The Last of Us Fans Go Wild For Original Joel Actor’s Episode 8 Death
We tried Lisa Eldridge’s viral pinpoint concealer – here are our honest thoughts
HAILED as the queen of flawless complexions, make-up artist Lisa Eldridge knows a thing or two about concealer.
Her make-up tutorials, which typically feature a precise ‘pinpoint’ technique, have been a hit with fans and pros for years, and her innovative, elegant make-up line follows suit.

Eldridge can disguise dark circles, hide fine lines, and camouflage spots in seconds, so you’ll be surprised to learn that her make-up line doesn’t feature a concealer.
Until now, that is.
Each year, the Fabulous beauty team sees hundreds of new concealer launches, but very few offer anything new or different.
However, the Lisa Eldridge Pinpoint Concealer Micro Correcting Pencil, which launched this month, is unique, and you’d be forgiven for mistaking this small, thin concealer for an eyeliner – because that’s exactly what it’s modelled on.
With its small, pinpoint tip, creamy formula and wind-up movement, this product has all the design perks of a precise eyeliner, plus the formula of a lightweight, full-coverage concealer.

As is often the case with new make-up launches, social media has had a lot to say – and it’s mostly been very positive.
“It’s very easy to blend, it feels very, very creamy on the skin. It’s actually kind of fun to scribble on the face, to be honest,” says influencer and make-up artist @robertwelshmua in his reaction video, which now has over 22k views.
“This truly excited me, it’s going to be so good for travelling or on the go,” says @roseandben, who has over 1.6million TikTok followers.
However, make-up products are always polarising – thanks to our unique preferences on finishes, shades, and price points – so it’s no surprise that the feedback on this concealer hasn’t all been glowing.
“The texture is beautiful, it has a skin-like finish which borders on matte. But it is tiny and costs £27. Gram for gram, in terms of price, this makes it one of the most expensive concealers out there,” said make-up artist and YouTuber Wayne Goss to his 3.98million followers.
So, what will team Fabulous make of it? We’ve put it to the test…

My skin – which is sensitive and eczema-prone – has recently coughed up a lot of fuss over make-up, so I’ve been giving it a wide berth.
While I’m embracing a more natural look, and loving how much quicker it’s made my morning routine (which is hilariously now faster than my boyfriend’s), there are still plenty of areas on my face that I’d like to conceal.
The thought of applying a wet, heavy concealer makes me cringe, so I felt like my prayers had been answered when I discovered the Lisa Eldridge Pinpoint Concealer.
A teeny, tiny concealer that can be applied to a precise area? Sign me up, now.
To be honest, I’ve been pretty unimpressed with recent concealer launches, thanks to a lack of creativity and innovation, but the Lisa Eldridge offering stands out from the rest.
At first glance, you’d think this was an oddly coloured eyeliner, and its slightly dry, buttery-soft texture even mirrors some of the gel eyeliners I’ve used in the past.
I applied the concealer to my skin, gently etching it over red spots on my chin area.
The formula glided on and blended effortlessly, which I achieved by softly tapping the area with my finger.
Once applied, it has a slightly matte, featherlight finish which doesn’t feel dry or irritating – even on my sensitive skin.
However, I was disappointed by how little the concealer camouflaged my imperfections, barely cancelling out or covering the redness.
When applied to other areas of my face, the concealer had an instantly blurring effect that smoothed my complexion without looking cakey – it just doesn’t tackle redness when applied to bare skin.
So, as soon as my skin allows, I’m going to try applying the concealer over foundation – fingers crossed it does the job!

