[Hands on Review] Motives Liquid Correction Concealer

Motives by Loren Ridinger – Liquid Correction Concealer ($17.12 + tax) (USA Link)

HI!!!!! ß 5 exclamation marks here, my 5^th 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!!!!!
