A £28 concealer from cult-favourite brand VIEVE has earned more than 100 five-star reviews, with shoppers praising its ability to cover dark circles. The Skin Nova Concealer, described by the brand as 'skin on a really good day', features a lightweight, skincare-infused formula designed to brighten, blur and smooth without looking heavy.
How the VIEVE Skin Nova Concealer Performs
Having tested countless concealers over the years, this latest launch stands out for its balmy texture that blends effortlessly into the skin. The radiant finish provides coverage while light reflecting off the skin helps disguise dark circles, offering a dual approach to brightening the under-eye area.
Despite its dewy finish, the concealer neither creased nor felt heavy or cakey during wear. It feels light and comfortable, which is exactly what many users look for in a concealer.
Shade Range and Application Methods
The concealer comes in 24 shades, though one tester found shade 110 slightly paler than typical. Two application methods work well: dispensing onto the hand and pressing into the skin with a brush for low-key makeup days, or applying directly onto the skin for fuller coverage and a more sculpted effect.
Shopper Reviews Highlight Dark Circle Coverage
More than 100 five-star reviews have already been posted since the product launched. One customer wrote: "Easily covers my nightshift dark circles and brightens my whole face. Love wearing along with the Super Skin Nova." Another added: "Everything I've tried before has left me feeling cakey. This is such a smooth formula, and I'm really liking the coverage and blend. Dark circles gone."
A 59-year-old reviewer commented: "Just take all my money, Vieve - another banging product that's 5 out of 5. Love the component, very travel friendly. Looks great on my 59-year-old skin and lasts all day." One shopper noted the shade guide was inaccurate, saying: "Blends like a dream but the guide did me dirty and it's too pale for me."
Comparison with Other Concealers
At £28, the VIEVE concealer sits in the premium beauty bracket. The NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, priced at £29.50 at LookFantastic, offers medium, buildable coverage with a radiant finish. For a budget option, the Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser Concealer costs under £10 and remains a trusted high-street choice.
The VIEVE Skin Nova Concealer illuminates dark circles, blends seamlessly and delivers a radiant finish without feeling heavy, making it a worthwhile option for those seeking coverage with a natural, skin-like appearance.
