15 Color Concealer Palette At Bargain Price!

HELLO! Recently I purchased the 15 Color Camouflage Concealer Palette (£5 + p&p) from eBay & bought it with intention of building up an exclusive make up kit essentially for applying makeup on my friends, relations and people as such.



This palette comes with 11 cream concealers ranging from pink to yellow undertones, three correctors and a highlighter. The color range is great, ranging from light to dark tones and the quality is admittedly not top-shelf but certainly better than some drugstore concealers which I've tried! While applying the texture is creamy but turns powdery on drying. The lasting power and coverage strength (more towards medium) is not bad either, it's almost like a cream-to-powder foundation, but doesn't feel too heavy on skin, and could even be used as a foundation!

The color correctors also work great to even out skin tone. The Yellow color corrector works fine in neutralizing red & purple and could be used for under eye circles. Lavender could be used to correct any shallowness/ashy or grey skin tones and, Green to neutralize any redness caused by pimples/ rashes.

Apart from the usual concealing qualities, it could also be used as cream base for the eyes!

Overall I am happy with my new Concealer palette, its a nice handy palette to travel with and last but not the least affordable too!

Concealing With Becca Cosmetics!

Hey Everyone!

Today I am excited to review a concealer which has impressed me on a high level with its quality & performance, The name behind the game is BECCA!

The face behind the Becca Cosmetics, an Australian originated brand, is Rebecca Morrice Williams. According to her: "The whole philosophy of Becca is about creating a natural, flawless look. It's really about skin looking amazing - everything else is secondary."

While hunting for a good concealer I came across some good reviews on Becca Concealers and decided to explore further by searching in the makeup forums and finally decided to buy it from the Becca website 2 months back. I reach out for my Becca Concealer only for special occasions or Photoshoots! :)

Going into the nitty-gritty of Becca concealer:
* Comes in a very stylish compact (reminds me of Star War spaceships!) with metal top lid.
* Attached to the inside of the top lid is a small mirror which could come handy for quick touch ups (but you would hardly need any!).
* Becca Compact Concealer contains two formulations within one compact: Extra cover and Medium cover. Enabling layering and mixing, this ingenious product provides total camouflage for almost any skin problem including blemishes, scars, birthmarks and under eye circles.
* Concealer is creamy to touch but not as much as you would end up using it as a face cream! haha. I have tried many cream concealers from various brands and not felt great about them as I could not conceal much, as their staying power was minimal & if I tried to build up the coverage it would always end up looking cakey & gooey on the skin but the Becca concealer is different! I love the way if feels and looks on my skin, it just feels like my second skin and that I am wearing nothing even when I have layered it quite heavily on my skin! It really looks & feels that natural on my skin! I'm giving the credit to its unique texture. This concealer is very pigmented, contains anti-oxidants vitamins C, E and free of chemical preservatives and parabens!

How I use my Becca Concealer:
I usually dig my fingers (with clean fingers that is!) to pick up the concealer and camouflage any imperfections and shadow areas using tapping and sweeping motion. The warmth of fingers melts in the concealer without settling into the fine lines of the skin.What I like about the Becca concealer is I can use it both under and/or over my foundation, and it does not breaks down the foundation on my skin, applies beautifully, and does not look cakey or oily at all! After I am done with my concealing, I set it with some loose powder and it stays in for almost the whole day! No creasing issues here! Believe me!

Something that I don't like about Becca concealer:
Is the price tag of £30.66 it comes with! Ouch! I believe that its very expensive for a tiny pot like this which is only filled up with 3g/ 0.1 oz of compact concealer!

One thing to keep in mind before purchasing Becca concealer:
The fact that its a high end brand and hence you would not want to invest into something which is a total wrong shade for your skin! I ended up buying a shade which I think is not the best colour match for my skin, looks a bit odd if I have worn it on top of my foundation. The fact that the Becca range features no less than 34 concealer colours makes it even more confusing to pick up the right shade especially when the shades displayed on their site are a size of a midget!

Have any of you tried anything from the Becca Cosmetics range? how has been your experience with this brand so far? any recommendations?
