Maybelline Fit Me Concealer VS. Nars Creamy Concealer

Today I'll compare the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and the  Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer.
Ill just go ahead and say that I would prefer buying the Maybelline, but not because I prefer Maybelline products or that I'm very biased, but the facts just leave someone who prefers things like me to want to buy the Maybelline fit me concealer instead. You may be different. I will divide this in four categories; packaging, quantity, quality, and the most decision making of all, price. I know I should've made five so that one wins over the other, but as I said, there is no actual winner. Although in my opinion Maybelline is the best dupe for the Nars radiant creamy concealer there is in drugstores. But which would you rather buy? That's up to you and which one suits you better. I also couldn't come up with five categories but the previous explanation sounds like I thought about it more than I actually did. I hate long paragraphs so lets get started.
PACKAGING
Now I will say that the Nars concealer definitely has better packaging, as you would  expect from any high end make up brand. It has a glass or glass like tube that is actually bigger than the Maybelline concealer. The Maybelline concealer print does tend to smudge off after handling it after a while.
QUANTITY
So you know how I said the Nars concealer has a bigger tube than Maybelline? Well thats true, but Maybelline has a bigger quantity than the Nars. Not by much, but Maybelline has .27 fl oz and Nars has .22 fl oz, so don't be fooled. But I do think this is a minor factor knowing that it is only .5 fl oz difference, but hey, every fl oz counts!
QUALITY
Both concealers have an amazing quality. they both apply quite the same. Maybelline feels a little thicker, but that may be good or bad depending on your preference. Since Maybelline is cheaper there is less regret when using it for highlighting and brightening since you are not spending as much money.
PRICE
aah, the big one. This should be the deal breaker for most. Nars ranges at about $29 at most stores. Maybelline retails at $5-$7, usually $5.99. That's right. these are pretty similar, so your choice is if you want to bu the high end or drug store version. plain and simple. high end will always be better, but your choice if its worth 25 dollars more. hope this helped!
