SEVENTEEN PHWOARR PAINT HEAVY DUTY UNDER EYE CONCEALER


If you're like me, and quite often stay up too late - you will know that it ain't a pretty sight the next morning. My skin is very pale and around my eyes I have blue undertones that can cast a noticeable shadow under my eyes if I haven't had enough sleep, so a good under eye concealer is essential for me.

My favourite one of the moment is by Seventeen and it's their Phwoarr Paint, a "heavy duty under eye concealer". They aren't kidding. I've tried under eye products like this in the past, and to be honest i've never found one stand-out product that i've been impressed with. Plus, whenever I see a product labelled as "heavy duty" all I immediately think is "cakey". However, I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem.

I'm in the shade fair, which does match my skin tone but I do wish it was just a touch lighter. Personally I just prefer under eye concealers to be slightly lighter than my foundation, but I can overlook this because the product itself is fantastic. It covers the discolouration under my eyes in seconds and stays put all day. On my skin is has an almost-matte finish and doesn't crease at all, so I don't have to worry about touching it up during the day. I also use it around my nose area and it completely covers any redness there too. 

This product is under £6 and if you struggle with discolouration or dark circles under the eyes, you might find this to be worth a try!

  6. Great post... I also suffer with dark under eye circles. The concealer has a definite peachy colour to it, which will be perfect to counteract under eye circles. Definitely need to get this.

    1. Aw really? It could be the foundation you're using under it if it's a matte finish. I also don't set my under eyes when I have this on and that makes a big difference on me :) xx

  9. I may give this a go - I am suddenly plagued with dark circles for the first time in my life, and struggling to find a concealer that doesn't crease. x

    1. It's definitely worth a try if that's a problem area for you. I actually prefer it to some of the higher end correctors, covers everything! x

  10. I love the sound of this, but I don't think it's going to be light enough for me, which is a shame as I'm looking for something to cover up my dark circles! xo

    1. Try it out because i'm as pale as they come and the 'light' shade is fine for me. It's not as dark/yellow as it looks in the pot x
