ConsIt's a shame it's not sold domestically. I have to stock up on it whenever I travel abroad!
TipThis is an excellent product that excels at the core function of a concealer! Just dab on a small amount before or after foundation to cover up areas you want to hide, and it will last for a long time!

It doesn't appear overly pale or gray-toned, but just the right bright and pretty shade. The 10ml amount is generous and great. Concealers are usually around 5ml, so this is a nice, ample size. I sometimes use it as a foundation replacement, and since it covers blemishes and redness well on my cheeks, I often apply it over a wider area. I also like the packaging. The design is clean and nice, not cheap-looking or lightweight. The cap has a slightly metallic material, and the unique purple zigzag pattern looks distinctive without looking tacky. The cylindrical shape is not too thick or long, so it's portable. The volume is about double a typical concealer, but the container isn't overly bulky or heavy. It's a stick formula, and the stick part is thick and generous, making it easy to apply. And it's cruelty-free, which I appreciate.
ConsThe fact that there are only a few Sephora stores nationwide where you can test it out is a downside. The color range is so extensive that testing is essential, but since I don't go to Sephora often, I had to wait until I had the chance to visit and finally get it. The limited accessibility is probably the biggest drawback. And since it's a full-coverage formula, it is a bit drying. As an oily-skinned person, it's not too bad for me, but I can imagine it might be quite drying for dry skin types.
TipThe slightly fluffy, not-too-dense puffs like the Skinfood Wedge Puff work best. I've tried using my hands and brushes, but the puff was the best application method. Specifically, the Skinfood Wedge Puff-type puffs with lower density and a non-slippery surface worked the best. It felt the least cakey and thick, and didn't emphasize dryness or cakiness. This puff worked great not just for spot concealing, but also for applying it all over the face like a foundation. It's great to use this as an all-over foundation replacement, doubling as a concealer. Applying a primer or makeup base first helps. Or you can use a multi-purpose sunscreen as the base. First, draw the product all over the face with the stick, then lightly pat it in with the Wedge Puff. For areas needing more coverage, dab on some extra and pat it in again with the puff. The stick format is convenient, as it doesn't get on your hands, and you can do both foundation and concealer in one step without color mismatch issues. The transfer is minimal, and the finish is powdery and lovely. You can stop there, or if you want an extra step, I'd recommend a setting spray rather than powder. Since the product itself is already matte and powdery, adding powder can make it look cakey and heavy. Just finishing with the product itself or a setting spray is best.
