try the mentioned products for the longest time! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Laura Mercier!


The Undercover Pot contains two concealers and a setting powder. The top part of the pot houses the Secret Camouflage concealer (left), an oil-free concealer for blemishes and other imperfections, and the Secret Concealer (right), a creamy concealer for under-eye circles. Unscrew the top part of the pot and you will find the Loose Translucent Setting Powder.



L-R: Secret Concealer, Secret Camouflage, Loose Setting Powder

Both concealers have great coverage. I absolutely love Secret Concealer for my under-eye circles because its creamy formulation lets me apply the product on my sensitive eye areas smoothly. This is the best under-eye concealer I've used so far. Secret Camouflage is harder to apply because of its consistency. It's definitely more solid than Secret Concealer, which makes blending quite difficult. I don't hate it, but I feel like I'm scraping off my foundation when I blend it on my skin. I remedy this by warming up the product with my fingers before I application. The Loose Setting Powder is great because it's translucent. It won't give you uneven skin tone or anything like that. I'm so tempted to get this one in a large pot!


PROS:

  • The concealers have great coverage
  • Secret Concealer's creamy formulation
  • The Loose Setting Powder's translucent finish
  • Okay longevity
  • Packaging

CONS:
  • Secret Camouflage's consistency
  • Price tag

VERDICT:
I love this product! I reach for this everyday now. Although I still prefer Benefit Boi-ing Concealer over Secret Camouflage, 2/3 of the Undercover Pot is still pretty good. If you apply concealer before foundation, my blending issue shouldn't be a problem for you.

  1. Well I can see thep concealer product is quite very popular in our area - as I can see many are using it. But I don't know why I am not into using it. I just don't know how will it satisfy me as well.
