Love Island’s Ella spotted using ‘flawless’ £9 Boots concealer that’s ‘better than Estee Lauder’

It’s only Wednesday but it’s already been an emotional week for Love Island’s Ella Thomas, who risks being dumped from the villa in tonight’s show. But despite her tiffs with Tyrique after new bombshell Leah turned heads, viewers are still obsessed with one thing - her makeup.

During the show, viewers have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts, saying Ella’s makeup is ‘everything’ and ‘flawless’.

And while Love Island do their best to disguise which beauty products the Islanders are using most of the time, some are easier to spot than others.

Last week ahead of her hideaway date with new boy Sammy, I recognised her affordable £8.99 concealer - because I’m currently using it myself.

The Rimmel London Multi Tasker Concealer launched in September last year, and quickly became a TikTok favourite, with the hashtag #multitaskerconcealer racking up 4.5 million views on the video sharing app.

After Ella ‘got a text’ to go and meet Sammy, she was spotted in the dressing room with the girls applying dots of the product under her eyes, recognisable as the Rimmel beauty buy by its metallic packaging.

The drugstore concealer is said to cover blemishes, brighten dark circles and even out skin tone with the help of a super-sized soft-touch want. The applicator has a built-in product reservoir that lets you add precise full coverage wherever you need it.

The liquid concealer is highly pigmented with a buildable formula, which glides on and blends effortlessly for a brighter-looking, smooth, even canvas. What’s more is that the colour corrector lasts all day, which explains why it’s become a fast favourite in the villa, where the Islanders are being filmed nearly 24/7.

More beauty products spotted in the Love Island villa:

  • Love Island’s Molly spotted using £26 mascara from Boots that’s got over 18,000 five star reviews
  • The £5.50 Boots buy that Love Island Ruchee uses to hold brows in place all day
  • Boots hair duo spotted in Love Island villa left me feeling like a bombshell
  • I tried Boots £5 'glow' serum used in Love Island villa that gives 'glass skin'
  • Despite only being out for nine months, the ‘crease-proof, transfer-proof and waterproof’ concealer has totted up 136 five star reviews, compared to only six one star ratings, with some shoppers saying it's even better than high end brands, which cost £28.

    One said: “I have extremely oily skin so I use Estée Lauder foundation and concealer and omg this is amazing longwearing, transfer resistant and matches my skin tones way better than Estee Lauder. Be good if they brought out a foundation this good!”

    Another added: “This is the best thing since sliced bread!!! I hate the area near / under my eyes makes me look a lot older than I actually am. I gave this a try and oh my days, I had so many compliments on how fresh and better I looked!! This is now part of my daily morning routine!”

    With a third commenting: “Good quality, long lasting concealer. It is more pigmented than it seems. It works well on brown skin but the colour should be tried to match your skin tone before purchasing because the colour in the packaging looks one shade lighter than the actual colour on your skin.”

    But not everyone was a fan of the supersize applicator, and would prefer something smaller, commenting: “Product is good but the applicator stick is much too chunky so it is difficult to apply in small/precise areas.”

    The Rimmel concealer is available to buy at Boots - the ITV dating show’s exclusive beauty partner - however, some shades of the budget concealer can be found on Amazon for as little as £6.37 here.
