ELF studio concealer pencil and brush [review with swatches!!] [photo heavy]

ELF studio concealer pencil and brush in medium

I am sooooooooo excited to tell you about this awesome awesome product!!!!!

If this were to be featured in an ad...they would say something like..

"Do you hate it when that dreadful pimple comes along and ruins your whole look? 

Not to worry - because here comes the magic concealer pencil from ELF cosmetics.. 

and it even comes with a free brush too!!!" *annoying voice*

you get the point. haha. Now on to the review..

This is HANDS DOWN the most full coverage concealer from ELF and I'm sooo glad I got this.

There are some things you guys should know though. 

When this thing comes along.. 

The sharpener side comes on the pencil and the cap comes on the brush. SWAP THEM.

Why? to prevent the concealer pen from getting dry since air can get through the sharpener.

THE SHARPENER

I tried the sharpener.. Not that it's the best sharpener ever, but you know.. it's free and works just fine, especially on the go. 

THE BRUSH

This was such a huuuge surprise to me. 

I was expecting a cheap feeling coarse  not-dense-at-all flat brush I'll never use. 

This is sooo smooth. 

It is dense enough and you can use this with liquid concealer too, works just fine trust me.

It is somewhat round, not really flat, kind of like a blending brush, but more stiff.

I love the brush in this product and it works brilliantly

THE PACKAGING

you, know - 

two sides, 

one brush

one concealer pencil

two caps - which again - you have to exchange in order to prevent the concealer from drying

one of the caps is a sharpener

very portable

sleek looking

THE CONCEALER

AMAZING coverage

perfect for pimples,

no matter how huge

THE SHADE

MEDIUM: this was somewhat wrong.. as a shade, a bit too dark. I got it in medium.

But you can place a creamy concealer on top in order to blend it to your skin..

I use the all over cover stick in honey over it, and you can't even tell it's not the right shade.
Has yellow undertones.

 LIGHT: this is a shade or two lighter and has yellow undertones to it as well.

PERFORMANCE

It does tend to get a little cakey if you don't apply it properly..

and I definitely don't reccomend to use it underneath your eyes or over large areas,

it would seem a little too much I think

LASTING POWER

Lasts all day on me, once you set it with powder and don't touch it.

BOTTOM LINE

I adore this. 

Do I reccommend?? Hell yes!! 

Would repurchase but I don't think I'm using up this product THAT fast !

ELF studio concealer pencil and brush in medium - you can see how well it concealed my veins - regardless of the fact that it doesn't match my skintone xD

P.S. compared to the all over cover stick the coverage is much better.. 

but obviously the all over cover sticks work better for the under eye area or large areas :)
