Review:

I purchased this product in ‘Light/Medium’ and I would have to say at the time, it was a good match for my skin. You might think that it is a lot of money for such a small pot but the product really lasts a long time. I bought this product well over a year ago though and I don’t think I’ve even used half of it yet. You only need a few dabs to conceal spots, so you can imagine how many dabs you’ll need to use up a whole pot. But since I have tanned, the shade doesn’t exactly match anymore so I don’t use it as a concealer per se. Instead I’ve resorted to using it on my lips, over Chaptstick and with gloss to create the ‘nude lip’ look. The product comes with a small sponge for application although I find that using my fingers works better.

The concealer did help to conceal dark spots on my face, but I would suggest against using it around your eye area if you have a lot of fine lines. I have extremely uneven skin around my eye area – I’m not really sure how to explain it, but the concealer will settle into your skin and make them even more noticeable. I would also suggest building up on the coverage slowly, if you over-do it your skin will end up looking extremely cakey.
