Bourjois's Health Mix Illuminating brush concealer

I'm sure that every beauty fanatic has heard of the oh so wonderful YSL Touche Eclat concealer before. At first glance, the Bourjois's Health Mix Illuminating brush concealer seems to be a dupe! It has the same tube like applicator with a synthetic brush on one end while the other end has a turn/click system that helps to dispense the product. It's meant to help with concealing and also highlighting! A 2 in 1 product. 


ILLUMINATING AND ANTI-FATIGUE ACTION

Its innovation: A practical brush tip pen releases just the right amount of formula for a precise application, perfect for touch ups on the go!

• Double action concealer for a brighter complexion and an instant anti-fatigue result!

• Conceal those imperfections in the stroke of a brush and smooth away dark circles.

It is enriched with light reflecting pigments to illuminate the darker areas of the face. Its unifying texture will glide onto the skin with a feather-light feel and give you a truly illuminated result!

Available in 3 natural shades suitable for all skin tones

What I think?

The consistency of the concealer is not very thick but also not very watery. My skin type is combination skin with random dry patches especially around my nose and between my eyebrows. When I used this concealer I found that it made my fine line really noticeable. FYI I didn't pay attention to them before I used this product. It really made them show up.

I'm really disappointed because I had high hopes for this concealer. Apparently it's meant to be a dupe for YSL. Although I haven't tried the YSL for obvious reasons ($40AUD+ in Australia) I'm thinking that this product wouldn't be even close.

Although I personally don't like it, it may just be my skin type. Reading reviews online it seems that there are many different opinions on this product. It seems that it works for some people, while for others it doesn't. It might work better for people with oiler skin.

PRO's
-Easy to find
-Light feeling
- 2 in 1 product (concealer + highlighter)

CONS's
-The dispenser was horrible!It was unpredictable in how much product came out. (refer to picture above)
- I'm pale but when I used this, it made my under eyes look SUPER white.
-Small colour selection
-Cakey and dry
-On the pricer side

Sorry to say, I really disliked this product. I wouldn't recommend this to my friends.