I am by no means a no-make-up make-up person – the more coverage, the better, as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve had acne for close to 15 years, and while I get spots less frequently now, I still have a lot of dark red scarring on my face that’s hard to cover.
I used to follow Lisa Eldridge’s make-up tutorials when I was a teen, trying to cover up my acne at its worst, so I’m familiar with her ‘pinpoint’ method.
In short, it involves using the finest brush possible to direct a tiny amount of concealer directly over blemishes – but I often found it hard to achieve the coverage I wanted while also blending the product out enough that it didn’t draw attention to the area.
And this concealer feels like she has made a product to solve that exact problem.
However, I’ve recently found a foundation that’s so pigmented it’s rendered concealer redundant in my routine – so for one to make its way in, it has to be good.
I’ve tried it on a few areas of my face, over the top of foundation, and I’m blown away.
I’ve found it doesn’t work as well under my eyes as it does on the rest of my face, but I love that I can practically erase my scars with the dab of a pencil.
Shade 3 is such a great match for my skin tone that I hardly have to blend it in at all, so it’s definitely something I’ll keep in my handbag for topping up make-up on the go.
If you’re not familiar with the Pinpoint method, it’ll get some getting used to, but so far, I’m impressed.

I first used this concealer on top of a lightly tinted moisturiser for a no-make-up make-up day and it did a good job at concealing my blemishes while still looking natural.
The next time I applied it, I used it to conceal and shape my eyebrows, and for touch-ups while I spent the day in town.
The pencil was surprisingly creamy, blended nicely with just my fingers and was super-easy to apply when I was on the train – which is always a selling point for me!
It’s definitely a product I’d keep in my bag for when I’m on the go.
It feels so light on the skin, and it doesn’t disrupt any product underneath during application.
It’s not quite budge-proof, but I think a touch of powder on top of the pencil concealer would go a long way.

