This palette contains 4 colour-corrective cream shades designed to hide flaws, blemishes and discolouration. Each colour is used to hide a specific flaw.
- Yellow – for dark spots
- Beige – for shading and concealing
- Green – for redness and blemishes
- Pink – for freckles and highlighting
The concealer works quite all right. I like it that it’s small (great for traveling), and contain different sorts of concealing shades for different areas of coverup.
My only gripe would be that you’d need to use a little more to give better coverup on blemishes, as I felt it was quite thin. However, this could just well be me, since I’m used to cream concealers. Nevertheless, if blended well on light blemishes, it will cover them up quite nicely.
As always with all concealers, they are meant to reduce redness, dark spots and blemishes, and not to cover them up completely. Too much concealer would give unsightly bumps on the face. Plus, it would make your face look caked-up and artificial.
A useful tip to share: the green concealer can be used as an eye makeup base. It will brighten the eyes, and your eye makeup will last longer. Just do not apply too much of it, or else you’ll look really frightening :p This tip is applicable for all palette concealers similar to this one.
This is available at all Red Earth counters. I think I bought it for RM45; it can’t be more than RM50.
What I like about it: All-in-one concealer, decent price
What I did not like about it: The texture’s a tad too thin for my liking
Hey, I brought this exact same concealer palette from Red Earth roughly 4-5 years ago out of curiosity. And I must say I didn’t like it one bit.
It always makes my skin flakes and makes my fine lines appear unusually prominent than before. Perhaps doesn’t do good in cold weather country?
Val: To be honest, I used the beige concealer very little, as I still preferred my trusty Estee Lauder cream concealer (which I will post on in future) 🙂 I used the rest to cover up red lines and the green bit as an eye makeup base.
I’m not sure about causing flaky skin and prominent fine lines though. Hmm. Still, thanks for the update! 🙂
I have heard my fren using this and she likes it. As for me, I seldom use concealer, I usually only go with foundation and loose powder. But looking at the palette, I am quite interested. I think I will get one myself.
Prettybeautiful: I actually came upon such a palette by Loreal many years ago. Unfortunately, they (Loreal) either discontinued it, or it was out of stock for a very long time. I forgot about it, and after my stint of a makeup course in Stella-in, they introduced such a palette, by their makeup brand, Clio (Korean brand). Unfortunately, it was about RM90++, and I wasn’t about to spend so much on just a small palette. Good for me, I saw the same palette at Red Earth, at half the price. Oooooh, what a bargain! :p
