Motives by Loren Ridinger – Liquid Correction Concealer ($17.12 + tax) (USA Link)
HI!!!!!
ß 5 exclamation marks here, my 5th
review already!!!!!
YAY!!!!!
I’ve
decided to do something BIG this time, a HUGE sacrifice….. which is….. to show
my face! (AND YES! My face with absolutely no make-up on!!!!!)
What
makes a good concealer in my own opinion?
Something
that conceal, not cover-up.
Something
that won’t make me feel like there’s something sitting on top of my skin trying
to cover up the imperfections.
Something
that doesn’t sit on top of my acne making it more 3-D!
Something
that won’t cake around the eyes, etc. etc…..
So here
it is, MOTIVES by Loren Ridinger – Liquid Correction Concealer.
I
usually skip concealer as I have a very good foundation that I love but from
time to time, I do need concealer as an added coverage.
But on
a casual day out such as going to the supermarket, going to a nearby mall, or
when I know I’m going to sweat crazy, or just simply when I don’t want to spend
the time on makeup, I rely on a concealer to give me that bright and flawless
yet natural skin.
SO, WHAT IS IT?
It’s a
liquid foundation in a tube!
On the
website, the primary benefits are:
- - Minimizes
the appearance of skin imperfections
- - Provides medium to
full, long-lasting coverage
- - Vitamin E moisturizes
skin
- - Honeysuckle extract
soothes skin
- - Beeswax provides
smooth and even application
- - Comes in four shades
for every skin type
- - Paraben
free
Other
than Vitamin E and honeysuckle extract, this bottle is also filled with
Japanese honeysuckle and jojoba seed oil!
All
these great ingredients contribute to moisturizing and soothing our skin.
TEXTURE?
Very light and liquidy
that turns into a creamy but a bit powdery texture.
THEN, HOW TO USE?
I always take the wand
out and place the product on my hand first.
I never point the wand
directly onto my face for hygienic reasons.
With a concealer brush
or with your finger, spread out the product on your hand.
Tip #1 – Although the texture of this concealer
is very light, it provides great coverage and a little goes a long way. Don’t over use. We can always add a second layer if we require
more coverage.
Dab the concealer onto
the imperfection and dab outwards in circular motion blending concealer with
your skin.
Tip #2 – Do not rub the concealer. You will just be rubbing the concealer off
your skin!
Tip #3 – If you’re paring concealer with a
foundation, choose a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation
to get that perfect match.
RESULTS?
Here it is, my BIG and
HUGE sacrifice!!!!!
Uh-oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WARNING: I have applied absolutely NOTHING to my skin
other than a moisturizer! If you’re not
ready to take the risk, you may close the page now!!
So…..
HERE IT IS~~~~~
You can see that I have
under eye circles, not very serious but they exist.
There are some light
marks in between my brows.
There’s a big acne on
the right side under my lip.
So, where did I apply
concealer to:
1.
Underneath my eyes for
the under eye circles.
2.
At the end of each of my
eyes to give my eyes an instant lift
3.
In between my brows to
conceal the marks there.
4.
On my acne of course!
5.
A bit on the bridge of
my nose to give it a little highlight.
6.
A bit on the sides of my
nose and underneath the nostrils to brighten my face a little. I am VERY afraid of the cold, so my skin
tends to be always red around that area since I have runny nose almost 24/7.
TA-DA~~~~~ After applying Liquid Correction Concealer on
the above-mentioned places:
And here are the close
ups!
(Excuse my messy brow)
You can see that the
imperfections are gone and the big acne is nearly gone.
The concealer has
totally blended in with my skin and my skin looks fresh and brightened!
THE PROS?
- Everything! Lol
- With its coverage
(medium to full) at this really light texture, I couldn’t ask for more.
- All the soothing and
moisturizing ingredients contained in this product.
- The concealer feels
very light and soft.
THE CONS?
- It’s VERY easy to
over-use. I keep taking out too much
product even knowing a little goes a long way.
I keep thinking I’m not taking out enough as the product is so light.
SUMMING IT ALL UP!
I LOVE this concealer.
I personally think the
quality of this concealer is way above the price of the product (which also
gave me this urge to do the before and after pictures).
It works great with or
without foundation. I’m in love with
this concealer.
Putting my hair back
down, a little bit of lipstick and I’m all ready to go in just a few minutes
time! SEE YA!
Thank you!!!!!

comments, let me know!!!!!
