While this does shout hydration and fluidity, a hefty dose of aluminum hydroxide gives it opacity and silica some sheen to provide a lit-from within full coverage look. Water is the first ingredient which is typical, and cyclopentasiloxane right at second which is a lubricant and silicone product. silicone, dimethicone) which provide slip for a smooth surface and movement to prevent cracking. Also expected are a heavy dose of ‘ones (e.g. I was happy to see hydrators like hyaluronic acid, coconut water (notice I didn’t say coconut oil which is highly comedogenic), glycerin and sodium hyaluronate on the list. This means it goes from dry to oily if it is not balanced, and clogs up very easily.

TOO FACED CONCEALER SKIN

My skin tends to run dehydrated and acne-prone with large pores. Ingredientsīeyond the multi-purpose use of this product, what drew me in was the list of ingredients that on paper should be suited for my skin.

Too Face’s website explains it well: “a super-perfecting, natural finish makeup and concealer hybrid.” It also says that it will give you a “hydrated, photo-ready flawless finish.” This was taking me down the Nars Radiant Finish foundation memory lane of amazing promises (and as a reminder we didn’t end up at Lover’s Overlook). I haven’t quite understood how you can highlight and contour with the same color as one should be a lighter color and one to cause contrast, but I’m guessing that they mean their product and its performance can do both jobs. It can be used for contouring, highlighting, concealing, retouching and buffed out into a corrective full-face coverage. The Multi-Use concealer is exactly that which is why it is so intriguing. What it is Pictured: Born This Way in Vanilla from She explained that this was “cushiony,” “hydrating,” could be used as a “single step.” When she left I snatched it up like the last (and my fourth) brownie at a little kid’s party in the color Vanilla (shown below). It was.loud and intriguing.Īfter standing in front of the display for 15 minutes having my own internal monologue a woman asked me if I wanted help. I first did a mental hard pass (RED FLASH! CONCEALERRRR you have 10 you don’t wear, nope!), but it followed me around like a spray of Yves Saint-Laurent’s Black Opium perfume. When perusing the aisles for something totally unrelated something called a “super coverage multi-use sculpting concealer” caught my eye. It is like one becomes bulletproof and the other has melted away. Not to mention the wear never seems to sync up with my foundations. They are too dry, too opaque, not enough coverage, reverse raccoon-eyes, cracks in my fine lines or causes more pimples. Ok, so this was a bit dramatic (is it though?) but this is exactly how my relationships with concealers goes. It looks bomb, 2 hours in you feel ’em and you realize you got too extra and made a mistake, and by the end of the night you’ve lost all care until you catch yourself in a reflection looking like a haggard crypt-keeper. To me concealer is like a kick-ass pair of shoes you splurge on for a special outfit. I’m that annoying Goldie Locks who after spending enough to buy a small country has decent skin, some imperfections, a few fine lines, and acne-prone but aging skin that wavers between oily and dry. If there is a product that I struggle to accept (and it very much struggles to accept me), it is a concealer.
