Know your own skin and this concealer will make you look flawless!
I have pretty severe hyper pigmentation dark spots on my face with prominent ones on my cheeks and dark reddish under eye from lack of rest. This concealer will cover them up flawlessly with caveat. On days when my skin feels tad oily, I have to use lighter moisturizer and no primer (I use Mac Prime+Fix spray primer). The concealer will start to crease and form oily streak whenever I use my primer underneath.
Inversely, on days when my skin feels dehydrated, I have to use richer moisturizer and primer spray or else the concealer will pill and make the areas that I applied them to have noticeable mask effect. For me, once I master in understanding the level of oily/dehydrated of my skin that day before I apply makeup and moisturize-primed accordingly, this concealer will do wonders and make my face look flawless.
Another caveat is that I find this concealer works better with non-matte formula foundation because while trying concealer-foundation combos, I use my matte finish foundations and the areas where I apply this foundation turned orange after ~2 hour-ish - not pretty. Ever since I got this concealer, I have been using dewy finish foundation underneath and my makeup looks natural like second skin.
Dark Circles... Not here!
This concealer has definitely become my all time favorite ever since the first time I used it.
I had never really used the Kevyn Aucoin line until this concealer was gifted to me about a year ago, and now I just can't get enough! It has a creamy, thin consistency that delivers medium to full coverage in one swipe.
This concealer has definitely taken the place of my Tarte Shape Tape, as Shape Tape tends to dry out my under eyes quite a bit. The only downside to this concealer is that it does oxidize a little bit and dries quickly, so be sure to purchase a lighter shade and work fast when you are applying.
I am in my late 30s and have a small amount of fine lines around my under eye area. This concealer doesn't crease on me at all throughout the entire day and covers up my dark circles beautifully.
I apply a small amount to the darkest parts of my under eyes and blend it out with a damp mini beauty blender, which I absolutely love using to blend out my concealer. I then set it with my Becca Under Eye Brightening Setting Powder and I'm ready to go.
It is so effortless and the end results are amazing! You have got to try it ;-)
Supersonic Concealer w/Hyaluronic Acid & Jojoba Extract & Brightening Pearls
This concealer is "THE" best concealer in my collection of many brands. I have Nars, Tarte Shape Tape, (which is ok but w/a thick consistency, Tarte Rain Forest-dries my skin out, (Benefit -many of their formulas, none quite right), Clinique-streaky & IT brand which is decent but can crease and the list goes on. The moment I tried KA's Concealer on my skin I noticed how creamy it felt. It's most likely the fact that it contains Hyaluronic Acid (H20 Loving), Jojoba Extract & brightening pearls. I dabbed some on the back of my hand and used a pinpoint makeup brush to test the coverage on my face. One DOT covered a spot of hyper-pigmentation & set perfectly. I tested it again between my brows and defined the tops of my brows noticing again how just a little of this pigmented concealer goes a long way while blending beautifully.
Yes, the price point is a tad high, but the amt needed is minimal & it's awesome, which makes this product worth it to me. It isn't going to lay in a drawer next to the multiple tubes of dusty unused concealers.
FYI: Because of how the fall weather dries my skin out, I decided to experiment & mixed a tiny amt of Nivea "Cream" & KA"S concealer. It whipped together with no problems including no pigment changes. I applied this to my under-eyes, with just a super light touch of Ben Nye Rose Petal Powder and it lasted the night with just one touchup. I tried it a second time with no powder and The Urban Decay "All Nighter" setting spray. Homerun!! A seamless coverage That Lasted! This is now My #1 "Go To" concealer.
I Highly recommend this product to anyone who finds that their concealer leaves their skin dry, tight or creases easily. I was hoping for this positive outcome since I use Kevyn Aucoin's Etherealist Skin Illuminating Foundation which is just as incredibly wonderful.
