‘It doesn’t crease or cake,’ makeup lovers go wild over $8 concealer that is a ‘dupe’ for high-end brands ‘but better’
SAVVY shoppers are raving about an affordable dupe that they are giving a perfect rating when it comes to covering imperfections.
They are in disbelief over the budget-friendly buy that they say hides their blemishes for a fraction of the cost.
Makeup fans couldn’t make up just how impressed they were with their favorite find that reminded them of more pricey products.
The NYX Professional Makeup Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Contour Concealer, which is available in a range of shades, is on sale for $8.38 on Amazon.
They had found plenty of reasons to rave about the buy.
“It doesn’t crease or cake, even after hours of wear,” said one purchaser.
“This product offers incredible coverage, effortlessly hiding blemishes and dark circles. The formula is lightweight and blends seamlessly into my skin, providing a natural, smooth finish,” they added.
They were also impressed with the concealer’s “long-lasting performance.”
Others were shocked at how similar the concealer was to other higher-end brands.
“Dupe for Shape Tape – just like Shape Tape but better,” said one shopper.
Shape Tape refers to Tarte Cosmetics’ much costlier Shape Tape concealer which sells for $32.
Another shopper agreed with their assessment of the steal.
“I love it way more than my Tarte concealer. It’s easier to blend and is less dry than Tarte’s which I much prefer. It stays on all day, and works well with my other makeup,” they said.
They are also obsessed with how the find gives them a “natural” look.
“I’ve found this product to be a perfect dupe for NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer for a fraction of the price,” said another.
“One of the very few concealers that are light enough for my skin tone, and even at the end of the day there’s little to no creasing,” they continued.
Also selling for $32, the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, available at Sephora, is almost four times the price of the NYX buy.

Others were also thrilled with their affordable purchase.
“It’s very moisturizing and doesn’t leave my skin feeling chalky. It hides my under-eye bags/dark circles well and doesn’t make me look scaly! I love how easy it is to blend as well!” said one buyer.
Another was loving the less expensive find for its staying power and easy application.
“This stays put all day. My absolute favorite concealer by far. It applies easily and evenly with a brush and dries quickly. A totally matte finish that looks natural,” they said.
“I am in my early sixties so my face is no longer baby-smooth, yet this product has worked well for me for several years,” they continued.
They recommended the buy for those struggling with the loss of pigmentation as it helps to “even out” your complexion.
