Ellis Faas Concealer- review, swatches & photos

Hi my lovely readers,

As you know that to find a flawless complexion, the most important thing is not only a foundation but a good concealer too that can sometimes sometimes play the most essential role. But concealer is a very complicated thing which rarely can give everything we want from it. As you all know that earlier I've never used a concealer on my face but gradually I felt that without concealer I can't find a completely flawless skin. So I tried many concealers from famous brands but a complete satisfaction which I found was only from Revlon Colorstay concealer. After that I tried some more good brands but they did not have the similar qualities. But now I have got another concealer which has everything in it that I wanted from a favorite concealer. Today I'm going to introduce my readers to this amazing concealer.

Ellis Faas Concealer

The concealers in the Ellis Faas collection reflect Ellis’s years of experience discovering combinations of foundation and concealer that result in seamless coverage on any skin tone.

What Ellis Faas says...

The secret to seamless concealer coverage lies in its relation to the foundation colour: Darker skin demands more contrast between concealer and foundation, while lighter skin requires foundation and concealer that are more similar in colour. Paired with Skin Veil, ELLIS FAAS concealer accommodates these dramatic differences in the requirements of different skin tones.

Like the ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil foundation, ELLIS FAAS concealer has a polished finish, with a formulation that offers high coverage to reduce the appearance of blemishes, pigmentation spots and dark circles. With a unique blend of ingredients such as Karité oil and rice wax, ELLIS FAAS concealer immediately blends into the skin for a flawless finish. Vitamins E and C in the formula hydrate and have anti-aging and regenerating properties. ELLIS FAAS concealer is recommended for all skin types.

Shades

There is a wide range of shades in their line. They have 8 shades in their concealer range. The second shade S202 is my skin color.

Packaging

Like the rest of the Ellis Faas line, the concealer is contained in a unique pen applicator. Which is so handy and very easy in use. Just rotate the back portion of the pen tolet the required product come out.

Brush

When we open the cap of the pen, we find a soft smooth brush for applying the concealer. The tip of brush is narrow & makes application of the concealer very easy on small spots as well.

Texture

The texture is very smooth and very easily gets absorb in the skin. It's not very thick nor runny.

In the mirror of my own experience

The  Ellis Faas concealer has a polished finish, with a formulation that offers high coverage to reduce the appearance of blemishes, pigmentation spots and dark circles. The S202 shade is an excellent match for my skin and foundation, thus giving a perfect coverage. It feels amazing on the skin, with no settling into fine lines or cakey appearance. I found it amazing, and very easy in use, just apply with the tip of the brush, wait a while and pat gently with the finger tip and done. With a unique blend of ingredients such as Karité oil and rice wax, Ellis Faas concealer immediately blends into the skin for a flawless finish. Vitamins E and C in the formula hydrate and have anti-aging and regenerating properties. The best thing in this concealer is it's very light weight texture and effect after applying on the face. A great concealer that does a great double duty of covering under eye circles and blemishes perfectly. Definitely one of the best concealers I've tried, and far and above the best one that stands up to the challenge of both under-eyes and spot coverage.

Good Points

This is the best, most natural looking concealer I have ever found.

Very light weight texture with no settling into fine lines appearances.

Very easy in applying. Very blendable.

It looks natural in any light. It doesn't settle into lines.

I love the packaging of the product; it's beautiful, slips into any handbag or makeup kit and looks great!

The quantity is good, it can last long for about 3-4 months if one uses it daily.

The price is high but to see its superior quality I think it's worth its value.

Bad points

The only bad point which I found is its packaging which although being very beautiful  causes some problem. Sometimes  I turn the back portion and all of a sudden tons of product comes out. Very difficult to control and a lot of product gets wasted. So it's very painful to see the wastage of this fine and precious product.

Finally....

Finally I can say that it's another excellent product from Ellis Faas. The quality of this concealer reflects easily ELLIS's years of  experience with cosmetics and discovering this fantastic formula for giving such a flawless coverage and so light texture as if this is a part of the our own skin. Great!!! What else should I say?

Avon Stick concealer- Review & Swatches

Hi beauties,
As you all know that concealer is an essential part of makeup. We all have some spot or blemishes on our faces. Sometime we want to get rid from under eye circles instantly. We apply foundation for it but sometimes it’s not able to conceal the spots and then the concealer is needed. Usually I didn’t use concealer but recently I mentioned some light small spots on my face and I have to use a concealer.

Today I’m going to write about the AVON’s Ideal Shade Concealer Stick which I bought four month ago but hardly used it. My friends always talk about this concealer and love it. Now even I use it sometimes and I must say that it is very nice.

AVON‘s Ideal Shade Concealer Stick claims:

Formulated with PreciseLight Technology.** The perfect cover-up. Seamless, skin-true, full coverage. Visibly conceal undereye circles & blemishes. Eyes look tired? Gently pat concealer along undereye circles from inside out, then blend. Now you’re out-the-door ready with spot-on confidence. .07 oz. net wt.

Information from avon.com

How to use:

Gently pat concealer along under eye circles from inside out, and then blend.

I have it in the shade fair which matches my skintone.

In the mirror of my own experience:

I found it very nice after using it. I gave a light touch of it on the spots and they disappeared as if they were never on my face. I chose natural one which matched my skin tone so perfectly. It blends on smoothly with a very soft feeling and does not dry out and cake onto your skin. It mixes with my skin tone and gives a soft and natural feeling. It depends on you how to use it before or after applying foundation. There is no any hard and fast rule. Do whichever way you feel is easy and which works better for you.

Sorry it’s a bit messed up

What I like in this concealer:

It’s handy and very comfortable to carry out in your purse.

Very easy to use. Give a light touch on your face and it is done. You can do it in anywhere even during traveling.

Very light and smooth. It doesn’t have that waxy feeling you get with other concealers.

Very soft and does not dry out or cake onto your skin.

You don’t have to wait for it to dry like liquid concealers. You can be ready only after one touch.

Its oil free so perfect for all skin types.

Not expensive. Reasonable price- Rs 200

Here are the swatches-

Dab on the concealer-

Blend the concealer and it’s almost gone-

What I don’t like in this concealer:

It’s very soft and smooth so you will have to take care of it especially in summers. You can’t keep it in your purse during hot weather because it can melt easily and you can lose its ‘stick shape’.

Can get only from the Avon representatives so it becomes difficult sometimes.

Will I repurchase again?

Yes, but not now.

Will I recommend it to others?

Yes, because I found it very good so I surely recommend it to other girls.

Ratings: 3.90/5

So girls that was my experience with this concealer. What about you? Have you used it? Which concealers do you use??
