Review

So. This is probably my favorite product from the Afterglow line… so far. It’s very similar to RMS Beauty’s ‘Un’ Cover-up, so if you like that, you will probably like this too. For a truly natural product, it has really great, medium to full coverage, looks totally natural on my skin + even doubles as a creamy foundation that I can just apply where I need it.

Aside from using this as a concealer + a foundation – I also use this as an eyeshadow primer, keeping my shadow from creasing + helping it to stay put longer… So, it’s a triple threat! All around, it wears well, but is a bit on the the dewy side though, so you definitely to set it with a powder… especially around your eyes.

Like most natural oil-based makeup products (RMS, Vapour, etc.), it’s applied best with the warmth of your finger-tips as opposed to a  brush or sponge… something I’m still trying to get used to. And while I love the soft + super-creamy consistency because it glides on easily, I wish it were just a tad harder. I also tend get the best coverage by patting the product on instead of rubbing it on. Same goes for applying the powder on top – I stipple, don’t sweep.

I wear Shortcake, which is a great match for my complexion, but it’s only available in 3 shades. So it’s a little limited. The one I have came in a clear container with screw-cap, but it looks like they’ve changed the packing since then. I’m all about flip caps, but personally, I like to see into my containers so I know which product is which… in a hurry. Their new packaging looks similar to Afterglow’s Eyeshadow containers – which make me crazy because I have to open each one to see what it is… adding time to my makeup routine, instead of shaving it off.

The only other down-side is that it’s in the green-luxe price range. While I’m still on the hunt for my full-coverage, HG concealer (I like it like spackle, Lol), this is definitely one of the best of the best in naturals, in terms of coverage. At the moment, this is what I find myself reaching for + so I’d  highly recommend it + would definitely purchase it again. Thanks Afterglow!
