It's easy to blend quickly and looks natural.  Apply to the five points of your face: forehead, both cheeks, chin and nose and spread evenly on the face.  You can use your hands, beauty blender or a foundation brush. The foundation brush is recommended to enhance the application I haven't tried Cle de Peau's foundation brush yet but I love their concealer brush.

Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer

This concealer is a staple in my regimen. It lasts a long time, feels like natural skin and provides instant coverage. I have shared my first experience of the concealer in my luxury beauty product review post


Is the Cle de Peau concealer worth it? 

Questions I see about the concealer is why would I spend $73 on the concealer? I wanted to discover the brand and tried their top and current products when I first purchased the Cle de Peau share my experience. The concealer is a top product from Cle de Peau. Makeup artists use this product for their makeup kit. This concealer adds a quick pick-me-up under my eyes on days when I have to study all night and have little sleep. It gives me an instant coverage and removes any signs of tiredness. The creamy texture is lovely. Cle de Peau now has a new concealer that is $75, has more SPF and is more advanced. I haven't tried the new concealer as I still have some of the current concealer and will give the new one a try. The formula of the new concealer is more advanced and I believe I will love the new concealer as much, if not more than the older one. 


Information from NeimanMarcus.com
What It Does:
Effortlessly conceals and corrects dark spots, under-eye circles, and blemishes with a lightweight formula that blurs imperfections. Full coverage, yet with a natural, airbrushed look. Delivers 6 hours of hydration and protects the delicate skin around the eyes with SPF 27. 

Like the mind, skin is smart. The Concealer SPF 27 leverages Skin Intelligence to support your skin’s maximum ability to restore and protect itself. This product helps you respond to the good (nutrients, sleep, moisture) and bad (pollution, stress, dryness) for your best skin.

Creamy texture blends easily and effectively adheres to raised and textured skin.

Retains a beautiful, radiant finish without creasing or fading for up to 16 hours.

 

What is so good about the Cle de Peau Concealer?

Tried, tested and true to its hype, the concealer delivers the results that I seek. What I love the most about this concealer is the results. The creamy texture glides on my skin as it nourishes and hydrates my skin. It provides full coverage without creasing. My tired eyes are awaken and any trace of no sleep are hidden after applying this concealer. The Cle de Peau Concealer melts into my skin as I blend the product.  A little bit goes a long way. 

  • Renews my eyes to appear more awake, radiant and smoother even if I don't get enough sleep. Only three hours of sleep? It will be our little secret
  • Blends well on the skin and resists creasing. This concealer blends to create a natural, flawless look
  • great for spot on treatment. This concealer covers any blemishes or redness.
  • Lasts all day without fading or creasing under the eyes

How to use the Cle de Peau concealer?

The Cle de Peau concealer blends with ease. The texture and formula of the concealer makes blending so easy. You can blend any way as wish. I have tested out many ways in blending. I have used a blender, concealer brush and my finger tips. Either way allows for quick process.

Cle de Peau Lip Glorifier Review


This balm texture offers a radiant finish as well as a touch of color that blends so well with the natural color of the lips. This is my go to lip product when I want a natural touch of color. The lip glorifier has a lightweight scent.  I love wearing this lip glorifier by itself as it brings an instant radiance to my face even if I am not wearing any other makeup. It instantly smoothes and enhances my lips by bringing a subtle pout and it is a soft red shade. I have mentioned the lip glorifier in my summer essentials blog here!
