It is time for a new blog post and today I am going to be chatting all about the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer. When this was first released, I wasn’t that interested in trying it out. To be honest, Huda Beauty products in general never really seemed to attract my interest.
To me, I saw it as another Instagram brand releasing makeup, and it didn’t interest me that greatly. Plus, when this was released, I was truly in love with the Tarte Shape Tape, and I couldn’t see myself deviating. However, TikTok got to me. Everybody and their mothers have been using the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer and I needed to try it out for myself. Here are my thoughts on this cult classic item.
Why I wanted this concealer.
As I mentioned above, the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer has been all over the internet for such a long time. There was hype when it was first released, but I didn’t feel the need to purchase it. However, when I saw the cool girls using it on TikTok, I felt like I was missing out. I needed to try out this revolutionary product that was taking the world by storm. I think that same day I logged onto the Cult Beauty website and purchased it as fast as I could.
The shade range.
As soon as I recognised that I needed to get my hands on this, I began to look into it online. Instantly, I became incredibly overwhelmed with the vast range of shades. I think in this Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer alone there was around 50 shades. So many different shades and undertones. I really would imagine that almost everybody would be able to find a shade that would work. It took me a while because I wanted to make sure that the colour I chose was perfect for concealing and highlighting. In the end, I settled for Marshmallow, and it is perfect.
The consistency.
As soon as you pull the wand out of this product, it is easy to see how creamy it is. The product on the applicator looks pretty thick, but when as you apply it to the skin and move it into position, you see that it is nothing but creamy. It moves around the skin wonderful and with a great amount of slick so that there is no dragging on the skin. But beyond that, with a damp Beauty Blender it buffs out within seconds so that it is seamless with foundation. There are very few concealers that I have enjoyed using, like I have with this.
The coverage.
In terms of coverage and concealers, I need something that is more or less opaque. I show my tiredness underneath my eyes. I don’t necessarily get eye bags, but I do get very blue underneath my lash line. Normally that is a challenge for the best full-coverage products on the market. However, it doesn’t seem like anything to this Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer. I knew that it would be a full coverage item, just as the Faux Filter Foundation is. However, it was nothing compared to this Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer. One swipe and my complete lack of sleep is gone.
The longevity.
So many times, I have mentioned how long I need my makeup to last. When I get ready in a morning, I need my face to stay on, stay put and last me all day long. Normally that is from around 7am in a morning to 10pm in the evening. It is a long ass time, but it doesn’t seem to be a test at all for this Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer. It has never seemed to be a challenge and it always looks just as good in the evening as it did first thing when I first applied it.
Compared to other items.
As I mentioned above, the main reason why I didn’t want this Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer, was because I was in the thick of my love affair with the Tarte Shape Tape. However, when I think about this in comparison to some of my other favourites, I have nothing but good things to say. It stands out for so many reasons. I think something that shows my love for this is the fact that I have used nothing but this since I first picked it up. That alone speaks volumes.
