As thesenior beauty editoratGlamour, I’m constantly testing the latest and greatestbeauty products.
Every now and then, a new launch comes around that really knocks me off my feet.
I was first introduced to the product during aMakeup by Mariolaunch breakfast by the man himself,Mario Dedivanovic.
But nothing could prepare me for when I tried the product myself.

I’ve always gravitated toward neutral concealer shades that are atadlighter than my foundation shade.
IMO, nothing ruins a makeup look more than concealer that’s too light and bright.
To avoid this, I’ve kept my shades pretty tame.
But this is Mario Dedivanovic we’re talking about, people!
He is the king ofcontour.
The snatched makeup look is his signature.

The difference was striking.
My right undereye looked instantly lifted and my dark circles were erased.
The product felt weightless, like I wasn’t wearing any makeup, and felt like my natural skin.
After applying the product to both sides, I looked completely rejuvenated.
My eyes were much brighter and the tired bags and dark circles were pretty much nonexistent.
This concealer also works beautifully on spots and blemishes.
The formula is medium-coverage but can be built to a more opaque, full-coverage look according to your needs.
It’s a testament to the shade range.
Though Makeup by Mario sells a concealer brush, using your fingers works just as well.

As for its staying power, this concealer does not budge.
My undereyes look just as fresh after a long day of wear, with little to no creasing.
The $29 price point is consistent with more prestige makeup brands.
I’ve certainly used concealers that cost more than Makeup by Mario’s with not nearly the same results.
Once you try it, there’s no going back.
