   As a budget concealer, and having four different shades in the one small compact, I’ve found it useful for a few applications. If you need heavy duty concealment, or have very noticeable and hard to cover skin colour issues, this isn’t going to be for you. It’s a subtle effect, light to medium coverage and very creamy. I find it works best on minor colour problems, and just helps to lift the face a little than if I went without.

   The lavender shade is very pale, although I do find this works quite nicely on my peachy/gold/pink skin, as it lends a highlighter affect to areas, and offers very subtle contrast. The green is a paler green, and is a softer coverage, so if you have issues with lots of redness, it’s not going to be your thing. It is however ok for small areas of redness, such as slight redness around the nose and the odd spot (I really like its subtly here as sometimes covering a small spot with a heavy concealer can make it look even more obvious, which kind of defeats the purpose of using a concealer in the first place). The two flesh tones I really don’t find much use for. Not great at covering under eye darkness (which is why I purchased this initially), and I don’t use them for anything else as I would rather prefer to use a colour corrector or other products for other issues.

   It’s a soft, creamy formula, and applies best on my skin with a slightly damp small fluff brush, stippled on and blended. Used like this I can get the most natural coverage. Remarkably, I do find it’s reasonably kind to my under eye area in terms of not highlighting fine lines (provided I apply as mentioned previously. If I pack it on with my fingers, it can start to look cakey in the lines).

   Packaging was a little off, the two tiered construction feels difficult to use. Opening the compact you have the green and the darker flesh tone on the top tier, then pushing that tier up gives you the bottom area with the lavender and light flesh tone, and a mirror on the bottom of the green/darker flesh tone part. It’s difficult to use the mirror if you’re using the top two shades, as you have to flip them up constantly to get to the mirror underneath them. Another mirror in the lid for the top products would have been better, or better yet, a quad. It’s not a bad size though, compact, and feels sturdy enough, but just isn’t as ergonomic as it could be.

   It’s a lightweight, but that may be to its benefit to some people who don’t want a thick concealer. Ultimately though, I do prefer to go for other products to cover problem areas, or to highlight, so it’s something I could take or leave, and only use on the odd occasion if it takes my fancy. I bought this as I wanted a new under eye concealer, and having the other tones in there seemed like a bit of a bonus, and it ended up that I use the lavender and green more than the flesh tones as I originally intended. If you’ve been curious about how colour correctors work, this might be an ok buy to see what you think, but if you have genuine concerns that need a committed product, this probably isn’t going to be it.

   First of all the packaging is annoying, I find it hard to use the top 2 concealers when it opens up on the bottom 2. The little mirror inside is nice but I wouldn’t use it on the go because the skin colour concealers are no where near my skin tone.

   The concealers are very streaky and hard to apply. It’s a good price, and a nice idea to have 4 concealers in small travel sized packaging but it’s just not really worth it.

   Okay, no coverage, faaar too sheer for a concealer (!?!)… no staying power… would not buy again.
