8/9/2023 0 Comments Reviews cle de peau concealerIt’s a case of the read the hype syndrome, get terribly excited about the concealer of all concealers, and proceed to be crushed when it doesn’t quite turn out as great as you though it was going to be. The stick will last ages when used daily but still it fails to wow me and this can simply be chalked up as a product that’s just been too over hyped. The concealer used to have a little bit of a lower price tag but honestly not so much less than what it is now. $70 proves too much to spend for the average middle of the road makeup user I believe. Overall, this concealer would be more of a winner if the formula wore a little longer and the price tag was a little less. Cle de Peau happens to be a favorite and falls into the lines of my daily prep however I do tend to reach for my BB palette alot more. I continue to purchase Cle de Peau Concealer because I’m a bit of a concealer junkie and like to surround myself with a few options when covering up my under eye woes. The problem for me is it’s a bit over hyped and does present itself, by makeup users, as the end all concealer as in I’ll never have to buy another concealer again after using this because it’s perfect in all ways. I fear this is turning into a ranty picky review when in fact I actually love the concealer. Yes, it’s pigmented but not so much it’s going to completely hide dark circles. I get better wear from my Bobbi Brown concealer in my humble opinion. It’s smooth, it’s creamy, it doesn’t settle into fine lines, nor does it cake but it does not have long wear or at least in my experience it doesn’t. It does have a certain airbrushed look when using it under your eyes. The perks of the concealer are it’s moisturizing, creamy formula which glides on beautifully and creates a good flawless canvas. The product itself is quality but for $70 I do wince each time I purchase one. Like most posh brand cosmetics I feel like I’m buying into the name rather than the product. I’ve purchased it a total of three times since discovering it. Do I buy it when I run low? How many times have I purchased it? Is it HG? Yes, I do purchase it when I run low. It’s an incredible concealer but the raving that surrounds it makes it a bit over hyped. There in lays that question again though….”Is it worth it?” $70 for a stick concealer could be considered a bit too expensive a price to pay to conceal eyes and other skin woes. I get three cream concealers plus a setting powder with that set where as this is one simple cream stick concealer. But for some reason or another I do so prefer Bobbi over Cle de Peau simply because I feel I’m getting alot more. I believe, when available, the BB palette sets me back $56 or $65. At $70 it’s actually not so much more than what I pay for my HG (holy grail) concealer palette from Bobbi Brown. You know…it’s really difficult to say if it’s worth it or not. The most common question to arise when discussing this particular concealer would be, “Is it worth the price?” Jump ahead to read my take on Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer.Ĭle de Peau Beaute Concealer is an absolute cult favorite and graces many a makeup junkie’s bag. I recently ran out of the concealer so the perfect opportunity arose to remind myself to get the review written and presented to my patient readers. Many of you asked and asked for a review of Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer but other things got ahead of me so I never did bring you that review. (Not so coincidentally, “How do I get rid of dark circles?” is the second most common beauty question I find myself fielding.The Muse apologies this review is a long time coming. Thick and buildable, the creamy pigment has long been my go-to for all manner of spot-correcting, except under my eyes, where I prefer something with a bit of slip to brighten dark circles while gliding over the delicate area. Impractically, it’s Clé de Peau’s original concealer, which would handily camouflage blemishes and redness on the off chance I needed to look presentable-you know, should someone else show up on this desert island and my first thought upon seeing them isn’t Food! or Water! Bronner’s liquid castile soap-the better to bathe, wash clothes, and brush teeth with while maintaining 100 percent biodegradability. It’s a loaded question: Practically, the answer is Dr. People-whether friends, family, or complete strangers-always want to know about my “desert island” product, the one piece of makeup or skin care I would bring with me should I ever find myself stranded offshore, with no way of getting home (or to my nearest Sephora).
