Like CDP, it glides on and melts into skin effortlessly so long as (and this is critical) skin is well-moisturized before application. (You can buy this from multiple online boutiques, but Credo is the only one I could find that offered a 10% discount for new users with code CLEAN10 and a generous return policy, which was important given that I didn’t know for certain what shade I would be.) This stick is amazing - I would liken it to Cle de Peau concealer, but as a foundation. I’ll stick with this Hourglass stuff for everyday - it’s a one-stop shop for my daily makeup routine. Bonus: eyebrows do not feel stiff afterward like they do with ELF, which I have to say I also like because it is $2 and clear perfect when using with a pencil. I find this eyebrow gel is a perfect alternative - the color fills things out while also giving the brow shape and definition with a few quick flicks of a wrist. It feels so tedious to fill in all the little sparse spots and even things out. To be honest, most mornings, I just don’t have the energy or time to use an eyebrow pencil. I love this product and have recommended it to two close friends in the past few weeks. The TL DR: out of everything on this list, you need this foundation stick if you are looking for matte, full coverage that is a dream to apply. Since sometimes a Reel is the best way to go □.I’m back with more honest reviews of recently-tested, heavily-hyped products. So far my last one has lasted me 1.5 years! It’s without a doubt an investment purchase but one that has served me well. I understand justifying the price for something so small (in terms of quantity) can be difficult, but the amount used daily makes the tiniest dent. I love that there’s added sun protection, specially useful since I never apply sun screen under the eyes and the new ‘Thin Fit Layer Formula’ allows the concealer to apply smoothly and set, so creasing to be kept at a minimum while also prolonging wear. The range isn’t massive, but there’s enough shades for fair to medium to deep (except for very deep complexions). Here’s a roundup of all the shades currently available. Personally I prefer a lighter coverage concealer for day to day use and adding a touch of Clé de Peau for more coverage on the purple areas or around the nose where there’s a lot of redness.For special occasions it’s definitely Clé de Peau all the way as nothing else gives me that flawless look under the eyes without caking. It’s mostly reserved for pigmentation and spot concealing for which it works exceptionally well. Overall NARS delivers the best coverage from the lot, although I refrain from using it under the eyes as it tends to migrate into my fine lines. (For reference, i’m usually between a MAC 30-35) However I find the same shade matches me just the same.īelow are swatch comparisons to other high coverage concealers in my stash. The subtle gold detailing adds to it’s appeal.įor those of you already using this concealer, it’s interesting to note that Ochre is now noticeably neutral and lighter than the older version. I like the new touches and design elements of the updated packaging. This formula promises anti-aging properties that over time helps achieve a brighter under eye and also smoothed out wrinkles. And ALSO skincare ingredients such as Chestnut Rosa Fruit Extract, Green Tea Extract to protect the skin with a daily dose of antioxidants. I do find the updated formula has minimal creasing and works wonderfully for the undereyes.Īlso added to this new formula is sunscreen (broad spectrum SPF 25 PA +++) to protect the undereye from sun damage. In comparison to the older version, the new concealer is far less emollient and even more pigmented. It blends easily and fuses to the skin, staying put all day long without sliding around or creasing (much). You don’t have to pack on loads to achieve that flawless look. The coverage is quite high, with very good pigmentation. Compact and easy to carry even in the smallest of makeup bags. If you are new to the Clé de Peau Concealer. Even though the previous packaging (in my eyes) was the ultimate in terms of luxury, the brand has managed to take it a notch higher. This year, Clé de Peau reformulated and relaunched their bestseller concealer with a whole new look. My daily look usually includes my Clé de Peau concealer worn on it’s own or as a touch up for areas with blemishes, redness or anywhere I prefer just a touch more coverage. If you prefer a ‘no makeup’ makeup look as I do, concealer might just be the one product you use daily.
