Well well well. The showdown between this two famous concealer in the market is here. I finally managed to get my hands on Huda Beauty Overachiever Concealer. Boy, it is pricey in Sephora but lucky for me, I have a seller who brings in all overseas authentic products for a slightly cheaper price than Sephora.
A lot of you out there wants a full coverage concealer to conceal those huge ass dark circle. Yes, I hear you loud and clear there beauties. Let's dive in and have a look at these beauty for a little close up.
First off, let's talk about Huda Beauty Overachiever Concealer.
Huda Beauty Overachiever Concealer was officially release on 8th October 2018. Huda Kattan teased us since June 2018 about them launching a concealer. Only somewhat around August or September that Huda Kattan keep us on our toes about her new launch of concealer and all the shade range.
When it was finally release, I keep checking out the prices in Sephora which cost $50 SGD. When I found out that this local seller sells authentic overseas brand at a slightly lower price, why not get from here instead of Sephora right? You save a few bucks and you can buy something else with that little money you saved from cutting cost 😛 You can check out her IG at Makeup Haven Cosmetics. I will leave the link below. Feel free to check it out.

Now, let's have a look at what the concealer was promised to do.
- Packed with 31% pure pigment and multi-action skincare actives. The Overachiever is not only covers and conceals, but also soothes the delicate skin around the eyes with every application.
- Multitasking formula.
- Developed with tired eyes and long nights in mind, the formula works to disguise the appearance of dark circles, hyperpigmentation, redness, age spots, and discolouration with a matte finish.
- Creamy formula infused with Green Tea and Jericho Rose extract.
- Green Tea - known to erase signs of discoloration or stress.
- Jericho Rose - known for its soothing and moisturizing properties.
Feel free to zoom into the pictures.
As you can see from the picture, it comes with this applicator that is usually for an eye cream which is called "Cooling Zamac Tip". It is said that the "tip" helps to sooth puffy under eye and with it being cooling, it helps the under eye to feel less stress and relax. Not forgetting that The Overachiever is a squeezy tube, in case you are particular about it. The Overachiever has 10ml of product with a range of 20 shades.
My thoughts on The Overachievers.
I love Huda Beauty Demi Matte and Matte lipsticks. Don't get me wrong, just that I'm very particular when it comes to concealer. My concerns for a concealer are:
1. Conceal my dark under eye circles.
2. Not drying to the point where it literally make my fine lines super visible.
3. Doesn't cake at any point of time after application.
I feel like Huda Beauty for me is a no-no. Let me tell all the goods on this product first.
It is creamy to the texture and it is very pigmented! No kidding on that. This is when we say "Less is More!" You really need the tiniest amount to conceal the whole under eye. It is easy to blend and it is very full coverage. It is also a buildable product, so don't go crazy with a whole lot of it because it will get cakey.
The bad point about this concealer is that it is too drying for me. On the whole, my skin is very dry and I work in the office for at least 9 hours daily and my skin tends to be drier mid-day. So I don't quite like it. Because my skin is very dry, the concealer tends to settle in between my fine lines making it more prominent. It has a jasmine smell too that I don't quite like. (that said, I don't drink green tea either). The Overachiever is perfect upon application but after an hour, you can totally see my fine lines being obvious. Usually when it comes to very dry under eyes, I would use a face oil under my eyes to let it stay moist. I'm using Tarte Maracuja Oil for my under eye as an extra step to keep it moist. Sadly for me, I can't use my Tarte Maracuja Oil as The Overachiever will move! The Overachiever literally can't sit on top of my Tarte Maracuja oil and that got me wonder. It's drying for a dry skin user and if it can't sit on oil, how would this concealer fair with combination or oily skin?
That being said, I wish I could like this product so much but I guess The Overachiever just don't wish to work with me 😞 Do let me know what you feel about The Overachiever Concealer on yourself. I would love to hear them.
With that, look out for part 2 of this review which would be about Too Faced Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer. Then, we will have a showdown between these two bad boys!
With Love, 💖
