Is The Maybelline 4-In-1 Perfector Worth It?
Established in 1914, Maybelline has been a permanent fixture in our makeup bags for decades. When they introduced their Instant Anti Age Eraser Concealer, it was the first of its kind that covered up your dark circles and fine lines flawlessly. It is one of the best-selling concealers in 20 countries worldwide (via Who What Wear). Their Great Lash Mascara has won more beauty awards than we can count for its affordability and lengthening and thickening formula, per Allure. Their SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick is considered one of the best for its staying power and range of colors (via TZR).
And now, Maybelline has made our lives easier by coming up with not just a 2-in-1 but a 4-in-1 product that works as a primer, concealer, highlighter, and BB cream. Its new illuminating formula from this drugstore brand comes in five self-adjusting shades and gives you light coverage. It looks like we have another holy grail product in our hands, and we want it. Let's face it, we are busy, and when we are introduced to a product that claims to be multitasking, we are always interested. Plus, it's nice to find a multitasking product because it declutters our vanity and makes it easy to travel with.
The Maybelline Perfector is an excellent dupe for high-end products
According to their website, Instant Age Rewind Instant Perfector 4-In-1 Glow Makeup is the perfect anti-aging product: a primer, concealer, highlighter, and BB cream in one. It comes with a built-in sponge for easy application and is available for just under $13 at Ulta. We have yet to know how well it works for dark skin due to its limited color selection, though it claims to have self-adjusting shades.
According to STYLECASTER, it is a perfect dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter but much cheaper, and we love a good steal. Its radiant finish blurs all pores and fine lines. You can wear it on its own or under foundation. SkinSAFE Products is a fan of this do-it-all makeup because it is free of fragrance, parabens, and gluten. Musings of a Muse compared it to Hourglass Veil Retouching Fluid because it evens your skin tone by providing light coverage without the hefty price tag. It is creamy and hydrating, but those with oily skin might find it a bit greasy. If you are a minimalist when it comes to makeup, it gives you maximum glow with minimal coverage and is great for those with dry skin (via Makeup.com). You can dab a little translucent powder over areas that feel too shiny. It is the perfect makeup for those who want a one-and-done no-makeup look.
