Almay Wake Up Under Eye Concealer

Almay Wake Up Under Eye Concealer is a brand new concealer from the brand for Summer 2011.

Have a look!

I was tempted to indulge as I’m a concealer junkie but I held back as the packaging on this concealer isn’t too appealing. It’s a squeeze style pen with a brush application. I think it would prove rather messy to use! I will say all the shades have a heavy yellow base which will prove excellent for diminishing darkness!

What do you think?

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I think that Kate Hudson’s shirt makes her boob look split in two! Freaky!

    As for the concealer I’ve been burned so many times I won’t be bothering…I wish I could find a concealer that works for me some day though.

      lol wasn’t paying attention but yeah…kinda does look weird tammie ;-D! I think that’s why I didn’t pick it up, drugstore concealers are always a bust for me :-/

    Will you try it one day and write a review on that for us? Pretty please? =)

  • Bun Bun Makeup Tips

    I always look to your blog for swatches! =)

    I had the regular version of this (not the wake up) and the pen was terrible. it cracked up at the top after one day so i’d have to pinch it together before squeezing product through the brush. the concealer wasn’t great enough for me to keep doing it, so i tossed it. i’ll have to admit though, the whole wake up idea sounds lovely on my tired eyes

    • the Muse

      aw cait sounds crummy :-/ same here, name it wake up and I feel like I need to try it for my tired eyes ;D!

    • Kaye

      Agreed, the regular version is the eye base + concealer, and the packaging is baaaaad! I ended up depotting mine. It was an okay concealer but nothing to write home about. Interested in the wake up version, though! It just SOUNDS good. 🙂 Buuut I’ll wait for reviews, haha.

    L’oreal touche magique is my under eye solution. I was using byTerry touche veloutee but it came out to nearly 70$CAD after taxes. Do you have touche magique in the states yet? Rimmel match perfection is quite good too. You should check out the makeupalley reviews for them. Thanks for the hard work and posts!

      hey stephanie we don’t have that one yet sadly :-/ My pleasure! :-D!

    I got excited and then it slowly dropped. I’m pretty sure we are all looking for that perfect concealer that doesn’t break the bank. *SIGH* I had the Revlon one in the red tube but I Iost it! Why must concealers be such a pain in the butt? Well, I guess the search continues…<3

    • the Muse

      aw telly I’m always curious if I’ll have find a cheap concealer that works ;-D sadly concealer is def a splurge imho!

    Ugh I hate the packaging with a fiery passion!!
    I tried the Almay Bright Eyes eye base + concealer which has the same packaging & within two days, the top snapped off! Although, I actually like the product, I think Almay needs to switch the packaging to a bottle w/ a doe foot applicator.

    • the Muse

      mmm ashley I thought so…that’s what I didn’t buy it…the packaging seems crap!

  • Amber

    Yea I have the bright eye concealer too and mine cracked at the side on the part that you screw the top onto 🙁 And it sucked too because the actual product itself isn’t half bad. I still use it though, I just squeeze it and get the product out of the crack. I’ve heard other complain about the packaging as well, I don’t know why they insist on using it.
