Review: Makeup: Make Up Store Wand Concealer

February 12, 2008 Paris B 3 Comments

I wrote previously about discovering that the Swedish Make Up Store was open in The Gardens at Midvalley. While I was there, I realised that it was an opportune time to pick up a concealer since my old faithful, the L’oreal Touche Magique concealer pen has been discontinued.

The choices for concealer at the Make Up Store are really quite mind-boggling, ranging from blemish concealers to concealers in palettes that you can mix and match for your needs. However, I only wanted a concealer for the undereye area, and so I was recommended the Make Up Store Wand Concealer in Medium. Medium is a shade that should suit most fair to medium fair skin tones.

As the name of the product suggests, this is a concealer that comes in a tube with a wand applicator. It brings to mind a lip gloss and applies the same way.

On the website, it says this:

Concealer Wand is a thin concealer that makes your skin even. It covers and lightens up dark skin areas. It is also great as a highlighter. Use it on your lips to reduce some of your natural lip colour and as a primer for your lipstick.
Key ingredients

* Vitamin E: (Tocopheryl Acetate) Binds and locks in moisture, balances dry and oily areas, stimulates cell production.
* Titanium Dioxide: Gives natural protection against the sun, reflects the sunlight.

However, I found that the texture of the concealer was rather thick. Also, I’m not sure if it was a packaging fault or if its a normal characteristic of the concealer wand, but the wand did not seem to pick up a lot of product. Each time I pulled out the wand and dabbed it on my skin, I found very little product transferring onto the skin so I had to re-dip at least twice. I did not like that as I found it unhygienic. I’m keeping it as a travel accessory for now as it is less prone to spillage or being squeezed out of a tube and will find another concealer for everyday.

Although the wand concealer did its job of concealing any undereye discoloration, I do not think that it makes a good highlighter as the texture is quite matt. With powder or foundation layered over it, there was no highlighting effect noticed. Medium was a good shade though, as it matched my skin colour perfectly.

A tube costs RM79 which I think is expensive since its only US$14 (RM46) online! Major marking-up happening! Make Up Store isn’t an expensive brand overseas and I think if the prices were less marked up, it might actually do better because they are very much like MAC Cosmetics and would give MAC a run for their money. So, that was a bit of a disappointment for me, as I anticipated their entry into Malaysia as providing Malaysians with a choice of reasonably priced quality makeup.

Pros: Good color match, Easy to travel with

Cons: Expensive marked up price, packaging is unhygienic, texture is thick and matt

    Thanks for reviewing this!

    I concur that it’s a little too expensive… been wondering whether I should get one myself, for the face.

    I’ve been using Origins Quick, Hide! wand concealer as it’s only RM52 and seems to do justice to my light scarring.

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

We just started retailing our dog treats @quandogtreats at our first offline outpost! We’re available exclusively at Lex’s Patio Pantry @lexpatiopantry, a brand new cosy spot in the heart of Bangsar. 

Housed at the base of Kapas Condominium, (enter from Jalan Penaga), you’ll find the brand new Lex’s Patio Pantry, a curated grocer with pantry staples and a little cafe set up offering breakfast and lunch. It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly! Scroll to the end to see what my efforts are like trying to get a photo with the kid 😒

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.
