What I like about this concealer: It has two shade so you can customize the color to your skin tone. Blending is a breeze, I didn't even have to use a brush. My fingers served as the perfect tool. Sheer Cover's concealer is light weight and not sticky.



Before Blending


After Blending


Usage Tips: As I said before, I did not need a blending brush of any sort. I just use my fingers. I didn't create a perfect combo or formula. I just just randomly dabbed on the two colors and gently worked it into my skin. Also, feather the edges so that it will look seamless with your skin.

My Verdict: Okay. Honestly, I did not think I would like the concealer as much as I do, because finding a good concealer for a black girl is kinda tricky. When I first applied the product, it just did not seem like it would match my skin tone at all. Like, AT ALL! One color was to beige and light, and the other was two orange. But when I blended them together, I was pleasently surprised. This Sheer Cover concealer is light weight and almost has a liquid consistency. It is good to look in the mirror and see that my face doesn't look like it has been caked with make-up. It provides a natural finish to my plenty acne scars. Especially on my cheeks. image


I shall end this review with a full face photo of moi. I swear the only thing I photoshopped was my eyebrow! LOL, it was bushy. Anyway. I have the concealer on my cheeks only. And yah. This has been a Glitter-Skull production. Go check out influenster. Go out and get this Sheer Cover Concealer, and Have a nice day.

Smashbox High Definition Liquid Concealer (Medium/Dark) Review

First of all, I want to give a great big shout out to my senior year in high school, ACTs, SATs, College Applications, College Essays, Scholarship Applications and my job as a Cashier Slave for stressing me out and wrecking havoc on my skin!


...and with skin problems, comes a killer concealer review. 
(hehe, killer concealer...)
at least one good thing can come from it!


Stock Pictures:



Shade Description: For medium skin with olive/yellow undertones



Alrighty, so, I got this wayyyy back last January from Sephora for $18. I only use this one for special occasions, such as a date or a photo shoot or something like that. Since it so expensive for such a small tube, I want to keep it as long as I possibly can. 





(This is about how much I use)





My Cheeks: My problem areas: The only place I apply concealer.



This concealer is not to good to put onto healing pimples. It leaves that nasty make-up ring which makes it evident that you're wearing concealer.




This concealer hides blemishes (not pimples) very well. It evens out my skin. Yay! 

The Review:
Color: 4/5 
As an African-American girl, finding the right shade can be tricky. But thanks to those beautiful angels at Sephora, I got this almost perfect shade. It's a little on the light side, but with lots of blending it looks believable.

Blend-ability: 4/5 
You can blend with your fingers, a sponge, or a blending brush. Either way, you skin will mend with the make-up for a natural effect.

Coverage: 5/5 
The concealer its self is very thick and creamy. Just look at the before and after pictures, my blemishes are covered for the most part and the redness is reduced.

Endurance: 3/5 
I live in hot, sweaty, humid Texas. Therefor, my concealer always seems to disappear by the end of the day, and needs to be re-applied.


Overall: 4/5 
I'm quite fond of this little tube! This is my go to product when I don't have time to take my acne scars. The color isn't to ashy looking, it blends well, it covers amazingly and I never have to use much! I like to say that it gives me angel skin.   I'd recommend this product to all my friends and will definitely repurchase it in the future.
