What I’m Loving Now: Mary Kay Concealer
I have been a Mary Kay nay-sayer for years. All that pink, the “sisterhood”, the pep rallies and the recruiting hasn’t been for me. So I had never really given Mary Kay products a fair shot. I couldn’t imagine some mom with a sideline gig telling me anything about makeup because after all, I’m a “professional” makeup artist.
Well, I have made a 180–regarding Mary Kay products that is.
I was recently sent some Mary Kay to evaluate. The first item I dove into was the concealer, as concealer is my top 5 beauty product obsessions.
I tried Mary Kay concealer. And on first usage, I applied too much. And that’s a good thing. This concealer is perfect. Dense, creamy, full-coverage with an amazing color match. (I’m Bronze 1) And the outcome is that I LOVE this concealer.
If you are familiar with Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer, you would swear this is almost the same product.
Here’s the claim:
Blemishes, little imperfections — nothing that a bit of concealer can’t fix.
Why I love it:
- Creamy — does not cake under my eyes
- Full-coverage — even covers my nasty little marks
- Color — the color is spot-on; not so beige that it turns ashy
- Price: $10
Mary Kay Concealer gets a whopping 5 Blings!

Thanks for the review, but I would have loved a swatch. What MAC shade would you say suits Bronze 1? I’m about a MAC NC40 at darkest(pretty burnt though, so maybe NW40) and somewhat lighter than NC40. I am in between Laura Mercier’s 8 and 9 in the powder foundation, 8 being the closest though. Do you think you could help?

Hi Jennifer,
I will update this post with a swatch. It’s about 4 years old, and I still use this concealer in my rotation, I love it. If you take a look at my photos in the “Meet Tracey” section at the top, you will see that I’m on lighter side of medium. I don’t wear M.A.C, but I think that nc40 may be close to my shade. I think that the concealer may be a tad dark for you, and that Beige2 might be a better match. I will dig through my concealers today and get this updated for you by tomorrow. Thank you for stopping by. Tracey.

You should try their acne gel. It’s really nice and it works fast. Their liquid foundation is also nice

Thanks for your comments. I will have to check out the liquid foundation. No acne here…

I LOVE this concealer as well! Try the Medium Coverage Liquid Foundation and the Mineral loose powder! They are all my Holy Grail Products!
