Concealer

MAKEUP TIP: The perfect way to blend concealer with a brush for a natural, diffused effect

November 8, 2017 Paris B 19 Comments

One of the first concealers I’d ever used was Benefit Boi-ing, after I was gifted with a sample. Before that, I’d never used one. But it was also when I was only wearing powder, blush and a lipstick. Concealers were beyond me. Not being savvy enough, and unsure if I’d bother with more makeup malarkey (Oh look how far I’ve come! LOL!) I eschewed the use of a brush. Fingers, I read, were good enough.

My experience with concealers and my fascination with them, for transforming me from tired, dull-eyed dullard, to fresh, perky almost-human, has never waned since. But one thing never changed.

best way to apply concealer

In all the many years, and after trying countless numbers of concealers in the market, I never stopped using my fingers to blend my concealer. Why use anything else? I figured, when I had these God-given tools at the end of my arms.

I spoke to a few makeup artists, and I noticed they too used their fingers a lot when doing makeup. The warmth of your fingers does help cream products meld and blend better with your skin. I spent years using my hands and fingers to apply foundation, before graduating to using brushes. But with concealer, I’ve spent my whole makeup life, until now, using my fingers to blend.

Often, I’d dot concealer where I need it, then use my fingers to spread it out and blend and pat it into place. For the most part, it’s worked well for me. But recently, I saw a brush being used, and that piqued my interest. So I gave it a shot. OMG! What a life-changing moment! 😀

Does the Bobbi Brown Instant Full Cover Concealer really fake you having 8 hours of sleep?

October 11, 2017 Paris B 15 Comments

A little while ago, I came across news of a new concealer from Bobbi Brown. It got me a little excited, because I have a thing for concealers (as much as I have a thing for all makeup really LOL!) and I really really wanted to know if it might live up to my favouritest ever concealer.

I do realise I often do myself a disservice by comparing every new concealer I come across to my favourite concealer, but I can’t help it. I’m a) human and b) biased LOL!

This new concealer is the Bobbi Brown Instant Full Cover Concealer. I first got to try it in my box of goodies as an Elle Malaysia guest judge for their beauty awards, and I later received a lovely press kit, with a lovely silk eye mask, that you see above. I still haven’t quite gotten the hang of wearing an eye mask to sleep – tips? Don’t say just put it over my eyes 😛

The thing you see, is that when I first got hold of it, there was no accompanying literature, so I tried it out without expectation. But I really wanted to know if it might live up to my secret expectation to supersede my holy grail concealer.

Could this new Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer dethrone my Holy Grail concealer?

June 16, 2017 Paris B 4 Comments

It’s no secret that my holiest of holy grails for concealer is the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. I adore it, and I’m on Tube #3. If they discontinue this, I’ll throw a fit! But seriously, it’s the best concealer I’ve ever used, whether for the undereye area, or for concealing marks and blemishes (I don’t currently have acne or spots, so I use it primarily for the undereye and for pigmentation spots).

Earlier this year, I noticed that NARS had added a new concealer into their line-up. The NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. Oh hello!

Unlike the Radiant Creamy Concealer, the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer comes in a pot, and it’s a fairly thick texture. The packaging alone was quite enough to put me off, if I’m to be honest.

The cap has that slight rubbery feel present in most NARS Cosmetics’ packaging, and as you can see, attracts dust and marks. It is also hard to clean. I don’t like the packaging 🙁

But I told myself to give it a chance, so I did.

A Tale of Two Bourjois Concealers : It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

June 9, 2017 Paris B 4 Comments

Quite recently, I saw that Bourjois had reformulated their Healthy Mix range of foundation and concealer. Some of you may know that I love their original Healthy Mix foundation, but I have not been able to try the newer formulations, as the shades were too warm for my tastes. I was informed the latest formulation is more neutral in tone, but at time of writing, my shade #51 is not available here so I have not tried it.

Still, the Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer landed on my desk in my shade #51 Clair/Light, so I took it for a whirl.

I never blogged about it, but I purchased the original Healthy Mix concealer that comes in a tube (I believe it’s discontinued) and I liked that very much. It offered decent coverage and evened out skin tone quite nicely while feeling comfortable on skin. I was curious therefore if this new one might be the same. More importantly, I wanted to know if this concealer might be an affordable option to my holiest of holy grail concealers – the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer 😀
