Comparison: Under-eye concealers

You may know that the Bobbi Brown Corrector has been a favourite of mine for a while now. I used to use it everyday and I found it covered any under-eye discolouration perfectly. I hardly have any left though, so instead of splashing out on a new one for £18.50, I thought I would try and find a slightly cheaper alternative!

I read a blog post mentioning the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint concealer and decided to give it a go. I really like creamy concealers like this that are in a pot, so this seemed a great option.

The main difference between these is the colour. The top swatch is the Seventeen concealer in fair, and the bottom is the Bobbi Brown Corrector in Porcelain Peach. The Seventeen one is obviously a bit darker, however I didn't notice that until I swatched them for this photo. Once blended under my eyes, both are a perfect colour match for me!

The texture of both products is creamy and neither are too heavy or thick, despite the Seventeen one being called 'paint' and 'heavy duty'! The Bobbi Brown one is a corrector rather than a concealer, however I find they both provide enough coverage to be used on their own. The Seventeen one does provide a little bit more coverage, but not a lot more.

I think from now on I wont be repurchasing the Bobbi Brown Corrector because the Seventeen concealer is only £5.49 and in my opinion, just as good!

Bobbi Brown Brushes

Hello! I have been loving Bobbi Brown products recently and especially their makeup brushes! Just before Christmas I bought myself the Powder Brush and Foundation brush and I thought I would do a review of these as I have now been using them for a while.

The Bobbi Brown Powder Brush is amazing and is honestly the BEST makeup brush I have ever used! It is easily the softest brush I own and I have used this everyday since I bought it.

I find it applies my face powder amazingly well whether I want to sweep, buff or push powder onto my skin. The only bad thing about this brush is that I do find it sheds a little bit. It's not everyday I use it and when it does shed it's only a little bit, so I don't mind too much!

I am very tempted to buy another one of these and start using it for my bronzer too!

I also bought the Foundation Brush which I have been using not quite everyday, but almost! I did mention this in my Favourite Foundations and Foundation Brushes video.

I don't usually like traditional, flat foundation brushes, however this one is lovely to use. It doesn't feel as much like I am 'painting' foundation onto my face like other flat foundation brushes can. It is very soft which means it blends foundation very easily and flawlessly.

I use this with my Bobbi Brown Long Wear Foundation and I find the two together leave my skin looking flawless and my foundation lasts all day!

I absolutely love both of these brushes and I am already looking at which Bobbi Brown brushes I can buy next! I do think they are pretty pricey but now I have tried them, I definitely think they are worth it.

These are available here.
