Best Multi-Purpose Concealer

By Anne Fritz, About.com Guide

recently read that concealer is the beauty equivalent of a power nap. So true! There's no quicker way to fake a good night's sleep or cover up a blemish than with a good concealer. We all need a go-to one in our beauty arsenal. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector is mine. Read on to see if it's right for you.
How Does the Concealer Work?
The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector is actually a highlighter and concealer in one handy tube. The light reflecting highlighter end has a brush for easy application, while the concealer end has a wand for spot coverage.
How Do I Use It?

Apply the highlighter under your eyes to cover dark circles or in the corner of eyes, along the brow bone, in the cupid's bow of your lip and along the sides of your nose to add luminous touches to your face. Blend with your fingers or a makeup sponge.

Dot the concealer on blemishes, age spots, broken capillaries or other areas you want to cover. Don't overblend, because you'll lose too much coverage. Let is set for 10 seconds before applying foundation or powder on top.
How Did it Perform?
I used the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector under my foundation and powder. The concealer didn't budge the entire day. I added a touch more highlighter in the afternoon to brighten up the dark circles under my eye. Even on a second application, it didn't settle into my fine lines, like other concealers I've used. The tube slipped easily into my purse for on the go touch ups.
Is It Right for You?
If both concealing and highlighting are part of your makeup routine, you can't beat Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector. It's unbelievably handy to have both in a single product. I particularly like the highlighter as it's similar to the far pricier cult favorites YSL Touche Eclat. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector comes in four shades from light to dark.
