Product:
Fenty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Concealer, £19, available at Harvey Nichols
The hype:
Just as we were all recovering from our New Year's Eve hangovers, Rihanna popped up in our Instagram feeds to introduce 'The Cure' for our post-holiday season skin: Fenty's first concealer. Available in no less than 50 shades, as per the brand's ethos, the Pro Filt'r concealer is made to 'hide bags, dark circles, hangovers and bad decisions'. And if RiRi's demonstration is anything to go by, it's set to become another Fenty sell-out.

Beauty bio:
Fair skin (shade 170 in Po Filt'r foundation), with minor dark circles that tend to be more noticeable if I have a sh*t sleep. I'm also starting to see some crow's feet and wrinkles around my eyes (joy). I have combination skin, and the area around my eyes tends to be the most dry.
What I usually look for in a concealer:
I usually go for a concealer that's one shade lighter than my foundation, to make the area look more luminous. As I'm getting older, I also like my concealer to have a smoothing effect. If it settles into lines, it's a no from me.
PRO Filt’r Instant Retouch Concealer Review:
I get pretty excited when a new Fenty product drops, but this one, in particular, had me more hyper than five-year-old on Christmas morning.
Concealer is my favourite makeup product of all time, because it hides a whole host of problems. Tired? Concealer. Blemish? Concealer. Horrendously hungover because there was a 2-4-1 special on Jäger bombs? Concealer.
Because I've already been shade matched in the foundation, I already knew my concealer shade was going to be the 170 (a no-brainer system, but God, not enough brands do this).
