HOW TO USE MAC PRO CONCEALER PALLET SKIN
This formula only adheres on the skin if warmed up first and I often whip it out for concealing significant portions of the face (pigmentation and such). This palette contains a range of Studio fix shades, which can be purchased individually. Mac – Pro Conceal & Correct Palette in Light Used as an undereye concealer, it offers medium coverage that is prone to creasing. I tried to repurpose it for foundation, sheering the product out with primer and moisturiser but the product kept separating, too much faff and hassle. I was part of a shoot recently and the Viseart Concealer Palette came in handy because of the colour range and variety of correctors but a bit excessive if you’re only working on one face (your own). Viseart – Concealer Corrector Palette in 01 I don’t hate it but I don’t love it (apologies to the diehard Paula’s Choice fans), overall I think it would be better suited to concealing larger areas of the face, particularly for drier skin types. The shade range is limited and all shades seem to run rather yellow so if you have significant blue/purple discolouration, it might throw some ashy tones. Paula’s Choice – Soft Cream Concealer in Soft Neutral*Ī medium coverage cream concealer that remains tacky on the skin, I foresee that oilier skin types will experience creasing instantly.
Super slippy and balmy in consistency with sheer coverage, I find Fake Up to be sufficient for no-makeup-makeup days (I quite like this striped and blended on the face in place of foundation) but not beefy enough for a full-face look. If creasing is a deal breaker, skip it. It seems to have good longevity but wears not-so-elegantly, sorta cakey towards the end of the day.
Very thick in consistency so the product can be tricky to spread and blend.

…not what I would describe as a natural finish, it’s full coverage and looks it – I can really see product sitting on the skin. Shiseido – Natural Finish Cream Concealer in 2
Two gripes: sucky colour range (three shades to cover the population? Nay) and it must be set with powder almost immediately or it will collect in fine lines, so I wouldn’t consider it inherently long wearing. Uber lightweight with a medium buildable coverage that blends effortlessly. The Clarins Instant Concealer would be my pick for those who prefer ‘a skin-like finish’, it sits very close to the skin. Friends! I hear your requests for another concealer smackdown, welcome to instalment #3 🙂 If you are not familiar with the Sham Frip Smackdown series, essentially I select a category and review a whole bunch of brands within that category so you can be a savvy consumer.
