The CDP version is slightly larger than the Hourglass one, though certainly not double the size I only have to replace my Hourglass concealer once every six months. And here’s where I admit I actually use two concealers every day: the Hourglass concealer for blemishes and discoloration, and the Clinique Airbrush concealer for undereyes and shadowy areas that need a bit of brightening.Īnyway! The Hourglass stick! It’s great! It’s also reasonable at $34, half the price of its closest competitor, the $70 cult Clé de Peau concealer.

It is not, however, great for undereye circles.

The directions state that it is for concealing basically anything from freckles to acne to under eye circles. While it is creamy and easy to blend, it isn't so sticky that it would has the potential to slide right off. It covers red spots and dark spots equally well, dries to a nice matte-but-not-flaky finish, and doesn’t cause any further breakouts. The much anticipated Cle de Peau concealer has finally arrived. It comes in stick form, which is far preferable to bacteria-breeding pots, and gives just the right amount of coverage, which is to say as much as possible without being conspicuous. It’s by Hourglass, and there are many things to love about it. Concealer, of course, is the most important component of the no-makeup makeup look. I’ve spent the last 17 years perfecting my cosmetics lineup as new brands and products have come onto the market, and I’m quite pleased with my current concealer of choice. I know there’s all sorts of patriarchal bullshit tied up in these feelings, but also, fuck it: I look better in makeup. Ahem Cle de Peaus Concealer is 70 Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer is 32 and just as bloody awesome kids. In-store pickup and alterations services available.

Just like my skincare regimen, my makeup routine involves a stupidly high volume of products and a whole lot of layering, all resulting in what I consider a “very normal face.” I guess it’s a version of the popular and maligned no-makeup makeup look, the one that gives the appearance of even, glowing skin and naturally rosy cheeks and in fact takes a fair amount of time and money to achieve.
