"It lifts the the under eye in a way I've never seen, yet is almost invisible," says GH's Digital Writer.

Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer is a rare find that for me, exceeds the hype. Not only does it seriously deliver on its promises to brighten, conceal and correct without masking the skin, it has also solved one of my most frequent makeup gripes; it works beautifully with a bare face.

Over the years I've gone from full coverage foundation to light, tried your BBs, your CCs and your tints, and finally reached a point where... I just don't really wear foundation. I've embraced my scarring and blemishes for the sake of my bare natural skin, which I really think is hard to beat.

I rely on blush and bronze to even and perk up my complexion, but one area that does need a little more love for this fresh-faced look, is my dark under eye area. The trouble then being, it's hard to find a concealer that has enough coverage to do the job, that doesn't contrast with bare skin in texture or tone. Then any product light enough to blend out invisibly, can only do so much for the dark circles, and doesn't tend to last long.

That's where Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer has blown me away. It offers coverage I've only witnessed from heavy set cream concealers, yet somehow is barely detectable on the skin, as though it were almost transparent. And it doesn't just hide the grey, it drastically brightens and lifts my under eye in a way I've never seen before.

The brand describes it as 'shape-wear for the eyes and face', and it really does lift the skin up, playing with light to mask the depth of eye bags. The formula credits clever mica-based pearls for creating a light diffusing effect, soft-focussing silica for smoothing the skin's appearance and glow peptides for reflecting light.

Though, it's not all visual trickery, it's packed with skincare ingredients like deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen to plump the skin, niacinamide to brighten and smooth and vitamin C to even out complexion. In short, it's working to create the same qualities it's designed to replicate.

Available in 30 shades, the brand recommend matching the number to your corresponding Beautiful Skin Foundation shade to conceal, or going a number or two lighter to brighten, particularly around the eyes. When I first saw the product I thought there must be a mistake as it looks incredibly light in the tube and when first applied, but it melted into my skin tone beautifully.

If you haven't tried the Beautiful Skin Foundation (the one product so light and natural that it may just have persuaded me back to wearing foundation) you can use the online matchfinder tool for both the foundation(as seen below) and the concealer.

Watching the demonstrations I've started using Charlotte's placement too, for lifting across the face, and it's really elevated concealer to a key player in my daily five-minute-makeup.

The more makeup I try, the less I seem to like. But this is one launch I can whole-heartedly recommend.
