Jane Iredale Corrective Colors

Meet my trusty Jane Iredale Corrective Colors palette. I love this thing. I've always liked the idea of using color correcting concealers, but the ones I had tried before were more gimmicky than functional. These ones actually work.

All four colors in the palette are quite pigmented and have really nice texture. They cover really well but blend right in with your skin tone. I would describe the consistency as slightly on the dry side but not drying. The texture is also a sort of thin, so if you need to cover a pimple that is more 3D, you probably will need to put a powder on top to set the concealer. Generally, the coverage lasts most of the day, but need to reapplied over blemishes. I absolutely love the scent; the concealers smell slightly like cucumber.



Here the uses I have found for each color:

• I use the yellow tone for concealing spots and redness, especially around the nose. It can also be used under the eyes to counteract purple and blue circles, but the orange color is even better for that.
• The beige color is supposed to be the regular toned concealer, and I think it would work on many  light to medium skintones, but is by no means universal. If I have used some bronzer, this color matches me perfectly. On my regular skin, it is too dark, and needs to be topped with my foundation powder to make it match.
• The orange color is amazing on undereye circles. I don't have a huge problem with darkness under my eyes, but the orange totally cancels out the purple and blends right in with my skin tone. You wouldn't think it would match my super pale skin, but it does. It also doesn't cake up or settle into fine lines. This is my favorite one of the set.
• The purple color I use as a highlight in my inner corner or brow bone. I also sometimes use it as a cream base for eyeshadow. It does a nice job of creating an even, light canvas for color.

The little brush that it comes with can actually be quite useful, but I wasn't a huge fan of the packaging. The cardboard looks nice when you first get it, but gets dirty after you use it. A better example of cardboard packaging is the Ecco Bella FlowerColor Bronzer, which is sturdier and can be wiped clean. I have actually taken the concealer pans out and put them in an e.l.f. palette (available at Target for only $1!), which much sturdier and contains a nice big mirror.



I highly recommend checking out this product, it is a neat concept and a multitasking everyday essential for me.
