Tutorial/Review: Catrice All Round Concealer Palette

[Products are not sponsored and all reviews are honest opinions!]

Hi! Pea here. Today, I am going to cover a review on the concealer palette from Catrice!

Retailing for only $6.90, it comes in 5 shades - 2 neutralizing shades & 3 varying concealer shades.

It's honestly such a great bargain, in my personal opinion. 

It has a really creamy consistency and it dries off to a matte, almost powdery finish. 

Pigmentation is awesomezx and the three shades of color is just nice for you to mix and match the shades to get the one that matches your skin tone. 

The green shade is used to neutralize redness so that includes pimples/blemishes and areas around the nose.

The red is used to neutralize dark circles. Let me just be a little more naggy. 

Dark circles are caused my a whole array of factors and not only as simple as a lack of sleep, like most of us think so. In fact, it is caused by an entire array of factors which includes hormones/genes, dehydration or even weakening of capillaries which will lead to leakage of unoxygenated blood.

This tiny veins around our eyes carry blood without oxygen which gives that bluish tint that causes 'dark eye circles' 

Ok now. 

Back to my main point.

Salmon/pink concealer will neutralize this bluish tint to reduce the darkness. 

Use it after letting your eye cream sit for a about 5 minutes.

Pat the salmon pink lightly and sparingly along the arc that is beside your nose bridge
I've placed it above the pink dotted line. Then using a brush or ring finger, blend the pink over the entire area.

Don't go for the kill and smear it under your eyes. You'll just end up looking like you have swollen/pink eye.

It should look like the bottom picture after blending. As you can see, the red has visibly reduced the dark area.

Now pat your concealer with your ring finger/concealer brush over the pink area gently to lighten the circles further. Blend the concealer into your skin so you don't get a stark contrast between concealed area and cheeks. I use the two lighter shades to conceal. The top picture is the original picture!

I normally powder the area lightly with setting powder to prevent the concealer from sliding off. 

Correcting eye circles can be done internally as well. DRINK MORE WATER! haha I sound naggy. I apologize. 

And use eye creams loaded with caffeine which apparently (what I researched) can reduce excess blood leakage. Well, I don't know if consuming caffeine will help but judging from how much coffee I need per day, and I still have those circles, I doubt so. haha. Maybe it just needs to be applied directly. Please do not quote me and like, pat coffee on your undereye ok. I do not hold any responsibilities.
