Doing a beauty review is generally what beauty fans do about some new tool, spray, or cream to find out if it's useful for them to invest in.
But sometimes you come across something you didn't realize was not so new, but so good.
And now I have an all-purpose concealer instead of my everyday foundation. To be honest, I started using it for other purposes, but now it's my “makeup” for the day.
This one is from Estée Lauder, but it gets a little less attention than probably the brand's most famous concealer. Here's what makes it different and special enough to do a beauty review:
Radiance Concealer Beauty Review
When I first picked up Lauder's Double Wear Radiant Concealer, I didn't realize that the shine was a finish. I was literally just looking for something long lasting to cover redness and dark circles.
The concealer I thought I got was the Stay-In-Place concealer from the Double Wear line from the same brand. The difference between the two is that the Radiance version has a shorter, thicker bottle and the wand inside is twice the size of the other version.
For me, this means it's a less precise concealer and can be used anywhere you need coverage. I used it for about a week for dark circles and redness, then used it for foundation, and then stopped wearing extra makeup. No longer needed. It's very quick and easy to do, which is why I write beauty reviews.
how-to method
Before you go shopping for concealer, there's one thing you should keep in mind. The thing is, it's a very thick formula, so it's easy to apply too much.
Once purchased, use only the minimum amount needed, skip any areas you don't need, and quickly spread it to the areas you need it most. To do this, you need the right shade for your skin (I'm wearing his 1W Light with warm undertones), but with 22 shades, there's a color to suit everyone. There is one.
As for its glowing finish, it looks as if you're applying highlights or a star pupil in the retinol class, making your glowing skin pop. So, in this beauty review, I found Lauder's Radiant Her Concealer to be a great value. Buy at Brown Thomas.
