Lakme Absolute White Intense Concealer Stick with spf 20 ~ Product Review, Pictures and Swatch

So, yesterday I was tweeting about how I have found on that the best concealer that worked for my dark circles is garnier tinted eye roll on much to the dismay of my own self. I have been telling everyone how horrible it is and what not,, but now the situations has reversed.


I am facing dark circles right now, reason being I am not taking proper diet and also lack of sleep. Stressing on petty stuff is what I am doing at the moment. Somehow in pics its not showing at all but trust me you meet me in person and you are surely gonna ask me whats the matter with you!!


well,, I will be showing how good the garnier one has fared on me in another post but this one is all about the Lakme Absolute White Intense Concealer stick.

This was part of my violetbag haul and the second and the last thing I bought from this particular Absolute Range.


Its a thick cream based concealer which comes in a roll on stick.
I have been using it for the past 10 days and I have relatively mixed feeling for it.
Its good for concealing scars or blemishes,, works pretty decent with it.
But if you have dark dark circles,,I mean the quite noticable ones then its not your knight in shining armour ,,you have to search some more..!!
I have found that it settles within the fine lines under my eyes and accentuates them even more, much like you have age lines under your eyes .


Furthermore it only comes in two different shades which to my sensibilities is not the best thing to offer in the cosmetic market.
This particular shade does not match my under eye area but then it matches my skin at other areas on my face quite well.
I dislike the consistency it has, its not soft creamy that can be blended with fingers nor is it liquidy to be used easily by a brush.
I find it hard to blend,, and thats not good for a concealer.


A lot of product wastage too ~ while taking out the product I always see that my fingers absorb so much of the product and does not transfer even 50% of what I take out on to my problem area.
Packaging is not good ~ at 450 bucks I think anyone deserves a decent packaged product. It has a plastic cover that gets dirty because of the concealer every time. Also it looks kinda cheap.


The shade I got is Light medium and there is one more shade ~ medium to dark.
Its just that as a concealer for scars or blemishes it works pretty decent but when it comes to concealing dark circles its a bummer.
a ) It doen not blend nicely under the eye
b ) sticks to the fine lines and make them more prominent
c ) doen not conceal my dark circles, makes me look sick.

Trust me when I say I have dark circles..its not showing much but still..think panda eyes for a sec will you!!
also see in the after pic,,the fine lines under my eyes are more prominent than in the before application pic. 


It has spf 20 which is a good thing.
I personally feel that if you have to use it then there is no need to set it with a powder because it is quite dry and kind of sinks nicely into the skin.
There are only 2 shades in this range ~ Light to medium and medium to medium to dark,, I find this hard to believe,, and to top on that both of these shades are almost same,,like 90 % same.

The things good ~


1. covers scars and blemishes well
2. Does not need to be set with a powder
3. SPF 20
4. Stick form ~ Hygienic


The things not so good ~


1. Blending is a issue
2. Not for super dark circles
3. Makes the fine lines under the eyes look more obvious
4. Does not blend easily under the eye
5. Only 2 shades. Matching your skin needs is a issue here
6. Quite dry to my liking
7. Bad Packaging


Price : 450 INR


Recommendation : No please, colorbar stick concealer is a better option,, this one is good only for concealing spots and scars.


I will post my take on the Garnier Eye tint roll on soon
