[Make-Up REVIEW] Etude Surprise Concealer (Natural Beige)

So yeah. Long time nooo seeeeeeeee, my dear blog *that somehow now turns into my random storage can--*
After a long long time (literally years) of not writing blog post I somehow want to do an item review today (after checking the make up group I joined on Facebook, triggered by my friend Ritsuka's new post notification). And the thing I want to review is pretty much my personally much-loved Etude Surprise Concealer. No pictures tho, too lazy to take any orz #lazyass

And hey thanks for Haru Daisy for making me actually do this and not continue on procrasting with Android VNs lol. Pardon the rusty English pls.

On to the review, this is what the product looks like (taken froom Google Images)

..Hey, I've just realized it has two shades? *looks at mine*

Oh well, mine's shade no. ... ..No... I forgot. *checks Line history with the dealer*

Well it said 'Natural Beige', though. And apparently it costed me about IDR80,000

lol And that actually took me like 6 hours or so to check it hahaha (because she wandered around the net again while on it)

For a 6 grams pack it costs quite a lot, but I think it really is worth it, which I will say the reason why below. It's about the height of average middle finger btw. Not my middle finger, simply because my fingers are so short ugh.

Coverage: I would pretty much give it a 4/5 star, which means it's awesome considering it's a liquid concealer. (For total coverage probably a bit more solid concealer like those in sticks would do better)

In color, this is the IMPORTANT part, which I love. The color is very fitting for Asian skin. I don't know how it is with the other shade, but the shade I'm using has this slightly yellowish tint in it, which really gives a nice color corrector effect to spots like dark circles. It makes it perfect for concealing eyecircles, especially ones like mine that is bad enough to the point the surface is rough and it appears to be greyish. The yellowish tint (pigments) actually helps it return to my normal face tone.

Considering its liquid form, it's not that thick to cover/even out the rough uneven surface of my eye circles, but it's nice enough that it doesn't smudge around it like thicker (usually sticks) concealers do to those circles.

It's doing a very nice job at color-correcting it anyway,  so they can be concealed nicely without looking awkward like someone just throws a bag of flour right to your eyes.

And yeah, since it handles eye circles very well, it also goes without saying that it also handles redness very well! =D

Texture: Very nice, it blends smoothly and nicely to the base make up and skin while doing its covering job well done. It helps a lot in making the make up doesn't look too heavy. But it is indeed liquid-y, which in 'liquidity' case it has low density, more watery/wet than most face make-up products, so yeah it is really advised to give it touch up with compact powder or two-way cake afterwards.

Brush: *see pic*

So yeah, the brush is rather different. While most liquid concealers in similar packs use brushes that in form are similar to a lipgloss/lipshiner's, this one has a rather rounded tip as the pic displays.

IMO it actually helps a lot when you try to apply it to spots like pimples. Average brushes makes the applied liquid rather uneven (rather thick at one end, thin at the other), while when you tap it with this brush it actually places the perfect even ideal amount of the concealer to the pimple.

Tips: If you plan to use this on most part of your face, maybe you should check the shade of your BBCream/CCCream/Foundation first. Some brands tends to be designed for lighter/paler skin tone, as in westerners, than for Asians. In this case, this concealer (and I suppose most of Etude's products) has a more natural yellowish color (we call it 'langsat' in Indonesian), so it will probably ruin the color/tone of your previously applied foundation if you plan to use the concealer in many parts of your face when the foundie you just applied are designed for westerners/paler skin.

What I mean is, some shades like in Missha (at least their BB cream, and also Wardah's foundation) are meant to look like pinkish-white (remember Pond's?) and look rather pale to average Asian skintones because it's meant to be like... Anne Hathaway's white. (sorry I couldn't find better example) while the others like half/most of Etude's or South East Asia's brand products (like Sari Ayu) have this yellowish tint in their shades. So yeah, it will kinda crash the overall make-up shade slightly if you combine them.

Well, that's all. I hope this helps. Feel free to PM me on FB (for anyone who read this and have questions) if you want to ask about the product. People that haven't been friends with me may get delayed reply, though, because I rarely check the 'Others' folder.
Thanks for reading and Good luck trying ;)
