If you're into Korean beauty, there's a big chance that you've heard of this concealer at some point. It's pretty popular in Asian beauty and I still see a lot of recommendations from people despite all of the other new concealers popping up. So I got curious and wanted to try to see for myself.
I got 4 shades of tip concealer. I got 2 shades that are lighter in purpose so I can use it to brighten and other 2 for a spot concealer. Korean brands are known to be olive-friendly since a lot of Asians have this undertone compared to Western brands so I am quite confident that at least one of them will match my skin.
They look quite similar from each other from the bottle and when swatching, that's when you'll notice the subtle difference. The shades 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75 look a bit peachy on me. I got 2.25 as a promising match.
They're pretty creamy yet not drying.
Since I got the shade 2.25 as the most promising match, that's what I tried.
On the left photo, you can see that I have the concealer under my right eye and none on the other. It's very easy to blend and doesn't get cakey. For its great coverage, it's pretty surprising that it's not cakey and drying. I also didn't have to put a peach color corrector under my eyes cos it usually looks gray when I don't but this one it looks pretty good even without it.
On the right photo, I started using it as spot concealer, covering those dark spots that I had since I was maybe 7-8 years old just cos I was a naughty kid climbing mango trees and eating one without washing... had a pretty nasty wounds from all the green mango sap haha.
It applies a bit light but then oxidizes to almost match my skin tone. I think it already starts oxidizing upon 3 minutes so I didn't have to wait 20 minutes every time I use it haha.
And... look at that.
That is just one layer of concealer and I am pretty surprised to be honest!! It looks so good, satin finish and it gave me a glowy look!
As you can see, those dark spots beside my mouth were covered pretty good. My under eyes also looked very fresh with the concealer. I now understand the hype. I would say it's not 100% match to my skin tone since it is stilllll slightly lighter than my face, maybe because of the placement too, BUT it's sooo good that honestly this is the best match I've found so far in any concealer. I can also confidently use this without any other stuff like foundation without looking obvious that I have concealer on.
You know what the best part of this is???
Aside from it really good at covering spots and just holy grails by a lot... is the price.
The average price of this is under $4. Yup, $4!!!!
But of course it can depend on where you live or where you order it from but I got it for $3. :D For a base product like concealer, that's sooo inexpensive compared to the quality. Even my Fenty Beauty concealer is not better than this tbh.
I'm very happy about this haha and I can confidently wear concealers now without foundation. :D
