My Experience: This concealer saves my life repeatedly. We’ve all experienced those little stress breakouts that powder foundation just won’t hide, and this crayon concealer is perfect for covering up. I use the crayon and apply it directly to my face wherever the problem area is. It goes on pretty thick, so I continue to dab it in more with my finger to make sure it blends with the rest of my skin. If you get too much, continue to blot around the area until it looks smooth. I have used this on breakouts, small burns, scars and scabs, and it never seems to look unnaturally caked on. For the best results, I use the concealer on my face first, and then I use my pressed mineral foundation over the top. The physical tube is small enough to throw into my backpack or purse for easy touch-ups, but I usually do not need to apply it a second time. I have continuously noticed how long it stays on my face for, and it does not ever look oily. I’m talking all day coverage, people! For me, this solid crayon concealer works best, but don’t be afraid to try a liquid kind, too (see next post). Although some makeup gurus may scoff at a less expensive concealer, it really has done the trick for me, so why not save money?
