Pretty - Cover Up Liquid Concealer - My Personal Product Review
Hi everyone, I am back with my second Pretty by Flormar review.
Today I am talking about concealer and I got the chance to try the awesome Cover Up Liquid Concealer by Pretty in 01 Light Ivory, which can be purchased at glamaCo, all details below.
So let me tell you a little secret of mine, which is pretty obvious once you look at my face without makeup, I have dark circles not only under my eyes, they are also on the inner corners of my eyes. Yay thanks to genetics and my lovely deep set eyes, I have had to try and cover this up all my life. Didn't really worry to much after having my kids as hey I'm a mum and I'm tired alot. But then someone metioned to me that my two little girls looked really tired too and then realised hey thanks to my lovely family genes my daughters were lucky to get this awesome gift from me.
It's all good because that is why makeup was invented to help everyone cover up anything which they would like to conceal. Don't get me wrong, we are all born beautiful in our natural skin but who doesn't want to feel confident when they look in the mirror or step out into the outside world.I know I feel so much better when I cover mine up, my little ones will have to wait until they are much older before they start wearing makeup but when the time is right and if they come to me wanting help in enhancing their features to help them feel better in themselves, I am all for it and I will show them the tricks of the trade to feel beautiful both inside and out.
Ok back to the review, just wanted to share a little of why I was excited in trying a concealer as I have found some that have come close but I am always searching for something better.Well I am very happy with what I have found.
The most awesome thing for me is this concealer has a pink undertone, in stead of a yellow one which most concealers I have bought have had.It all comes back to colour correcting and it is such a unique art which everyone is different, so the best thing is to do is play play play with different concealers and undertones to get the look you are after.
So.....Pink undertone, yay, very happy, Do you know what this means??? I don't have to worry about adding a colour corrector under my concealer to try and hid my purple/bluish circles.I have such light skin too so when I normally add any type of colour correctors, I will mix pink and peach to get a correct colour match and then put the concealer over it to bring everything back to a normal skin colour. Most of the time it would be too pink and it will show through the concealer, meaning... more product, more coverage and then...dun dun dun...caking can happen and no one wants that. Once again yay for pink undertones :)
I found the product very light and creamy for a liquid concealer which is awesome, light fluffy and it gives you that dreamy look, that everyone wants, well I do :)
The applicator which comes with it is a nice size and is perfect for getting into those inner corners of the eyes which is where i need to place it, as i'm unique and need that extra area coverage. As a makeup artist I don’t put the applicator onto the clients skin, so I use a concealer brush. So I tested out the Pro Concealer 704 Brush from glamaCo and it works a treat. I just dab some product on the back of my hand and then use the brush to blend it into the skin.
Another fantastic use for this concealer is using it as an eye primer. As I am in love with the pink undertone of this product and I have some discolouration on my eyelid I ended up just covering the whole eye socket area to get a lovely base coverage which also seconds as a eye primer, win win in my books. Once I am done with my concealer my eyes are primed and ready to get wild with colour. I do add a little setting powder over the concealer to just seal everything in place.
So for my second test of the Pretty line, I am very happy. For an up and coming Makeup Artist or anyone who wants to use this product, it's perfect to add to your makeup kit and also it's not to expensive at $15.00.
Now do I hear you say WINNING, if not... go and check out a glamaCo store near you or even just buy this concealer, you won’t be sorry as who doesn't need concealer?? If you are so lucky to have the most flawless skin and don't need a concealer, I bet you will know someone who would benefit from this product, great gift ideas. Also great for those other areas you want to cover up and conceal.
