Mineral Makeup Review : Oceanmist’s Saffron Concealer

Oceanmist’s Saffron Yellow Color Corrector = Good night’s sleep

Yellow is a well-known corrector for nasty dark undereye circles. When I saw this in the sample pot, I was pleasantly surprised because it is a true yellow yellow, unlike others whose color correctors were pale and not yellowy enough. I believe I am the true test when it comes to concealing the dark circles because I have the darkest circles ever, because of genes and constant late night studying, thus lack of precious sleep.

I tried applying these minerals in three ways, that shows my extremely experimental nature.

First, by itself alone. After applying moisturizer + sunscreen, primer, foundation, I applied the Saffron Concealer using the broad end of my favorite dual ended EDM brush. It worked! But I found out several hours later that it caked. I should have put eye cream underneath first! Cakiness can be solved by spritzing with mist and just using fingers to smoothen it out.

Second, I applied it after the liquid concealer. I swear this is the best way to use these. It will set the liquid concealer, making it stay put plus will make you look like you slept the night off. Sounds foolish right? One on top of another? But this is the way to work it! One would say dual protection.

Lastly
mist + color corrector= messy unusable mixture
I want to make it like a paste, a concoction. But i found out that it won’t work, all you will get is a messy goop. Not one of my brightest ideas.

I never use the synthetic taklon concealer brush for this corrector, because it can load too much of product in its bristles. Just an animal-hair eye brush and you are all set! A little amount of minerals is all you need!
