Aritaum Full Cover Liquid Concealer #02 Natural Beige
I'm back with a review for the Aritaum Full Cover Concealer! I recently hauled this product from Jolse, an online Korean cosmetics store. If you would like to see what I got please check out my previous blog post.
Anyways, Aritaum claims that this concealer is waterproof, sweat proof, and will not smudge. It can cover large areas with little product to provide a sleek and soft appearance to the skin all day. It also claims to moisturize the skin for the whole day with it's rose hip oil complex.

Like I mentioned before, I purchased this from Jolse for $8.48. I got the darkest shade #02 Natural Beige. Like many Korean cosmetics, this product only comes in two shades.
Aritaum released an ad for the Full Cover line and that's what really sparked my interest in this product. In the commercial, it features a girl who has a lot of acne and blemishes and after she applies the Full Cover products she has perfect looking skin. Because of this commercial, the Full Cover line has been receiving a lot of interest in Korea as well. If you're interested watch the video below!

Packaging:
It comes in a squeeze tube type packaging. This makes is really easy to control the amount of product that comes out. It also looks really sleek and contains 25ml. I originally thought that 25ml was a very small amount of product but when I received it, it was a fairly large size for a concealer. When I looked at my other concealers I saw that they all contained less than 10ml of product so this concealer is very generous in amount.
To compare the size of the product, it is the same size as the Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser, if anyone has that product. The packaging is about the same in design as well as size.

Color/Finish:
Again, I have the color #02 Natural Beige. It's the darkest color Aritaum provides, but it is still fairly light. It blends in really well though so I would say if you have a light/medium complexion this would work well for you. If you have a darker/medium complexion you might be stretching it a little but you could probably use it for your under eyes to brighten the area still.
I wouldn't recommend the lightest shade unless you have really light skin. My face is two or three shades lighter than my hands and this concealer is the perfect shade for me.
This has a very natural finish which means it's not super dewy but not super matte either. If anything though, this leans a little more on the matte side. Also, even though it's a full coverage product, it doesn't look super cakey and noticeable either.
I wouldn't say that this product is particularly moisturizing either like the claims. It isn't drying but it isn't moisturizing either.

Coverage/Lasting Power:
I didn't use my usual coverage test with the eyeliner and stain because I tried to and the eyeliner smudged like crazy! I guess I didn't let it dry enough lol. Anyways, instead I used a freckle I have on my wrist and you can also see my very apparent veins! *yelp*
As you can see this covered the freckle very nicely as well as the veins on my wrist. You can still see part of the freckle but it is noticeably lighter than before. This concealer is truly high coverage and will cover acne scars very nicely.
It only takes a small amount as well. I usually use half a pea size to cover all my acne scars and it's like they were erased from my face!
As for longevity, I don't have a problem with this fading too much. At the end of the day, this product has faded a little and you can see my acne scars slightly but it's not a huge problem. If that bothers you a lot you can always reapply a little throughout the day. I have noticed that this product does transfer though. When I was outside one day I accidentally wiped my face on my white shirt and I did see some of the concealer on my shirt. (Thankfully it came off of my shirt)
Overall I would say that this product does have good lasting power and excellent coverage.

Final Thoughts:
After seeing the commercial I was a little skeptical if this product could actually cover as well as in the ad because products rarely perform as well as in the ads but this product lived up to the claims. If I had the other products the girl used in the commercial I'm very confident that I would be able to achieve the same result which is very good. I love this product and it lives up to the Full Cover name. I would definitely repurchase this if I ever run out but I doubt I will anytime soon. This is because I only have to use a tiny, tiny amount of product to cover everything! I also think this product would work well on both dry and oily skin.
If you're looking for a full coverage concealer for everywhere on the face this is what you need. If you have a lot of acne scars or dark spots this will also be perfect for you.
If you don't like full coverage products or have a darker complexion I wouldn't recommend this to you though.
If you live somewhere where Aritaum isn't available or don't want to purchase it online I would recommend the Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Concealer. It gives very comparable results but has a lot less product than the Aritaum concealer. Also, it has a lot more shades than the Aritaum concealer so if you have darker skin I would try out the Maybelline concealer.
Overall, I highly recommend this product!
