Wet n Wild Photofocus Concealer Review (Light/Medium Beige)

Hello friends!!!

I wanted to get this review up ASAP as I was asked my thoughts on this product!

Today we'll be talking about WnW's new Photofocus Concealer!

I'v worn this almost every day since I got it a week ago. And I'v tested it while under differing situations, temperatures, etc.






I Purchased the shade Light/Medium Beige. It's a yellow undertoned Light Medium shade! I think the name of this shade is spot on!






This is my bare face currently. I'm breaking out in my usual spot, along my contour area. And I have the usual redness and scarring!







Here's my skin after 1 layer of Wet n Wild Photofocus Concealer. I did two swipes on each cheek, one on the forehead, sides of the nose, and a dot on the chin. I used a real techniques expert face brush to stipple and press this into the skin for maximum coverage!

I would go out with my skin like this!








This is my skin after one light layer of MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC20 thinned out into the skin, a swipe of the concealer under each eye, and then loose powder pressed all over to set. 

Not bad at all!! I feel very confident with my skin looking like this!




Here's a light, springy, full face look using only the photofocus concealer under my eyes and on my cheeks! 
I genuinely like this!! It's a lovely creamy, blendable formula. It DOES crease on me. But EVERYTHING does. 
Also, as long as I do not touch my face with my hands, this lasts 9 hours on me! 

overall: 8.5/10!!!

Kat Von D Lock it Concealer Creme Review/Swatches

Ello!!

Today we are talking about one of my favourite concealers!

I know it doesn't SEEM like it, but most day's i'm a lowkey face makeup kind of gal. Most days, I do a mattifying primer, then I'll do three dot's of concealer under my eyes, a swipe on each apple of my cheek. a dot on each side of my nose, and a swipe up my nose bridge. Then I'll buff that all out, set with powder and move on!

That's where this concealer comes into play!!

This concealer is a very thick, and creamy concealer. It covers my redness, and under eyes very well. And it doesn't take me a day and a half to blend it out!







I use the shade Light11 "neutral" but on my warm skin, it pulls VERY yellow. So I wouldn't say this is a true neutral shade.

First photo of myself (the one with my hair down), is my bare skin. I have zero makeup on in that photo, just sunblock!

The second photo, I'd used the Kat Von D concealer to even out my skin and perfect it.

This lasts all day on my oily skin when set with a powder ( I never not powder just fyi!), it doesn't crease under my eyes (I have dehydration under my eyes thus I have some fine lines!) But please do remember, I do not have wrinkles!!

I would and have recommended this concealer to friends before, and I'm now recommending it to you all!!

Price: $34 
Pros: lasts all day, good shade match, good shade range, creamy, blendable,
Cons: Sets quickly. I'd recommend working in sections of the face with this. Could be too heavy for some.

Make Up For Ever (N1) Camouflage Cream Pallet Review

Hello friends!!

Today we're talking concealer! Specifically MUFE's concealer and corrector pallet, in the lightest shade!

I have good skin, I don't need foundation EVERY day. And most days, I use this palette and even out my skin and cover things that way!!

I'm VERY big on concealer, I like full coverage foundation, yes. But It still never covers my dark under eyes enough, nor does it cover my acne scarring on my cheeks fully. (Name a popular full coverage foundation, I'v most likely tried it, and it didn't cover how I wanted!)

But that doesn't bother me, I'm more of a thin, even, layer of foundation and then going back over and spot concealing kind of gal anyway!





I have the lightest shade in the line. And as you can see by the dips in them, I use the last three (the yellowy concealer, the orange corrector, and the minty green) the most!

I love this pallet, it is one of the BEST makeup investments I'v ever made.

On lazy days, I'll pat the minty green all over my cheeks, between my brows, and on any blemishes. I'll then dip into the orangey shade and pat that under my eyes, focusing it where i'm darkest, like my inner corners. I'll then pat loose powder all over to set the colour correctors, then I'll go in with the darkest concealer and swipe that onto my cheeks, forhead, nose, and chin and blend out. I'll take the second lightest concealer and use that under my eyes!!

Every cream in this palette is smooth, creamy, and blends like a dream. I was expecting them to feel like that MAC concealer in the pot? But these are so much easier to blend into the skin, and they are so much creamier and softer. Not creamy to the point of creasing intensely though!

Price: $49
Pros: It comes in 5 different shades, creamy, covers well, lasts all day.
Cons: Pricey! But worth it for myself.
Overal: 10/10
