There are many concealer products out on the shelf that guarantee good coverage of your blemishes, but it can sometimes get overwhelming by the different forms these products come in. These include:
- Sticks, pots, and tubes
- Different shades of skin-toned colours
- Textures such as liquids, creams and solids
Each of these forms are to be used according to your preference and skin type. While the most common type of concealers are skin-toned concealers, they are often not sufficient on their own at hiding imperfections.
Using colour concealers are the best way to hide your flaws as it counteracts particular blemishes on your face.
So what do i recommend?
The Napoleon Perdis Pro Palette - Correct & Conceal concealer comes in three shades in the one palette allowing you to blend to create your own perfect shade. They are nice and creamy, and cover pigmentation easily. Each shade can be worn alone or blended together to combat redness, dark circles, and discoloration.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Concealer: Napoleon Perdis Pro Palette - Correct & Conceal
Colours: Green, Lilac and Orange
Weight: 8.5g
Cost: $55
The colour palette comes in Green, Lilac and Orange to be used for different purposes to contrast with particular type of blemishes.
MIXING
Orange & Green: Counteracts red patches on the skin caused by pimples, broken veins, or rosacea
Orange & Lilac: Counteracts dark circles around the eyes
Orange & Lilac: Counteracts dark circles around the eyes
While you mix the two colours, I suggest using more of the green and lilac for the above mixes. Although the colours cover the blemish with a funny green or lilac, do not worry. These colours will be blended in with normal skin-toned concealer for a softer finish.
Use a soft flat brush to apply the mixed colour concealer. It will enable you to place the concealer precisely where it is required.
As I have mentioned above, you still need to use your normal skin-toned concealer on top of the colour-correctors to blend the colours to your natural skin tone and hide the imperfections for good.
I use the MAC Studio Finish Concealer in 'NC30' over the top of my Napoleon concealer.
For a palette that is only 8.5g you do pay quite a bit for it, but I can tell you that it is definitely worth your money. A small amount is only needed to cover a lot so the palette should last quite some time. It is the best concealer I have ever used and I highly recommend you purchase it.
Note that concealers are only meant to hide small blemishes or unevenness in the skin and not to cover up major skin flaws. This makeup must be applied in a very directional manner otherwise it might highlight the area rather than concealing it.
To finish off your makeup routine, apply foundation over your colour-corrector to complete the look.
Unfortunately the Napoleon website only stocks the 3 shades of the skin-toned colours. It seems you may only be able to purchase them at the Napoleon outlet. A quick search on ebay currently shows no results listed so i'm actually surprised by its limited exposure and marketing. I only found out about this colour-corrector concealer just a week ago from a friend who uses Napoleon products at work.
But all i can say is, locate your nearest Napoleon outlet and get your hands on this product and see the results for yourself!
