Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Part 2: Sublime Perfection concealer

Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Concealer

Hello guys. This post is again from swatches that I did at my local Sephora store. I wanted to swatch and post as many things as possible on my blog so people can decide on what to buy when they shop online (like I always do). This post is all about Pat Mcgrath Concealers. I actually wrote a review on her other base products (link below), but I didn’t own the concealer. You can read more about the primer, foundation, and setting powder on yhe blogpost below.

Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Sublime Perfecting System review: Foundation, primer, setting powder

OK moving on to the concealers.

Brand’s description: Mother’s first-ever Concealer makes every flawless face fantasy come true, delivering creamy, full coverage and a natural, radiant matte finish in 36 universal colour choices that seamlessly complement her SKIN FETISH: SUBLIME PERFECTION FOUNDATION. Longwearing, weightless and endlessly accommodating to the face’s most exquisite contours and extreme expressions, it provides sensuously smooth coverage that becomes one with the skin, mimicking its natural stretch and elasticity sans creasing or caking, No Filter Required.

An essential addition to the SUBLIME PERFECTION SYSTEM, this runway-tested, Mother-approved Concealer delivers a mesmerising multitude of transformative effects: Perfect your complexion. Brighten and blur under the eye. Illuminate the high points of the face. Contour the cheekbones, nose and jawline. Correct discolouration. Conceal breakouts. With this versatile formulation, Mother has you covered.

Like the Foundation, the Concealer is crafted with a Vita-Serum Complex designed to help fight the formation of wrinkles by preserving the hydrolipidic film barrier of the skin. (This Complex boosts hydration by activating the natural production of hyaluronic acid and ceramides.) Mother’s proprietary Flex Form Matrix powder blend ensures uniform and true colour, blending smoothly into the skin. Optically Diffusing Pigments unveil sublime soft-focus effects, elegantly improving skin texture by smoothing and blurring the appearance of fine lines and imperfections. This flexible, lightweight formula imparts superior long-lasting performance, rendering a luxe velvety texture with an exceptionally silky feel.

ARTISTRY TIPS

EYE SHADOW BASE

- Blend a small amount of Concealer across the lid to create a flawless base that intensifies eye shadow and pigment application.

BROW BONE HIGHLIGHTING

- Apply Concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone with a flat brush. Apply tightly underneath the brows to highlight and accentuate the brow shape.

EDITING YOUR EYE LOOK

- Use an angled brush to sweep Concealer through the eye contour for an instant cut crease.

- Use a detail brush and a bit of Concealer to sharpen a wing and refine graphic shapes.

Below are swatches in various lighting. Since I did them in the store, it was pretty hard to get natural lighting.
