The ELF Camo Concealer is one of the most talked about concealers within the beauty community, and it’s one of the highest coverage drugstore concealers full stop.
However, it’s quite drying, which doesn’t work very well for dry skin so ELF have listened to feedback and created a new hydrating version. The ELF Hydrating Camo Concealer has just launched in the US, and will make its way to the UK very soon.
ELF Hydrating Camo Concealer
ELF claim their Camo concealer as getting better, with a new hydrating version offering a new lightweight, full coverage formula that never flakes, and gives your skin a boost of hydration and a satin finish. It can be used to camouflage blemishes, and under eye circles, thanks to the high coverage, hydrating and long wearing formula.
Directions
Use the wand to apply concealer to desired areas. Pat out gently with your finger or a sponge for a smooth blend.

The ELF Hydrating Camo Concealer is £6 on the ELF UK website, and There’s a few similarities and differences between the two formulas, so I’ve included a table below to show you:

The ELF Hydrating Camo Concealer is available in 25 shades which are divided into six skin tones; Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, Deep and Rich. Then those shades are divided down into Cool, Neutral and Warm undertones too.
The shades on offer are; Fair Rose, Fair Warm, Fair Beige, Light Ivory, Light Sand, Light Peach, Light Beige, Medium Peach, Medium Sand, Medium Beige, Medium Neutral, Medium Warm, Medium Golden, Tan Sand, Tan Walnut, Tan Latte, Tan Natural, Deep Olive, Deep Chestnut, Deep Caramel, Deep Cinnamon, Rich Chocolate, Rich Cocoa, Rich Walnut and Rich Ebony.
Packaging wise, it is very similar to the original, with a clear plastic, chunky tube with a white plastic lid. The concealer has a large doefoot applicator, and contains 6ml of product.
This newer, more hydrating formula sounds a lot better suited for those with dry skin, or those with lines and wrinkles that found the original formula to be a little too drying and cakey.
