Match Perfection Concealer Reviews

This product is hands-down the worst concealer I have tried and I'm a little surprised because the foundation in this range is wonderful. It claims to be a skin tone adapting concealer, well sorry my skin is not orange!

It comes in a 7ml soft squeeze tube with a synthetic brush applicator tip and a screw on cap and is made in England. It dispenses easily and applies easily to the skin with the brush - that's all I can say that's positive. It goes onto the skin a deep orange colour and the 'tone adjusting' bit never happens for me, it stays that colour.

Maybe it could maybe be used as a corrector, but it is the wrong shade for me to be useful for that and the coverage is sheer at best and turns into a scaly mess on my eye or nose area. I've never had a concealer with that scaly patchy finish, it's quite awful!

Cannot say anything positive about this product, I have no idea how the other reviewers made it work, my skin is pale but it's not real porcelain princess territory so all I can say is paler girls maybe give it a good swatch to see if it would work with your skin tone.

I've used this for years and keep repurchasing. I love it. I use it under my eyes, around my nose for coverage and as a soft contouring highlighter.

Here are some key things you need to know about this concealer:
* Its coverage is light. If the shading around my eyes or nose is too dark, I do need to use a colour correcter underneath.
* It blends beautifully. Perhaps it's the colour match technology, perhaps it's because the formula isn't too thick, perhaps it's magic. But this blends out so well that you can use it with foundation or bare faced for a fresh, youthful look.
* The lighter shades are perfect for brightening under the eyes. I have light to medium skin tone and use 040 Soft Beige. I've used this same colour for years regardless of whether I'm tanned or paler and it brightens and blends beautifully each and every time.
* I do also use other concealers for different reasons, but this has been a staple in my collection for close to 10years now. So, when I don't have time or am going for a lighter look, this is the one I grab for.
* I sometimes use it as an eyelid primer and regret it each time. I find it a little too creamy for that, so it creases on my lids pretty much always, but never creases under the eye.
* It comes in a tube with an inbuilt brush applicator. I love the brush: being able to squeeze the product through the brush gives me better control over how much I apply. I then smooth it out with a beauty blender.

I used a primer first and this product lightens my dark circles under the eyes perfectly.
It creamy and smooths on well. Have tried more expensive brands, but always have to had a little of the Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer. Not too keen on the packaging, so annoying, I like the Maybelline sponge applicator. Will keep on purchasing the Rimmel and keep on looking for another product that is easier to use.

I bought this concealer after wanting to try something new than my usual one. The concealer functions well for what it is intended. I bought this in the ivory shade and found that it did match my skin tone really well and I usually struggle to find a good match, most are usually too pink in undertones. After reading other reviews, perhaps this is testament to its claims that it matches your skin tone. Pretty clever if so! I use this mainly to spot treat my blemishes and redness around my nose and chin. It does this well, though I did notice it does start to fade towards the end of the working day.

So when I first bought this I didn't realise the applicator was a brush and not a wand. I just assumed it was a wand. I don't use the brush to apply concealer to my face rather using it to squeeze onto my fingertips for application instead so the brush is absolutely useless. The brush applicator also prevents a lot of product from being used towards the end as its impossible to squeeze out. You could probably cut the tube open but by the end I can't be bothered.

Despite the annoying packaging, I did end up repurchasing the product again. After going back to my "usual" concealer, I found it too pink in tone and reverted back to this one again. So until I find a better match for my skin tone, I will stick to this for now.

Purchased this due to many Youtubers recommending it. The formula really did 'adapt' to my skin tone. Upon application it was quite light and yellow-toned. After blending it out it matched perfectly (hence the name... Match Perfection). The coverage was light-medium, leaning more towards the medium side. It improved the appearance of dark circles, thus providing a brighter and more highlighted effect. It lasted decently but not throughout the whole day.

I disliked the packaging a lot - it was the main reason I stopped using it about halfway through the tube. The brush applicator gets super messy/gloopy and you never know how much you're squeezing out. I thnk it has to be my least favourite packaging for concealer as I prefer traditional wands for them.

All in all I wouldn't recommend it. My favourite affordable concealer is The Saem's Cover Perfection Tip Concealer (Korean brand) and you can get it for around $7.

The concealer itself is okay, not particularly heavy coverage, more of a light to medium (if you worked at it), but by no means the worst concealer around. It doesn't build up particularly easy, but for light coverage, it blends quite well and easily. However, the applicator is less than ideal. You have to squeeze quite a lot for any product to come out, and then almost too much product comes out. The brush tip applicator really isn't ideal for applying concealer under the eyes and is most of the reason why it's so hard to build up a good amount of coverage. Additionally, the tube isn't particularly big and I don't imagine it would last very long with continuous use.

I was really surprised with the fact that the lightest colour in the range was not only light enough for my skin, but was actually light enough to act as a highlight shade as I have always struggled with finding drugstore concealers that are lighter than my skin tone. The formula is extremely creamy and not drying in the slightest. Although the brush-like applicator probably isn't the most sanitary, I quite like it. It makes it easy to apply and to control the amount of product being used. I did find that this had a hard time covering up my dark circles and blemishes. Yes it would highlight/brighten the areas nicely but still some discolouration would peak through the product. If it wasn't for the light - medium coverage, I would have rated this product 5 stars.

I use the shade Ivory as a highlighting concealer for my eyes. It does a great job at brightening the under eye area whilst also giving a little bit of extra coverage. I use a higher coverage, skin toned concealer first and then apply a bit of this concealer over the top and it looks great. The formula is a bit thick so I prefer to use a damp sponge to blend it out. I use powder to set it and it does not look cakey or crease throughout the day.

The only negative about this product is the packaging. It is packaged in a squeeze tube with a brush tip. Like other reviewers have mentioned, it is hard to control the amount of product that comes out of the brush tip. More product comes out than necessary for both under eyes which means there is product wastage (any excess product on the tip gets all messy in the lid when you close it). Also, you can't get every last drop of product out unless you cut the tube open. When I cut my tube open, I found that there was a lot of product still pooled inside the bottom of the tube. The amount that was still left in the tube after I could no longer squeeze any product out was enough to last me almost a month of every day use!

It is very affordable and contains a decent amount of product for the price. Plus, you can always find Rimmel on sale somewhere.

I do like this product, despite the annoying packaging, and I will repurchase it.

I absolutely love this concealer but it wasn't love at first sight. When I bought it, I didn't think too high of it, probably because I was expecting more coverage, whereas this is a beautiful, light coverage concealer/illuminator which I now use not only under my eyes (where it does a great job!) but also on other areas of my face that need a bit of cover.
It's super smooth, creamy, not heavy or cakey, it blends like a dream and is very economical.
I'm not a huge fan of the packaging but for the price and for what it delivers, I can easily forgive it for not having the best packaging in the world.
Would definitely repurchase and highly recommend!
