High coverage with little product, amazing blendability, and the fact it doesn't crease it a huge bonus. My under eyes are on the drier side, but not overly dry.ĭo I think this is the ultimate concealer? No. I have read that some people with very dry under eyes do not like this concealer - so do keep that in mind and try to find reviews of this concealer from people in your age category if dry under eyes are a worry of yours. Like I mentioned, it doesn't glide on super buttery but it's not stiff either. While it says it locks in moisture, I don't find this to be a very moisturizing concealer at all. the point I was trying to make is that the skin under my eyes has changed a lot, and for this concealer not to crease is a dream. It's not that I don't ever apply eye cream, it's that I have been really lazy with skincare and that's one product I can easily skip/forget to do - yet every time I do apply it I see/feel noticeable results almost right away and try to remind myself what a good thing it truly can be.Īnyway, this post isn't about eye cream. Over the past year I've noticed that my lack of eye cream application has really made a noticeable (bad) difference in the skin around my eyes. my skin is definitely feeling almost 32, especially under my under eyes. I usually do struggle with some creasing if I don't set certain concealers fast enough (mainly liquid ones), but I could let this concealer sit for an hour or more without setting it and it won't crease. $70 is a lot to gamble even with great return policies. I'd highly suggest if you can go in person to swatch this, you should. I think for a $70 concealer, this is one of those situations where I should have swatched and purchased in person, rather than online. But in some swatches I've seen online, Almond looks like the darker shade - which is why I also ordered Beige because I thought I'd rather have an under eye concealer be too light (and have a brightening/highlighting effect) than to be too dark.īeige matches my skintone almost identically with the undertone being the only off thing about it. The way Cle De Peau puts their swatches in order, they have Almond before Beige, meaning Almond is lighter. To be honest, Almond looks like the best undertone concealer from other swatches I've seen, and if I had money to blow, I'd pick that shade up as well. Although according to the swatches I saw on the Cle De Peau website, it looked as though Almond was the more pink toned version - which is why I chose Beige. The shade I chose, Beige, does have a slight pink undertone to it - which I can only notice because I have a yellow/olive undertone. They say if you are a lighter skintone you can use the shade Honey underneath your concealer as a color corrector for truly dark areas.Īvailable in shades: Ivory, Almond, Beige, Ocher, Honey, Mocha. There are just 6 shades which means not everyone will find their ideal match for their skintone. I think this is the one thing (aside from price) that is truly lacking with this concealer. Let's take a second to talk about shade selection. The blendability of this concealer is really good! It melts into your skin and becomes one with it. Since I'm only using this concealer on myself (and always on clean skin), I don't mind applying directly to my face. You can also choose to take a brush to the stick and apply from the brush if you don't want the concealer to touch your face. It has a good amount of glide that allow you deposit the right amount of product. It doesn't glide on like butter, but it's also not stiff as a board. I tried hard not to let those points cloud my vision when doing my review. It's also hard when you've heard so many amazing things over the years seeing this concealer pop up into many top concealer lists time and time again. You almost go into it thinking it has to be amazing because of the price tag. It's a luxury item and using a luxury item can make you feel a certain way - not just about yourself but also about how you view the product. In fact, I think this is pretty comparable to some other concealers already in my collection.ĭon't get me wrong, this is an awesome concealer with full coverage, but I don't see why this is $70 other than you're paying for a name and maybe a few better ingredients.įirst let's address the price the $70 price tag alone makes it feel/seem out of reach for most of our beauty budgets - my own included (thank you Nordstrom credit card). HOWEVER, I simply can't justify the price tag. Do I think this concealer is worth the hype? YES! This concealer is absolutely hyped for a reason.
