brightening concealer for fair skin

Hi there! Happy Monday! And, Happy Halloween!

Today I want to do the follow up to my Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Part 1 first impression review. I have now been wearing this concealer for about a week, and I feel like I’ve worn it enough to give my full (spoiler alert) stamp of approval. I do have to say the fact that I am posting a white concealer review on Halloween is making me a laugh a bit ; ) You could totally use this for a Halloween look too ; ) If you have tried this concealer, or a white concealer let me know in the comments : )

Review

As I talked about in Part 1, I really love how much this can brighten my fair skin! Until trying this white concealer I was never able to conceal my under eyes with a concealer that was lighter than my fair complexion, and I was so surprised to see how much I could brighten the under eye area! That may sound silly, but if you have very fair skin then you may understand! I have now used this over mineral foundation like the Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Powder Matte Foundation, medium to full coverage foundation like Covergirl Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation, and lighter BB creams and have found this to work well with all of them. I have used both a Beauty Blender and the Sigma F86 Tapered Kabuki and while both work I prefer to use a damp Beauty Blender sponge. I have not had any issues with dryness, but do keep in mind that I have combo/oily skin. I have not found this to settle into fine lines, but I do set this with a translucent setting powder like the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder. Overall, I really love the Kat Von D Lock-It White Out Concealer! It has become my go-to for my under eye concealing!

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a great week so far! As most of you know, I have very fair skin and if you have very fair skin then you know the struggle that is finding a brightening concealer. I am usually the lightest, or the second lightest, foundation color, and I always buy the lightest concealer possible. A common beauty tip is to conceal your under eye and any area you’d like to highlight, with a concealer that is one or two shades lighter than your skin tone, and while that’s great advice if your skin tone is the same shade as the lightest concealer options, that can be a problem! So, I was very excited to try the Kat Von D Lock-It concealer and today I will share my first impressions with you : ) I will be doing a check in and final thoughts post in the next week or two, so please let me know if you like that for future product reviews as well.

This concealer claims to offer great coverage without settling into fine lines and brighten.

First Impression

When I first applied it in a triangle under my eyes I was a little shocked and how thick and white it was, which is silly because it is a WHITE concealer, but I haven’t ever put white makeup on my face before ; ) However, I was able to easily blend this in with a damp Beauty Blender. The coverage seems to be very good, and I was blown away by how brightening it was for my under eye! I do have dark circles, so I love that I was able to brighten it so much! I did have to be careful to not go too heavy because I didn’t want to look ashy. I love that this didn’t settle into my fine lines at all. So far, I haven’t noticed any issues with dryness with this concealer, but I will be keeping an eye on that to update you with my check in and final thoughts post in the next week or two on this concealer.
