I’ve been on the hint for the perfect concealer for some time. It’s been a while since I posted my concealer review, of the Estée Lauder Disapear Smoothing Cream Concealer. So I thought it was high time to share my thoughts on another concealer, the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Eye Concealer.
I always like to preface reviews with my own personal physiology. I have inherited my Grandad’s darkness under the eyes, which are also dry. To counter this, I use the La Roche-Posay Hydrating Eye Cream at night, which I have found really helps this dryness.
The Maybelline Instant Anti-age Eraser Eye concealer only comes in 2 shades in the UK, Nude & Light. I have the shade in the shade Light. This concealer can be purchased from Boots, Superdrug & most supermarkets for £7.99. You can often pick this up in 3 for 2 offers, so that’s worth looking out for.
The concealer is applied directly using its sponge applicator. I then use my ring finger to blend. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they don’t like the sponge applicator & that they remove it. I rather like it though as it makes my ‘makeup-on-the-go’ (literally putting my makeup on in the car!) days simpler. Personally, I have nothing against the applicator. I find that it evenly distributes product & is easy to use.
The slightly dryer (though still fine for use on my under eye area) formula helps the longevity of the concealer. Even without powder I can last a full day without creasing & only minimal lines becoming evident!
I only apply this concealer under the eyes. It is too dark to take it down to create that highlighted Kim K look. The shade Light is very yellow (even for my skin tone!) & it wouldn’t look right! I wish there were a bigger shade range. I wouldn’t repurchase this because I find it too dark for me. I’m hoping to try the Brightening version, but this isn’t available in the UK. So it very much depends on whether I can get it online from the US.
So, I would give the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Eye Concealer a 4/5. The price is good, it blends well & stays put throughout the day. However, two shades is not enough for the vast array of skin tones in this country.

I keep meaning to pick one of these up to give it a try, however I wasn't aware only two shades were available?! Seems a little silly. I'll definitely have to have a test to see if it's too yellow for me before splashing out, I think!

I completely agree with you Sam – I initially thought that they only bought the two shades out in the UK to test the waters as to how it would sell & bring the other shades (available in the US) out subsequently. I believe there are six shades available in the US. There's always the option to purchase from eBay, but then you can't swatch products & can't guarantee the products are genuine (& are the shade they're supposed to be!)! Let me know if you do pick it up & what you think! Xx
I really want to give this a go and I am in desperate need of a concealer for my eye bags but I hate it when the colour range just doesn't cut it AND I am SO pale xxx
I completely agree Jessica! It's such a good concealer too. A friend in the US is sending me the 'brightening' shade – I'm hoping that this will be a better shade. If it is I'll definitely be getting more from eBay! Xx
