Smart Cover Concealing Creme & Stick
0

I'm pretty sure that if you’re anything like me, you’ve tried virtually everything when it comes to makeup. And you’ve most definitely tried every concealer, coverup, and cream offered for those pesky blemishes or imperfections. We all want flawless skin, but lets admit that perfection is something we pursue…with products. Smart Cover has several options when it comes to smoothing out your skin for a flawless look. 

I recently tried Smart Cover's Concealing Creme and Smart Cover Stick. For spot treatment, like covering a blemish here and there or eliminating those dark circles under your eyes, the Smart Cover stick does the trick. You can apply a very small amount of the Concealer Stick to your problem areas, smooth it out, and apply your regular powder over. Best of all--it's waterproof! You can swim or sweat in the gym and it isn’t going to budge!  I work out regularly and found that my face looked just as good when I left that gym as it did when I arrived. I couldn’t believe it!

The Smart Cover Concealing Creme is a little heavier and works great with scarring, skin discoloration, and bruises. I hate it when I go to wear a cute skirt or pair of shorts and find that I have an annoying bruise on my leg. Well not anymore! I tried applying some Smart Cover Concealing Creme to a bruise on my knee and then went out the door with fabulous legs.

From light coverage to full coverage, Smart Cover has you covered! And the best part about Smart Cover--there is one simple step!  Don’t hesitate to try their products, especially because Smart Cover was a smart choice for me.

Fusion Beauty Color Ceuticals Brightening Primer

When I am getting ready and putting on my makeup I need a concealer that works. Something that will cover up what I need covered up and added brightness where I need a little—well, extra brightness. I love a good concealer but what I don’t love is a concealer that does not blend into my natural skin tone. This is why I love the Brightening Primer by Fusion Beauty Color Ceuticals!

Fusion Beauty’s Brightening Primer is excellent for getting a little added coverage of any dark circles under your eyes and it also helps balance your natural skin tone. When using the Brightening Primer you are directed to “apply a pea sized amount of primer to clean fingertips and gently rub into the entire surface of your skin as you would a moisturizer”. I love that you apply the primer as you would a moisturizer because it allows you to get the extra coverage you need as well as mask dark circles.

After using this product for a week I began to use it in place of my concealer (why apply another product to your face when you have one that works!) I strongly recommend the Brightening Primer from Fusion Beauty Color Ceuticals—it works like a charm!

Undercover Agent -- Undereye Brightener & Concealer Duo
Hard Candy Undercover Agent

Yes, even someone who works for a beauty company is susceptible to dark circles ... long hours and late nights will do that to a girl. So that's why, for as long as I can remember, I've been an avid user of undereye concealer. I've tried many and recently I've been happy with Clinique's Line Smoothing Concealer. But since I'm just an experienced user of concealer, I was happy to give Hard Candy's Undercover Agent a try. Especially because according to HardCandy.com, "Your new secret weapon to disguising and preventing any undereye imperfections! It brightens your undereye area, reduces dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, and conceals and covers for a perfect finish. Undercover Agent comes in three skin tone shades to blend seamlessly and softly into your undereye area."

Me holding the Undercover Agent

I liked the packaging of the concealer right away. Plus, another thing that intrigued me was the undereye brightener. It was separate from the concealer and it's shown below... 

Undereye brightener and the concealer

Honestly, I was more excited to try the undereye brightener to see how it would react with my skin. I put on a lot, but didn't really see much difference. Plus, I think I squeezed too much and I had to wipe the excess off with a napkin. So I definitely could not apply that step in a rush. 

Applying the Undercover Agent

The Undercover Agent went on very smoothly, but it did not give me the coverage I've become used to. I applied about two coats, but I still felt I needed more protection. 

Overall, I think the Undercover Agent from Hard Candy is a cool concept, I just wish the applying and staying on power was a little stronger.
