Bargain Brightening: SEVENTEEN Skin Wow Concealer
The past few weeks have been a bit of a clicky-pen-concealer-testing flurry in my house. This Paul & Joe colour correcting one has been a bit of a hit for particularly blue-circled mornings, and this Seventeen* one has become a hit for a number of reasons, mostly because it's actually a concealer, where the Paul & Joe one isn't.
At just £4.99, it's a bit of a bargain too, particularly for something which can be used to brighten the undereye area, to add subtle highlights on the cheekbones, browbones and cupid's bow (not that I know anyone who does that for a normal day's makeup), and basically anything you'd use Touche Eclat for. The similarities between it and Touch Eclat are obvious, from the golden clicky pen format, to the well-pigmented-but-not-heavy texture, to the brightening that doesn't come from glitter or shimmer. Skin Wow blends well, and remains in place throughout the day - on dry skin days I find it does settle a little into my fine lines, but only after six hours or so, and it's only noticeable if I scrutinise my undereye area. A little more eye cream than usual helps prevent any settling.
Given that Skin Wow is £4.99, and Touche Eclat is upwards of £20, and they're both just as great at brightening my undereye area, I know which I'll choose to repurchase. Hint: it's not Touche Eclat.

* I know they want me to use ALL CAPS now but I can't bring myself to do it in a chunk of text. A title, sure, but throwing some ALL CAPS into a review feels a bit too shouty. Apart from when I'm making a point, of course, such as right now.
