17 Phwoarr Paint Review

Hey again! I'm back this week with another makeup review, and this time it's 17's Phwoarr Paint Concealer. As you all know, I'm constantly on the lookout for my HG concealer that can battle even my dark circles, and this seemed like a pretty good dupe for Benefit's Boi-ing Concealer. 

I picked mine up in the shade Fair, which is a little light for me, however with the amount that I use and the fact that I put a tiny dab of foundation over the top, this really doesn't matter. 

I did really struggle with this at the start-so much so that I considered giving up on it and investing in Benefit. However, the coverage was too good to let go and so I developed a little technique that meant I could keep using it without it looking too cakey. 

It does have a tendency to crease, however this isn't too bad and I'm willing to put up with it for the coverage it provides, and there isn't any caking, provided you use a small amount. 

The packaging is pretty darn sturdy for a highstreet product, and the little mirror makes it perfect for on the go-something I wouldn't be hesitant to do! 

Here's a lovely before and after!:

As you can see, the peachy colour really works well to counteract my dark circles, and the coverage is excellent, even using a tiny amount. It also hasn't caked, even on my constantly dry under eye area-yay! 

Does it live up to its claims of being heavy duty?

Yes.

Has it made HG status? 

No, due to it's difficulty to use and tendency to crease. However, I will be using it all up and it is a fantastic little concealer for the price.  

This little gem will set you back the grand total of £5.49. Will you be purchasing?
