My love for Kiko Milano seems to know no bounds. Yes I don’t love all of their products, but many of them I do. They do some excellent products that compete with high end and luxury brands at a fraction of the cost. Their Skin Tone concealer is a particular favorite and so I was happy to try another concealer by the brand. This is my review for the Full Coverage Dark Circles concealer.
My main reason for wanting to try this is two-fold: I had never seen this concealer before and it comes in a bunch of shades. 24 shades to be exact. For Kiko Milano that is a lot as they usually only have a handfull and it’s not super inclusive. This range doesn’t come in many deep shades, nor are there many too light (they still have some catching up to do) but it is a step in the right direction at least.
Review: Kiko Milano Full Coverage Dark Circles concealer 01
In terms of price point Kiko Milano falls into that middle ground that is drugstore pricing. So this isn’t the most affordable of the drugstore brands, but it is still well-priced. At €11.49 this concealer has a fair price point. It is not too expensive and with the amount of discounts Kiko usually gives out, you can easily get this for less.
What does this concealer have to offer?
The Kiko Milano full coverage concealer is one that I was a bit nervous for. I hardly ever go for full coverage these days as it usually results in a dry and cakey mess. But this promised to be a full coverage, longewearing concealer specifically for use on the under eye. So that had me intrigued. The finish should be natural, the formula easy to apply and the blendability should be effortless.
How does this swatch?
From the first swatch I kind of knew this concealer would not be a favorite for me. The shade was a bit darker and yellow than expected (and this is the lightest shade, no. 01). It also goes on opaque in one swipe which is a bit more coverage than I normally go for. However, it has a rich and creamy formulay which was unexpected. It blends easily, a little goes a long way and upon initial application it looks very natural and blends seamlessly into the skin.
What is the coverage like?
This is a full coverage concealer and that’s exactly the kind of coverage we get. This makes light work of covering up any redness and my dark circles. There is one issue though: it doesn’t last well on my t-zone at all. Now I know this says it’s a ‘dark circle’ concealer but I usually use concealers on several targeted spots on the rest of my face as well and this isn’t the one-stop-shop concealer I want it to be.
Should you buy the Kiko Milano Full Coverage concealer?
I think this is a great looking concealer for sure. It lasts well throughout the day has a good amount of coverage. The blendability is spot on, it is easy to use and I love the way this looks at first. However, throughout the day I feel this breaks up and starts looking streaky. It especially doesn’t last very long on my nose which is usually not an area I struggle with my makeup breaking up. So while pretty, this doesn’t last all day and that is a shame because the product is really nice. Maybe if you don’t have dry skin this may work better for you.
