No7 Trio Concealer

Ever since blemishes first appeared my on my face (which is painfully too long ago) I have faithfully used 'Rimmel's' 'Hide the Blemish Concealer' stick.  It provided great coverage and was available in shades which blended well with my skin tone.  Perfect.  But, whilst buying other 'No7' products recently, I came across 'No7 Trio Concealer'...at which point my loyalty faltered.

The palette that the trio is stored in is very simplistic and not particularly eye catching, but other products from No7 have given good results, so I thought I'd give it a try.  I've included photos of the trio so that you can check out the casing and the shades included (you'll have to excuse that it is a little messy - it is testament to the fact that it is well used!).

The shades of concealer in this trio are perfect for hiding both blemishes and dark under-eye circles.  The lightest shade (top left of the trio) is brilliant for concealing dark under-eye circles - it brightens and lifts the area nicely.  It is well pigmented but also blends easily, so as not to stand out under a powder or foundation finish.  I usually use a combination of the lightest and medium shades to conceal under my eyes.

The medium and darker tones blend together well to conceal red areas and blemishes to provide a good base for foundation or powder to follow.  For blemishes, this trio provides a medium coverage which is perfect for day-wear.  A real plus point is that the cream-based formula isn't drying.  This product can be applied, and blended, using either a brush or your finger but as we're dealing with blemishes here it is important to remember to keep tools clean so as not to cause further break-outs.

The trio retails at £10.50 and can be found in most Boots stores.  Boots are currently running a ‘3 for 2’ deal across their cosmetics ranges - so I recommend buying slightly more expensive products like this when these deals are available.