The place I want to conceal the most is under my eyes and this pencil was quite hard to apply in that area, plus, it felt quite harsh as the skin under my eyes is delicate.
However, once applied, it did look good, felt nice on my skin, and lasted.
I also tried it on other smaller areas such as my nose and spots, and it worked really well.
So, I’d say that this concealer is better suited to those smaller areas rather than under eyes.
Three takeaways from Netflix’ ‘Six Nations Full Contact’ as Peter O’Mahony’s garden & Simon Easterby take centre stage
SEASON Two of Netflix’ Six Nations documentary ‘Full Contact’ dropped on Wednesday…and it won’t be long before it drops out of the Top 10 trending list.
Disappointingly, the same flaws that characterised its debut season remain throughout the eight episodes.
SunSport watched the entire season so you don’t necessarily have to with only three main takeaways to emerge from it.
1: We’re barely in it!
Despite Ireland again winning the bloomin’ thing, showrunners opted to spend far more screen-time with England and Scotland stars.
Marcus Smith is very much the golden boy as you sense they pinpointed him as the most intriguing character given he is meant to be on the cusp of superstardom.
That he plays for England and its far bigger audience than Ireland or Wales can’t have hurt either.
If you’re only interested in seeing snippets from the Irish camp you can safely skip on to episode five which is entitled ‘Eyes on the Prize’.
That revolves around England’s scuppering of the back-to-back Grand Slam dream at Twickenham where Smith did deliver a last gasp winning drop goal after coming on off the bench.
The last episode, ‘The Final Reckoning’, also features Irish voices a bit but only as it recaps all six teams so it’s more in a ‘And in the end Ireland won again’ way than anything more substantive.
2: Peter O’Mahony’s garden is even more impressive than his Instagram would have you believe
The real star of the show. And no, we’re not talking about the Munster bruiser.
In a generous comparison to a far more entertaining programme in Come Dine With Me, you do at least get to have a proper snoop around his Cork home, garden and shed.
At one stage he amusingly muses on what lies ahead over the forthcoming few weeks while eyeing up his shears and calmly stating ‘Ready for war.’
Unfortunately, Netflix haven’t shared any shots from Chez O’Mahony in its trailer or accompanying promotional photos.
But there is always the treasure trove that is his Instagram account for that:
3: The additional ref mic moments are the best bit
POM is front and centre here too as he goes full schoolboy in a desperate act to avoid being sin-binned for as blatant a slowing down of a ruck you’re ever likely to see.
Showing his years of experience (and passable acting chops), the 35-year-old wears his most innocent face while gently asking the official: “Sir, was I off my feet? I apologise sir.”
While it is a fresh perspective for us the viewer, Nika Amashukeli has clearly seen and heard it all before.
He immediately swats O’Mahony aside and tells him to give him some space before ultimately approaching him and explaining why he’s being shown a yellow card.
All in all, we’d brandish a red card at this entire underwhelming offering.
It doesn’t take long at all to see why Netflix have cut their losses and already announced that there won’t be a season three.
Nestle axes popular chocolate bar range from Irish stores – and choc lovers say they’re ‘gutted’
NESTLE has announced plans to axe a popular bar range from Irish stores – and chocolate lovers say they’re “gutted”.
The Vegan KitKat is set to be taken off the shelves in the coming months.
In a recent statement, the chocolate brand Nestlé revealed plans to remove the Vegan KitKat from shelves in Ireland and other countries.
And vegans and those who are lactose-intolerant have been left disappointed by the news.
The snack, made with rice milk, was sold in 15 European countries and became a favourite among many chocolate lovers in Ireland and the UK.
Launched in 2021, the vegan KitKat was created in response to strong demand for a dairy-free version of the classic chocolate bar.
It also helped Nestlé’s Net Zero goals for 2050, with a carbon footprint 18 per cent smaller than the original.
But Nestlé has now said it’s pulling the bar due to lower-than-expected sales, making it too complex to keep producing.
There’s no specific date for when it’ll disappear from Irish stores, but it will be available “until the summer.”
A spokesperson from Nestlé explained that global demand had dropped so much that production became increasingly difficult.
They said: “We know that the vegan KitKat has been popular for those looking for dairy-free or vegan alternatives.
“Unfortunately, global demand has been reducing to the point that production was making manufacturing more and more complex and we have now made the difficult decision to discontinue the product.
“We know there will be some disappointment, however it will still be available in the UK and Ireland until the summer.”
The decision has sparked some disappointed reactions online from Irish chocolate lovers.
One person wrote: “I’m lactose intolerant so it was one of the only bars I could enjoy. I’m gutted.”
Another said: “I must buy one nearly every day, there’s definitely still a market for it.”
Discontinued doughnut
This comes after Krispy Kreme has confirmed it has discontinued a classic doughnut – as shoppers ask “who’s eaten them all?”
In an official statement, a Krispy Kreme spokesperson elaborated on the decision to discontinue the original glazed jam doughnuts.
They said: “The decision to retire this traditional favourite for the time being was not taken lightly, but the good news is we’ve got a fresh new range of doughnuts and we’re confident that you’ll find a new favourite amongst them.”
Despite the end of the cult favourite, doughnut lovers can look forward to two new flavours – s’mores and rocky road.
The S’mores come with marshmallow flavour filling and are topped with chocolatey icings, marshmallows and biscuit pieces.
While the Rocky Road is covered in chocolate icing and decorated with vanilla-flavoured frosting, cookies and marshmallows.
Warning to 550,000 Brits over looming ‘doomsday date’ when parking charges will SKYROCKET for petrol & diesel drivers
PARKING charges are set to rise for drivers in a major part of Britain in a warning to some 550,000 motorists.
Vehicle owners in East Sussex have been told they have less than 60 days to prepare for a new ruling that will force them to pay more – depending on the type of vehicle they drive.
The changes, brought in by East Sussex County Council, could impact many of the county’s 550,000 residents, with plans to target owners of petrol and diesel vehicles with higher charges.
The changes, effective from 2 April 2025, described by some as the ‘doomsday date’, will see new parking permits designed to impose higher fees on vehicles that emit more pollution, along with varying rates based on location and duration of stay.
In addition to increased hourly charges, the cost of resident, visitor, and business permits will rise, with adjustments also affecting discounts for disabled motorists and low-emission vehicles.
Higher-polluting vehicles will face charges ranging from £7 for Blue Badge holders to as much as £140 annually, while owners of lower-emitting vehicles will pay much less, with costs starting at just £17 per year.
Business permits will also be subject to hikes, with fees rising from between £154 and £590 annually, depending on emissions output.
However, businesses operating electric vehicles will see more modest increases, with costs rising from £108 to £140 for a 12-month period.
On-street parking charges will also increase, ranging from 70p to £2.70 per hour, depending on the location.
As reported by GB News, a spokesperson for East Sussex County Council said: “When the county council took over responsibility for on-street parking in Rother in 2020, charges were set at a lower level and have not changed significantly since.
“This reduces the influence that the charges have on travel choices.”
The council added that the primary aim of the increased charges for petrol and diesel vehicles is to improve air quality in the region.
Reactions to the announcement have been mixed.
One local resident said: “If you make parking more expensive, who is going to come to Eastbourne when you can shop at The Crumbles for free?
“Eastbourne needs more visitors, not fewer.”
Another said: “I’d love to get a job in the town centre, but there’s nowhere you can realistically park all day in town anymore.”
Councillor Claire Dowling believes the new charges will help manage demand in the region and reduce congestion.
She said: “When the county council took over responsibility for on-street parking in Rother in 2020, charges were set at a lower level and have not changed significantly since.”
At a recent council meeting, Councillor Ian Hollidge questioned how increasing prices for residents would promote sustainable transport.
He asked what evidence there was to prove the effectiveness of similar measures in Lewes, Hastings, or Eastbourne, and whether Rother truly has an air quality problem “that can be addressed by increasing fees.”
Hollidge said: “These price increases will affect Bexhill the most.
“These are above-inflation increases, and they’re being justified by comparing [prices] with Lewes, Eastbourne, and Hastings.
“I think we all support equality, but should we not focus on ensuring equality by bringing Wealden into [Civil Parking Enforcement]?
“The way it’s working at the moment means Bexhill residents are paying more to subsidise bus services in Wealden. Is that fair and is that equal?”
Why Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari crash is a good omen for record F1 world title hopes… but not this year
LEWIS HAMILTON suffered an unfortunate crash for Ferrari on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old, driving in just his second testing session for his new team, lost control of his car in the final part of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
His car – Ferrari’s 2023 Formula One challenger – is said to have sustained “significant” damage to its suspension and some aerodynamic parts.
Fortunately, Hamilton walked away unharmed and with an improved understanding of the hardware he will use throughout the season.
However, his crash could actually be an omen for when he will win his next F1 title.
The last Briton to win the title at Ferrari was John Surtees in 1964, while no driver has ever won an eighth world title before.
Michael Schumacher is the only other driver to match Hamilton’s tally of seven, winning five of his seven titles with the Scuderia between 2000 and 2004.
And Hamilton could now be counting the stars towards title number eight following his crash.
That is because the Stevenage-born racer has ended up winning the title with each of his two previous teams after crashing in pre-season testing.
Hamilton first crashed his car during his rookie season with McLaren in 2007 after losing control of his car and skating across the gravel and into the wall at 186mph during testing Valencia.

