Concealers!

Just want to share the pics of NYX Concealers so that you can compare the colors.

For my NYX Concealer in a jar review, click here.

NYX Concealer in a Jar in:
Fair - for NC15-20 (yellow undertone)
Light - NW15-20 (pink undertone)
Beige - NC20-25 (yellow undertone)
Medium - NC30-35 (beige undertone)

*Note: based in MY opinion only..


For the Light, Beige and Medium Swatches, click here.


The Jessie Glova 15 pc Concealer palette with the NYX Concealer in a jar.

The NYX Colors are really dupeable.. See?!

In terms of coverage, the 15 concealer palette reminds me of the MAC Studio Finish concealer, that has a "kinda" dry coverage compared to NYX.

Review : Jessie Glova Concealer Palette

Looking for an inexpensive alternative for Make Up For Ever's Concealer palette? Read on..

Introducing Jessie Glova's 15 pc Concealer / Corrector Palette

It has several shades of skintone color concealers for you to mix and match. The palette also has
Color correctors to neutralize problem areas.

Yellow : Neutralize dark circles (can be worn alone or under concealer)
Green: Neutralize red (such as pimples)
Lavender : To correct sallow skin

Orangey-beige : for dark circles / freckles; use on top of a lighter toned concealer

The 2 colors are dupes of NYX's Concealer in a jar in Light & Beige
Since I already sold my Medium concealer since its dark on me, i think its kinda similar to the other color in the palette.

WHAT I LIKE:
* goes pigmented and blends easily
* looks natural
* very creamy
* inexpensive for 15 shades of concealer
* handy to carry (palette size is 4 x 6 inches)
* has a thick consistency (a little product goes a long way)
* several shades to match ANY skintone
* can be used for contouring
* has no makeup smell.. yey!


WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* can be cakey if not set with powder


TIPS:
* warm the concealer by dabbing a little product at the back on your hand using your fingertips and gently PAT (not rub) on the desired area. Layer until you achieve the coverage you want. Set with loose powder.


ADDICTION FACTOR:
I think this palette will last me a LONG time.. maybe a year? =)

RATING: 4 out of 5.

PRICE: Php 700.00

SWATCHES:

See its very pigmented & thick, but once blended it really looks natural.
Swatched on NC 20 skin for reference

Wedding Ideas..

Just got back from work after being on leave for a week. I got Asthma, cough & a cold!
My cheek area really hurt due to sinusitis! Just went to the doctor for check-up and he gave me meds to take. I'm kinda okey now! Thank goodness after a week of suffering =)

After reading Martha's Blushing Bride post, I just wanted to share some details of my wedding last October 17, 2007. For those of you who are getting married soon, I hope you'll find this post useful..

NARS Orgasm Blush
Soft pink lipstick from MAC or NARS? i forgot =)

I really like my makeup! It really looks natural on pictures and in person of course! He didn't use foundation on my neck area since he said it would look to obvious. He just used the right shade of foundation on my face.

See? He's really good! My face and neck color - MATCHED!
