Born This Way Super Coverage Concealer

I decided for my first go with this product that I would use it all over. One of the biggest raves of this concealer is its ability to do “double duty” and that it is perfect as a foundation and a concealer in one. So I gave that method a shot. I will say, I was a little unprepared for my first attempt with it (not the products fault). Although it claims to be hydrating and has great ingredients such as conconut water, alpine rose and hyaluronic acid, at the end of the day it is a pretty matte product. I am by no means against matte products, but let’s face it, it’s winter in New York and I have dry skin. I either have to save products like this for warmer more humid weather or hydrate, hydrate, hydrate (more than the usual and really prep my skin before makeup application). What I ended up having to do was hydrating more on top of the concealer I already applied and going back in with product if it got wiped away. Not the ideal, but I made it work. So the verdict. It is an excellent product, and it definitely can be used under the eyes and all over the face. But of course, be aware of your skin type and prepare accordingly. It does have great coverage and even with my dry skin wasn’t as flaky and cakey as I expected. I’ll be sure to try it again with the right skin prep. When just applied as a concealer with a regular more hydrating foundation, I have all the confidence that it will perform great also.
