I finally had the opportunity to try Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Set ($10), which by the way, I was dieing to use. I had heard and read many great reviews on this beauty product, and being the makeup junkie that I am, I just had to have it.
Unfortunately, it took me WEEKS to find it at my local Target. So, as soon as they had it in stock, I snatched it from the makeup display, rushed to the cash register and bought it. When I got home, I immediately walked straight to the mirror, took off my makeup, opened my new concealer kit and of course, applied a few layers of makeup under my eyes.
Guess what? It truly is an amazing kit!
The concealers come in a slim, white case. The size of this palette is small enough to carry in your purse. Also, some of these concealer sets include two small applicator brushes and a mirror. However, mine didn’t come with them, so I have no idea if the brushes are of good quality or if they’re even useful.
Anyways…
Both the concealers and neutralizer blend beautifully into my skin and they’re very creamy. I like that the concealers minimize the appearance of just about every one of my skin imperfections and it’s not cakey.
The concealers have a little yellow to them, which helps neutralize any red marks around the eyes and face. The set also includes a translucent pressed powder. The powder is perfect, it almost disappears against my fair skin.
Although, this concealer set is one of the best that I’ve used, it still has its flaws. First of all, it did crease under my eyes. Luckily, it wasn’t anything you couldn’t just fix with your fingertips, but still, it’s annoying. Also, this set only comes in one shade.
-How I Apply Sonia Kashuk’s Hidden Agenda Concealer Set:
You can use your fingertips, sponge or a make up brush. I like using synthetic brushes to apply concealer, but whichever tool you choose, try not to tug on the delicate skin around the eyes. Instead, use a tapping motion when applying concealer.
- Here’s the order I apply the concealers:
- Apply a layer of neutralizer to any red or pink spots around the eyes and face.
- Customize the concealer shade to match skin tone. (I blend both colors of concealer, but you don’t have to use both shades if you don’t need to.)
- Apply concealer over areas layered with neutralizer.
- With a cotton ball, dust translucent powder over the concealer. The powder sets the concealer and makes it last longer.
Overall, the price is amazing for the quality of this product. I would definitely buy again and yes, I do recommend you grab this one.
