This provides solid coverage however you can overdo it and it will leave some wrinkles if it gets too heavy, but overall a great heavier concealer. Also love the built-in SPF.
This has been my HG concealer for over 15 years which is saying something! It's a solid small pot of long-lasting pigment (I use NC42) and it lasts for ages. Compact enough to slip into any bag or purse, with an SPF of 35 which means if I've concealed a blemish left behind after a breakout, there's no way any UV rays are going to darken those marks! I don't use this for large areas as I find it looks slightly orange-y on me (yet I cannot find another shade that blends in so well when using on just a tiny area, weird huh?). What I do is apply with the tiniest brush possible, such as MAC's Synthetic Pointed Liner brush, directly onto any minor blemish in a dabbing motion, and within seconds it's as though it was never there! I'm one of those people who hardly ever touch my face at all (good job, considering...) but I guess for those that do you would need to use a setting powder as this will not stay on otherwise. One very slight issue I've had has been the transparent plastic lid caving in. Previously I've been able to push it until it clicks back in place, but on my most recent pot this hasn't been possible and it refuses to stay put. Not the biggest of problems but would be better if more sturdy. Otherwise I cannot fault this and will continue to use for as long as it's around. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (thought it might be useful to share my 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.
