Review: Sleek Luminaire Highlighting Concealer
This is one of the last Sleek products I'm going to review: The Luminaire Highlighting Concealer. I don't use concealer that often (a 'good coverage' foundation is enough for me) but the highlighting effect of this concealer caught my attention! It promises to add moisture and brighten the skin, conceal blemishes and fade imperfections. Like most ladies out there, I like the look of a nice glow on my face. And for just £6.49 it's not crazy expensive either. Time to test this product out!
Here you can see a close-up of the brush, as soon as you click the pen a bit of product will come out. It might take a few seconds, so don't be impatient like me and click like some maniac because it doesn't seem to work right away. You'll get a concealer overload!
I have shade 01, the lightest (it's a bit of a salmon pink) shade. The texture is quite thick and it dries super fast, which can make it hard to blend the concealer. I always click a bit onto a clean finger (my finger warms the product up that way) and then I'm ready to apply the concealer where I need it (usually around my eyes, nose and chin). Applying a moisturising eye cream before you apply this concealer helps it to blend as well. The first time using this product I applied concealer on all of my problem areas but when I wanted to blend the concealer it was already drying and it ended up looking streaky and weird. If you work on one problem area at the time and use your finger (or a damp sponge) to work with, the final result will look a lot nicer.
It won't give you a flawless coverage, but it definitely helps you to look more fresh and awake. It didn't manage to cover that horrible red spot I have at the moment, but it's a very nice tool to hide those under eye circles. It brightens the skin in a subtle way (you won't look shimmery/shiny or anything like that) and it is very long-lasting. I like it!
If you're looking for something with good coverage (to cover spots, redness etc.) this won't be a good match for you. But if you are looking for something with medium coverage that highlights the skin as well, you might like the Luminaire Highlighting Concealer!
