This is the perfect concealer – you’re welcome!

Looking for a good concealer is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Especially if you expect a lot from your cover-up. With this in mind, here’s a concealer that ticks all my boxes – and even racks up a few bonus points.
I have a certain way of dividing brands in my mind. Young, trendy ones go in one pile, while dusty ones whose products are left waiting on old, cardboard pharmacy displays until they can be flogged to unsuspecting customers go in the other. Despite never having used any of its products, I’d pegged Erborian as the latter. As it turned out, I was a little hasty with my judgement.
Last year, Erborian underwent a major social media image boost. Beauty buffs were raving about its CC product range designed to combat redness. My own scepticism, on the other hand, refused to budge. Until Erborian launched its new Super BB Concealer, that is. The company gave me a sample to test, and I now begrudgingly admit that I’ve joined its swarm of adoring fans.

My new favourite concealer shows me what it’s made of
Let me tell you one thing. With me, a concealer has its work cut out for it. I want it to feel light on my skin while providing enough coverage. It should also moisturise my face without settling into my fine lines. Plus, it’s got to last a long time – even if I haven’t laid it on thick. Basically, I want the area around my eyes to look fresh, smooth and bag-free without anyone thinking I’ve touched it up. To my surprise, Erborian’s new product checks all these boxes and more.
Two dabs under each eye is enough. A fingertip or brush will do the rest. Though its more of a thick formula, it can be applied very thinly, contributing to a particularly natural finish. And the best thing? The result lasts all day long. Erborian actually promises 12 hours of hold. I’ve never tried wearing the concealer for that long, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this were true. And if you do need a little extra coverage over the course of the day, the formula can easily be reapplied over your make-up.

In this product, Erborian has combined aspects of skincare with make-up. The tube with its doe-foot applicator contains five per cent niacinamide to reduce dark circles and pimple marks, ginseng extract to moisturise the skin and mineral UV protection with SPF 25. This isn’t exactly earth-shattering, but I always welcome a little extra protection on top of my normal sunscreen. The concealer comes in five different shades.

The Super BB Concealer is the first Erborian product I’ve tried and learned to love. And I doubt it’ll be the last. I’ve since moved the brand into my «cool» pile, where it’ll stay for the time being.
There are over 80,000 beauty products and counting on the Galaxus website. That’s quite a range. And why I like to regularly share my favourites – from a selection of both novelties and classics.

When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
