Hi Guys,
In today's video, I tested out 2 full coverage concealers which have exactly the same promises - one is a brand new product, and the other is a cult classic and holy grail product of mine.
In this video, I pitted the cult Mac Pro Longwear Concealer against the new EX1 Fluide Delete Concealer. I had never tested out the EX1 concealer before, so this was my complete first impression.
I have loved the Mac concealer for years, and have been constantly repurchasing it, as it's medium-full coverage, doesn't look caked and looks very natural on the skin. It stays put all day, and I have never had an occasion where it's budged from anywhere I have placed it. This concealer paired with the Estee Lauder Double Wear are the perfect combination for bulletproof and waterproof makeup. You will look the same from when you first apply it, until after 20 hours of wear! It is literally perfection!
The EX1 Fluide Delete Concealer is a new product which they've just launched, and it's had so much buzz in the celebrity world, as well as in magazines and on instagram. I deliberately made sure to not see any reviews of this concealer, as I didn't want it to influence my first impression, as I was completely unaware how it would blend or cover. I've been a big fan of EX1 for a while now, so I was very excited to see that they had just released a brand new product. The fact that it promises it to be full coverage without looking cakey, was something that really drew me to it. Also, the fact that Margot Robbie is a huge fan, sort of swayed me to buy it as well! 😉
As I wanted to make sure that both shade were the same shade or incredibly similar, I wasn't too sure which shade I needed to buy. The shade names are the same as the foundation, so it's easy to find which shade you would be if you were spot concealing, and they recommend going a shade lighter to highlight. I originally purchased the shades 4.0 and 3.0, as I'm usually 4.0 or 5.0 in the foundation. After swatching these on my arm next to the bottle of my MAC Concealer, I knew that they were way too dark to match, so went ahead and purchased 2.0 in the hopes that it wasn't going to be too light.
And, as it turned out, 2.0 was the perfect shade!
Both concealers have a warm undertone, so I thought that they would practically be the same shade. I was wrong because EX1 are for olive skin tones, and there's a bit of a difference in the undertones from warm and olive - sometimes warm, can come across as orange or red, and olives are strictly brown-yellow.
The shades that I used in this video are NC20 (MAC) and 2.0 (EX1) and they were a great match! Even though they're incredibly close in shade, the undertone of the Mac concealer is pretty pink, and I've always thought of it as quite yellow/neutral.