He then repeated this unfortunate event in 2013 after moving to Mercedes as he suffered a break failure at the Circuito de Jerez in Spain.
However, in both cases, Hamilton then went on to win the title in his second season with the team.
Hamilton picked up his maiden F1 World Driver’s Championship in 2008 after going agonisingly close in 2007, while he also picked up the first of his six titles with the Silver Arrows in 2014.
History appears to have repeated itself at his third team with his debut season testing crash happening in Spain.
Ferrari finished second in 2024’s Constructor’s Championship, and will consequently have precious extra time testing aerodynamics in their wind-tunnel over winners McLaren.
F1 2025 grid
Here are the confirmed driver line ups for the F1 2025 season:
Red Bull: Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson
Ferrari: Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton
Mercedes: George Russell and Kimi Antonelli
McLaren: Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri
Aston Martin: Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll
Williams: Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz
Sauber: Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto
Alpine: Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan
RB: Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar
Haas: Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon
That could give the Scuderia a vital edge to winning one of the two titles in 2025.
But should the stars align for Hamilton once again, he should land the World Driver’s Championship in 2026, rather than the upcoming season.
That just so happens to be the year new F1 technical regulations hit, with smaller cars and more efficient engines present which could disrupt the playing field.
The 2025 season gets underway on March 16 in Melbourne, Australia.
Every team will reveal their car liveries at the same time on February 18 at the O2 Arena in London to celebrate F1’s 75th anniversary.
