The Best Concealer at a Fraction of the Cost: NYX Pot Concealer Review

It's always exciting to find a holy-grail product that not only works wonders but is also budget-friendly. As makeup enthusiasts, we're always on the lookout for affordable yet effective products, and our search has led us to the Tarte NYX Pot Concealer, which has won our hearts and earned its spot as our Best Overall concealer.

One of the things we love about this concealer is how creamy it feels when applied with your fingers. However, you can also use a damp sponge or brush to achieve good results. What's key is applying it one under-eye at a time and blending out as you go for a seamless finish. This concealer dries quickly, so be sure not to apply too much product at once to avoid a cakey look.

If you prefer a more sheer coverage, simply dab the wand tip on the back of your hand, pick up a small amount with your ring finger, and blend out under your eyes or on top of blemishes. With a single swipe of the larger doe-foot applicator, you can achieve full coverage with ease.

Our main tester used Tarte as part of her full-coverage makeup routine to cover up acne scarring, and she was thrilled with the results. The long-wearing concealer boasts a full coverage, satin-matte formula that lasts for 16 hours, and its shades range from very fair with pink undertones to very deep with peach undertones. We found it easy to choose the correct shade, as it perfectly matches what's described on the bottle.

For those who have used Tarte Shape Tape concealer, you know why it's a cult favorite among makeup enthusiasts. After testing this product, we can see why it's practically synonymous with 'concealer.' Whether you're looking for a reliable, affordable option or seeking to upgrade your makeup routine, the NYX Pot Concealer is definitely worth considering.
