I have my wedding coming up, and recently came down with sinusitis.
I went on the hunt for a really good eye concealer because I look like I've been punched out due to the Sinusitis.
I have to say, the Cover FX is surprising. At first I though Oh SHIT because I picked LIGHT as I'm fair, but at first it looked too dark. As you blend it in with your eye brush (tip:using a brush is WAY better than your finger) it blends in perfectly. I finished, and couldn't believe what a difference I could see. I then had to go pick up a girlfriend, and she actually immediately noticed and said I looked great! That was it for me, big win!
I personally use this brand. It is used for scars, tattoo cover ups etc... so it has to work for my bags and zits right?!
One thing I don't like is that it is water based, so sometimes it can become a bit runny. If this happens just massage the tube before using.
Great coverage for my dry blotchy skin
Didn't feel dry
Not noticeable-blended nicely
I love love love this stuff! One of my all time favourite concealers! I use this mainly for my undereyes. It covers really well and hides bluish dark circles because of the salmon/peachy undertones. When you first squeeze the concealer out, the concealer appears really really dark, but when you work it in your skin, it magically turns lighter and almost adjust to your skin tone. The consistency is very creamy, opaque and easy to work with. I have this in all the colours in my kit. A little also goes a long long long long way. The only con about this product is that, sometimes when you don't touch the product in a while, the liquids settles and when you squeeze, you get some really runny and watery product. My little trick is to shake it, and I also squeeze a dime size amount in a smaller jar and mix it a bit. Overall, i love this product.
This concealer is really thick but the problem i had with it is sometimes the formulaa would seperate (i know odd) and this oily stuff would come out. I also found this made my skin a little oily and wore off a little after a while. Since this i so expensive i recomend spending your money somewhere else.
I think there are better concealers out there that are similarly priced like MUFE's or Dermablend's. What bothers me most about this concealer is its smell, it smells like moth balls and incense, and it does not really fade overtime. Its coverage is OK, and I guess if you have sensitive skin you may benefit from some of the claimed properties. I returned mine to Sephora and got a MUFE concealer instead.
I have been using the Cover Fx Concealer for the better part of a year now. I have very fair, combination skin with the tendency of being very dry especially around my nose. I do not normally wear foundation and usually use the MAC Studio Fix powder. I was very impressed with the coverage of the Cover FX. I use it for my dark, under eye circles and around my nose for the red areas. I prep the area first using the Smashbox Photo Finish. I find the product goes on smoothly and I can blend it in really well. A little product goes a long way. The smell of the product did not bother me. It does however had an oily smell. It was not something that lingered. I would purchase this product again!
This concealer STINKS!!!!!!
I hate cakey, thick, noticeable concealers and this concealer is guilty of all three offenses.
I have sensitive skin and the woman at the makeup counter recommended this concealer. My mum loves the cover FX line and talked me into buying this. I wish i hadn't! This concealer is VERY thick you are supposed to use a tiny amount and blend it in. I have come back to it again and again hoping to make it work and it never does. I always apply concealer over moisturized skin and even still this comes out looking DRY. This concealer accentuates any bump, hair, or pimple you are trying to cover. Every time i have tried it my chin comes out looking like a snapshot of the rocky mountains. Even when using the smallest amount this concealer spreads on thick, like a mask. I have even tried mixing it with moisturizer but that just turned into an even bigger mess.
I prefer light concealers, as i said when applying this is is very weighty and is almost like wearing a mud mask.
Not worth the money.
This concealer is killer!! I love it. I am not usually a fan of concealer, because it tends to look obvious and globby but this one went on smooth and blended in completely with my skin. I am super pale, so the xtra light shade was a perfect match. Aside from being easily blended and actually covering up all my "imperfections" my favourute thing about this coverfx product is its lasting ability. While some makeup products smear and wear off half way through the day, this one kept on going!! I could go the entire day-morning to night- without ever having to do touch ups. Brilliant!! A little also goes a long ways with this concealer, which makes it completely worth the money. This is my first experience with coverfx and it has been great, I can't wait to test out more of thier products.
cheers!
