My second time to make another extensive review and I feel like this is going to be a tough one.
To begin with, I am not an expert to make a review on any beauty product nor do I claim to be make-up educated. So I’d rather tag my reviews with experiences because after all they are my own experiences and with experiences, opinions vary. What I have is this addiction on make-up and almost 3-4 yrs stint of doing professional make-up, other than that I am here to write reviews for my own circle of friends who also love make up (they are less than 10 peeps by the way hee hee).
What do I consider when I buy something? Not just the price, also its components, but most especially, I consider reviews of other bloggers and even the one liner comments of people who bought the product. This is the reason why I would not dare take a hoodia gordonii pill or any diet pill for that matter. Because I am not that gutsy to put my immune system/health stature to risk knowing there will be side effects if I base my judgment on random testimonials.
Where do I begin.
The first time I heard about Eve Pearl Salmon Concealers was when MakeupGeek and Temptalia listed it among their top concealers. Then the hype grew when more and more make-up fanatics bought the product and raved about it. There were about 85% satisfied costumers and only 15% unsatisfied costumers in the Make Up Alley forum site. So I thought, I wouldn’t go wrong trying this out considering that Salmon or peach shade will definitely cover the blues and purples of my dark undereye circle, the way green concealers cover the redness of your skin.
I bought without any coupon and got it for $44.00!!! (tax and shipping inclusive)
Again, I am not compensated to make reviews. The price was pretty steep but like what I always say, dark undereye circles will always be the story of my life. I will never stop finding the perfect concealer for me.
Shipping was fast, what do you expect for an $8.oo-shipping cost and the item is just tiny weeny bit small.
When I got it, I was so excited that I instantly took a picture of it and instagram-ed it:

I told myself, aha, this reminds me so much of Cinema Secrets concealers which I used for my brides years back except this was a little more emollient/creamy since it also doubles as undereye treatment.
Step by Step
I got Salmon Dual Concealer in LIGHT/MEDIUM shade and THE COLORS were darker than what I expected it. Now, I am around MAC nc25 shade and this makes me wonder how about those who are lighter-skinned than I am. They do not have a lot of shades to play around with.


The first blend of the medium using a concealer brush was awesome. It instantly covered the blues/purple hues of my undereye circles but something’s not right, it was too peachy/orangey so I mixed it with the light shade and it blended well with my natural skintone. I dabbed a little powder to settle it because it looked like it will crease. So far so good. After about 3 hours, it was going away probably because of my natural oil and because I am sweating or for some odd reasons, it was not long wearing. Definitely it won’t work well during warm weather and I suppose, to more oily skin.
The next day I tried using it under a foundation and it stayed on really well then the 3rd day, I still won’t quit trying and wore it on top of a foundation and it reacted the way the first time I used it. Application can be really tough because it is very creamy. It was so hard to get a flawless finish as you will end up removing too much of the product. But if you apply this with a primer, then foundation and then this, it will stay on long and blending will be easy. Then again, I am on the hunt for the perfect on the go concealer.
