Description

A supple veil that won't crease or crumble. Natural coverage that goes unnoticed. Sea mineral concealer. A concealer containing sea mineral ingredients that naturally hides blemishes and freckles so that you won't even notice it's covering them. It fits thinly and evenly, and gives a natural finish that is so unified with the skin that you can't tell where it meets your skin. It beautifully covers blemishes, freckles, acne scars, and other areas of concern. It's a supple film with excellent moisturizing effects, so it doesn't crease even with facial movements, and it doesn't dry out due to dryness. It maintains a smooth finish without any stiffness. It spreads lightly and smoothly while adhering to the skin, so it can be used on a wide area such as the cheeks.

Ingredients

How To Use

Use before powder foundation or after liquid foundation. Apply to problem areas with the included tip and blend by tapping lightly with your fingertips. Apply additional foundation to particularly problematic areas.

I was looking for a palette-type concealer with good coverage to hide my acne scars, but I was told that it could dry out and cause creasing or even the appearance of wrinkles, so I decided on this one with a lighter texture. It didn't have as much coverage as I'd hoped, but it does naturally brighten my skin tone. I pat it on to eliminate dullness under my eyes and redness around my nose, then blend it in with my fingers to create a smooth, even complexion. It has a moisturizing effect, so it blends well with powder foundation on top. The scent is that soothing Spa et Mer scent. I've vowed to fade my acne scars with my daily skincare routine, so recently, just applying a thin layer of this has made them much less noticeable.

I used 01 Light Beige. I bought it in early summer and used it daily. A small amount spreads thinly, and despite being a concealer, it has a texture not too dissimilar to foundation, which I really liked. It doesn't feel thick, doesn't dry out quickly, and doesn't smudge, so I was able to get through midsummer. However, as autumn arrived, my skin started to feel a little dry, so I'm no longer using it. Also, the area I most want to hide with concealer is dark circles under my eyes, and even though it looks like it's covered immediately after application, perhaps because it's so thin, I can't help but notice them soon after... (Depending on the darkness of my dark circles, I didn't use it every day, though.) Another thing I later regretted was my color choice. The store told me they only had 01 in stock, but I liked the feel of it when I tried it, so I bought it right away. It has a yellow base, so it was quite whitish on my normal skin tone. Still, I continued using it for a few months, so it wasn't bad. However, it's not quite strong enough to cover dark circles precisely, so I might not buy it again.

I purchased EX01 (the lighter version) to cover acne scars. I usually use palette concealers, and this is my first time using a tip-type concealer like this. The scent is similar to that of my beloved Predia Spa et Mer skincare line, and this is also my first time using a scented concealer. (It's not a strong scent, so you don't smell it when you're using it.) It's lighter than palette-type concealers, and doesn't dry out even after a long time. The tip is cut at an angle, so you can apply a small amount with the tip to acne scars, and for larger areas like redness around the nose or dark circles under the eyes, you can apply a thin layer with the angled tip. While the coverage is less than that of palette-type concealers, it should be able to cover any severe acne scars. It probably won't cover raised red pimples, though. Also, if you apply it around the corners of your mouth, which are often in motion, it may accumulate in the wrinkles. If this bothers you, you may need to apply it thinly or touch it up frequently. However, it is lighter than palette-type products, and most importantly, it eliminates the hassle of having to open the palette, scoop the concealer onto a brush, and then apply it, so it's great for daily use. I think this product will be fine as long as your skin is in good condition.

●Rating from 5 stars to 4 stars●I'm lowering my rating. Liquid leaks out from the border between the cap and the bottom container. This is common with lip glosses and other products, but it can smudge the surrounding area and take a long time to clean up, which can be very stressful. ●Review from November 4, 2013●This is a tip-type concealer. It has a pleasant scent, similar to Spa et Mer lotions. It spreads well, but if you don't spread it well, it can easily get into wrinkles. I think it offers decent coverage. It's moisturizing, but I feel like it will make wrinkles more noticeable over time. #01 Light Beige is a fairly standard light beige, and can be used for everything from dark circles under the eyes to redness on the nose. However, it's not specifically designed to cover dark circles or redness, so it's not suitable for those with specific concerns. The application leaves a somewhat flat finish, so application technique and combining it with other products are important.
