Helen Mirren Wore a $13 Shopper-Loved Concealer to the Golden Globes

Unsurprisingly, Helen Mirren radiated on the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet thanks to a handful of surprisingly price point-accessible beauty products. Makeup artist Jo Strettell created a whimsical look for the nominee, which consisted of a dewy base, subtle blush, and a pop of lavender on the lids to match the actors periwinkle gown.

Unsurprisingly, Helen Mirren radiated on the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet — thanks to a handful of surprisingly price point-accessible beauty products. Makeup artist Jo Strettell created a whimsical look for the nominee, which consisted of a dewy base, subtle blush, and a pop of lavender on the lids to match the actor’s periwinkle gown. Strettell used products from L’Oréal — a drugstore favorite that Mirren has donned in the past — as has brand ambassador Eva Longoria. 

To create Mirren’s glowing skin look, Strettell relied on two complexion products: L’Oréal’s True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Foundation in the shade rich medium, “followed by Infallible Full Wear Concealer…in [the shade] 360,” the artist shared in a press release. 

As someone who adores dewy skin and lives for a fantastic full-coverage concealer, I’m eager to get my hands on both products. The serum foundation is an official InStyle pick, after all — but it’s the concealer, which has over 13,000 five-star ratings at Amazon, that’s really calling my name.

The L’Oréal Paris Makeup Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Matte Concealer is an ultra-creamy, full-coverage formula that camouflages dark circles, redness, and other imperfections seamlessly, sans creasing or settling into fine lines. The formula features a matte, skin like finish, and resists budging — even in the face of moisture. It’s waterproof, sweat-proof, and notably long-lasting, with up to 24-hour wear, per the brand.

Despite its richness, the concealer is anything but cakey; instead, it melts into skin, feels feather-light, and stays crease-free throughout the day. The creamy formula is a breeze to blend, and the fluffy, oversized doe foot applicator facilitates swift swiping and one-stroke coverage anywhere on the face. Given the formula’s long-wearing nature, there’s no need for setting powder or spray to ensure longevity.

Shoppers call the formula “thick and opaque with great coverage.” According to another reviewer, who has “very dark under eye circles,” the concealer completely covers shadows, bestowing a believable bright-eyed look in seconds. Furthermore, they add, it “covers acne and acne scarring very well.” Similarly, another shopper says the concealer “covers sunspots'' and is “easy to blend,” while another notes it covers their rosacea-induced redness. Finally, yet another fan calls it “the best” high-coverage concealer, noting that it camouflages their dark circles “like a dream.”

For a full-coverage concealer that camouflages virtually anything — and has been red-carpet tested by none other than Mirren — shop the L’Oréal Paris Makeup Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Matte Concealer at Amazon while it’s $13.
