About My Skin: On the dry side with tired under-eyes

I often find that my under-eyes can have a naturally tired appearance. To combat this, I've built a meticulous pre-makeup routine with a focus on moisturizing my delicate under-eye area. When I prioritize hydration, I've noticed that my concealer tends to hold better, especially when using my trusty favorites from Dior and Kosas. I love achieving a bright, energized under-eye area, but I want it to look natural, not overly done. To see if the Catrice True Skin Concealer would achieve this, I experimented with two shades that looked like a potential match for me: 005 Warm Macadamia and 001 Neutral Swan.

How to Apply: Layer to Desired Intensity

Applying the Catrice True Skin Concealer is similar to applying any other concealer. You'll want to start by dabbing the concealer gently on areas of desired coverage, using minimal product at first and gradually building up if necessary. To blend seamlessly, opt for tapping movements with your ring finger, a brush, or a sponge. It's up to you which of these you prefer: The warmth of your finger aids in a natural blend, while a brush or sponge ensures an even distribution.

The Results: Long-lasting full coverage

When I first swatched the Catrice True Skin Concealer upon its arrival, I was pretty impressed with its lightweight texture. I applied a small swipe under my eyes and blended it with a beauty sponge, as I found that it worked better than using a brush. Initially, the coverage seemed super light, so I added another layer and liked the result much better, while a third layer achieved impressive full coverage. I noticed that the product slightly accentuated dry patches under my eyes, but it didn't look too noticeable. I headed out in 29-degree weather to grab brunch with a friend, and even many hours later, I noticed that the concealer was holding strong.

I tested the concealer on both natural makeup days (when I only used concealer) and glam days (with foundation), and I found that I enjoyed it most in combination with foundation as part of a more involved makeup look. I do wish that the formula was more hydrating, as it can dry a bit chalky on drier skin, but if you have oily skin then this finish might work better for you.

The Value: A steal for the quality

As an avid fan of concealers, I can confirm that the Catrice True Skin Concealer provides impressive bang for your buck. Priced at only $7, this product features buildable coverage, major staying power, and truly made my under-eyes look much more refreshed. The concealer's main drawback is hydration—while it's not drying, a more hydrating formula would likely be better for dry skin types. Because of this, make sure to moisturize well under your eyes, especially if your skin tends to be on the drier side. That being said, this concealer provides buildable, high-performing coverage that makes it a true steal for its budget-friendly price point.

Similar Products: You've got options

NYX Professional Makeup HD Photogenic Concealer Wand: This NYX concealer ($6) provides a natural finish and covers dark spots, redness, and dark circles without caking. 23 shades are available, providing a wider range that surpasses that of Catrice's True Skin Concealer.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer: This versatile, multi-use concealer ($11) is useful for coverage, contouring, and correction. While the applicator may not be a crowd favorite, the product delivers a lightweight, hydrating feel. It's more expensive than Catrice's offering, but it does offer a wider shade range at 18 options.

Final Verdict

The Catrice True Skin Concealer truly lives up to its name. The formula has a lightweight feel yet is buildable to your desired level of coverage. While it could be more hydrating to cater to those with dry skin, its coverage and staying power make it a particularly high-quality product, especially for its affordable price point.
