Here’s a handy little fact that may or may not come as a surprise–roughly 25 percent of of Australian women spend more than $150 on beauty buys every single month. There’s no doubt in our minds that concealer is included in that swag.

We applaud your commitment, but let’s get sensible here. You need to eat.

What makes this product so good?
Apart from the fact that it’s very cheap and seriously works as well as more expensive concealers, I think a big reason this is popular is because of the range of shades. There are 25 of them, so it suits all skin types and is really versatile in that you can use it to conceal, correct, contour or simply brighten.
Colour correctors tend to be products where you can generally get away with a cheaper price. They’re worn under your top layers of make-up, so if blended and set correctly, they have a greater likelihood of living up to their claims of being long-lasting – compared to foundations and powders.
But, be careful to watch for creasing and don’t overdo it! L.A. Girl Concealers tend to have more pigmentation, which is great for the life of the product (as you need less per use) but if you use too much of one colour, you can look like a bit like abstract art.
