Hello everyone!
Concealer is that part of makeup that goes hand in hand with foundation. It is basically a thicker product designed to cover areas that are more red or darker than desired, and foundation alone can not do the trick. Concealer has to be thick enough to cover the problem areas but gentle enough to use daily under the eyes, and not drying to leave patches of dry crinkled skin. I have used a few brands in the past trying to find the one that works best for my skin type. Recently I have changed from my beloved NARS brand to the TARTE brand. I was unfamiliar with this brand, but it was recommended as a nice choice comparable to the NARS concealer. I have used it now the last 2 weeks with a daily occurrence and I have to say I am quite impressed with it.
The first thing I noticed about this particular product was the consistency. It was thicker and had a tacky texture to it than some of my previous concealers. So I was going in with some skeptical thoughts but used it anyway. I dabbed under each eye, and to any areas of concern, then buffed it in with a brush, and was pleased with how quickly it blended it with ease. I thought for sure with the tacky consistency I would be blending forever but that was not the case. I then finished up the other areas and had the nice smooth complete coverage I desired. Throughout the day I constantly checked my makeup to make sure nothing was sinking in (which is an extremely annoying and creates that aged look when every line is highlighted) and it wasn't! That was excellent because even with my NARS I had some noticeable lines under my eyes. The product was definitely long lasting, the longest I wore it so far was up to 12 hours with no issues or touch up required. My skin felt very comfortable and had a nice dewy appearance. This particular concealer has a unique ingredient. The maracuja is an Amazonian fruit rich in vitamin C and fatty acids to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day. The effects were definitely noticed and felt. At the end of the day when removing the product, even though it is waterproof, it washed off with ease and left no residue. I had no residual eye irritation or burning, and the next morning when applying the product I had no problems with my skin either.
I would have to say this is a very nice product when looking for a good concealer. It was fairly priced and with the amount needed on a daily basis this product can last quite a while. I am pleased with my purchase and once I use it all, I will be going back for more!
