It is a full coverage concealer that has lots of great ingredients and I’ve seen it work wonders but I think my skin needs a bit more hydration in the under eye area. I actually did purchase it and I was not crazy in love with it if I am being honest. I was in reading a conversation in a beauty group I am part of and the women kept mentioning how it is phenomenal if you don’t mind splurging. It continues to do that throughout the day, and the texture and opacity become less flawless.Īcne (14) avon (16) benefit (10) blush (24) bronzer (3) brushes (11) bullshit (31) butter london (21) cheap shit (209) cheapish shit (12) cleanser (9) clothes (71) clothing (67) comparison (88) concealer (16) deal (313) do not recommend (13) dry shampoo (15) dupes (91) e.l.f.While I was in Aspen, I brought along a few Clé de Peau Beautéproducts and I’ve found a few products I really love! My curiosity with the beauty brand was initially piqued a couple of years ago when I had a friend raving about THIS concealer and then started noticing really good reviews about it everywhere. Here is a photo of it about 20 minutes after application, after it had creased once and I had patted it down to smooth out the creasing and added some powder. Most products crease on me, but if I had paid $70 for it, I would really not be impressed. I haven't been able to do anything to prevent that (moisturizing or not, using different application techniques, primer, etc.), and it's one of my biggest annoyances with concealer. The problem with this stuff is that it creases, and the more I use, the more it creases. That said, if I want completely opaque coverage, I do have to layer it a little, and that tends not to work great. It is quite pigmented, so that you can get good coverage with only a small amount of product. I'd read tips saying that the best way to apply solid concealers like this one is to apply them to the back of your hand so that your body heat can warm them up a little and then spread them from there to your face with fingers or a brush. Slightly cross-eyed from staring into the sun while taking this photo. You can see that the color, which looked much too dark on my arm, blends in pretty well on my face. Is it? Here are my results, left side with no makeup (except filled-in brows) and right side with just Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer in Beige. And people have indeed suggested that, okay maybe this stuff is super expensive but it's totally worth it. I really only care about the concealer itself. Sure, if the packaging were terrible I would be annoyed at paying $70 for it, but if the packaging were amazing and the product itself shitty, that would be much worse. Also, I don't really give a fuck about the packaging. That's good for photos but sometimes a bit more than what I want for normal everyday makeup. (Almost?) no one has bright, completely shadow-free skin below their eyes. If I pick a pale shade that matches the edges of my face and use it to completely blank out my under-eye area, it creates a more polished and slightly artificial look. Nevertheless, I don't consider these two things (shade, packaging) to be major impediments to a decent review, because slightly darker, peachy shades of concealer work pretty well under my eyes, at least if I'm going for a natural look. From left to right, we have Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer in Beige, Sephora Collection Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer in Fondant, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly, and LA Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer in Classic Ivory(reviews of those last two forthcoming!). Here are comparison swatches with some other concealers I had on hand. Two caveats to my review here: first, the shade they sent is the second lightest in the very limited range, Beige ( see all the shades swatched here), and it's a bit too dark for me, as you can see in my swatches below and second, since this is a sample, I obviously can't comment on the packaging or anything like that. I don't think I ever managed to post this offer on my blog here, because it went out of stock very quickly.īut the fun thing is that it gives me a chance to review something I would never, ever have purchased- a stick concealer that sells for $70. Look at that translucent indigo handle! (If you prefer to look at the untouched, unsmudged sample, here it is on my Instagram.) It's a very nice freebie. A couple months ago, Clé de Peau Beauté offered a free sample online of their cult favorite concealer, which came with a very nice brush.
