This is my second review on this. I have been now using the product for several months and have read some negative reviews, all of which I have experienced through trial and error. Yes there is a learning curve, so I recommend buying an extra sample (of a different colour) just to practice. Start with the full kit as the tools are important for success! Here are some important tips to make sure you this works for you.
1-you absolutely need the correct colour. I went through 4 before figuring out my colour. Once you find your colour, it’s pretty fool proof and mistakes are not noticeable. I have pale skin with olive undertones and use bronze medium. Medium and light tan were too light, and medium cool was too red.
2-don’t bother using this if you don’t have the primer. It won’t stick. With primer, Product lasts me 4 days
3 if it looks like a blob, you are either using too much product or the colour is wrong. You need a tiny amount, and can layer on top. I apply it with the small tools and don’t use the mixing tips as it wastes product.
4 it’s sets very quickly. Keep it in a cool place so you have a bit more time to use it. I sometimes refrigerate for a couple mins.
5 don’t forget to blend the edges! Feather the edges so that you don’t see harder lines when it sets.
6 wait the full 2 mins or it will look shiny and peel off with the pad
7 don’t put makeup on top. It will look really bad and you will lie lot need to start over.
All in all it’s tricky to use, but once you figure it out it really is amazing!! I feel so much more confident when I use this! There is nothing comparable on the market other than regular fillers, so I highly recommend giving this a try!
