This Charlotte Tilbury concealer has been flying off the shelves since it launched, here's what happened when we tried it

PRODUCT:

Magic Away Concealer, £24, Charlotte Tilbury

THE HYPE

When Charlotte Tilbury's been working on a product formulation for over 20 years, you better believe it's the sh**.

Dubbed a 'trusted miracle stick that is the solution to help cover skin issues in one swipe' by the cosmetics queen herself, this nifty little pen had a lot to live up to. Charlotte assures us that it reduces the appearance of dark circles, pigmentation, redness, blemishes and imperfections in just one swipe.

Speaking at the launch of the product, the beauty guru told us: “For me, the perfect concealer didn’t exist; there's been nothing I’ve found like this on the market, until now!

“I have always found that concealers either cover blemishes momentarily and then tend to cake around a spot, drying the skin, and leaving it poking through, or they do disguise it but it’s so heavy, it leaves you looking far too chalky. The ones I tried were often chalky, cakey or drying. There was never one that provided flawless, poreless-looking coverage. I liken it to a magic wand because it makes your skin wishes come true. It targets the spots that need concealing, stretches over areas you want to appear smooth and helps covers up tricky red patches." Oh, and she also claims it lasts for 15 hours. No pressure then, Charlotte.

Since launching, the concealer has been flying off the shelves every two minutes. So what's all the fuss about and is it worth buying? We tried it out to uncover exactly that. Here's what we thought...

BEAUTY BIO:

An olive-hued complexion thanks to this sensational British summer but as well as a dose of bronzing, said weather has also given me eye bags to rival a Basset Hound (too much rosé and late night BBQs, anyone?).
