The ColourPop Pretty Fresh Concealer is a hydrating concealer formulated with hyaluronic acid and coconut water to keep your skin feeling refreshed throughout the day. It is just $9 per bottle containing .30 oz of product. You can purchase this concealer by clicking here to view it on Colourpop’s website.
The Pretty Fresh Concealer comes in 30 different shades, which correspond well to the Pretty Fresh Foundation, so finding a shade that matches is a breeze.
Lastly, Colourpop is vegan and cruelty-free.
Packaging
This is a pretty standard for concealer packaging. You have a long, glass tube with the product inside. It is applied with a doe-foot applicator. This isn’t my favorite method of application because it transfers bacteria into the tube and overall just spreads germs. I’d prefer a pump, but the doe foot applicator isn’t the end of the world.
Formula
The Pretty Fresh Concealer is very light-weight and cushiony. It is medium coverage, but I found that I can build it up when necessaary. I also found it to be pretty hydrating, so the dry areas around my eyes really benefited from this formula.
Another thing I liked about it was that it seemed to fill in my fine lines and not crease into them. That’s a win for me!
Application
This concealear blends like a dream. Because it is so light-weight, I found it really easy to tap out and get pretty good coverage.
I used this concealer with both a kabuki style foundation brush and a Beauty Blender sponge. As with the Colourpop Pretty Fresh Foundation, I found I got fuller coverage with the foundation brush, but still liked the application with the Beauty Blender.

And here’s the finished look with all makeup applied!
Overall, I think this concealer performed really well.
Wear Test
I’ve worn this over 12 hours for a few days and here’s what I’ve found from my testing
After 4 hours: Looks great! It looked like I had just applied it.
After 8 hours: Its still holding strong. It doesn’t look as fresh as the initial application, but its still there and still giving me coverage.
After 10 hours, I’m starting to see it crease a bit and start to wear down. This is when I’m ready to get it off of my skin because it just looks like makeup.
After 12 hours, its not looking so good anymore. Its almost completely gone.
For me, getting 8 hours of good wear time is about what I can expect from a concealer. Anything over 8 hours, I’m starting to see it break down and sometimes creasing on me, which isn’t my favorite thing.
Overall Thoughts
Overall, I really liked this concealer and think this is something that will stay well used in my makeup collection.
I liked the forumla and how well it covered, while also giving me a hydration and a natural finish.
The ColourPop Pretty Fresh Concealer is a good fit for anyone with normal to dry skin, but I’d steer clear if you have acne-prone or oily skin.
