Cle De Peau Concealer Review


Cle De Peau Beaute, by Shisiedo, is considered a luxury line adored by many celebrities and models such as Pamela Anderson, Catherina Zeta Jones, Cameron Diaz, Mary Louis Parker, Kim Kardashian, etc. Cle De Peau makes amazing products, but is best known to makeup artists for its innovative concealer. Frequently featured in all major fashion magazines as a best concealer buy, it was listed as an InStyle Best Beauty Buy for undereye concealer from 2005 - 2007. Even Kim Kardashian shared on her official site, she cannot live without her Cle De Peau concealer!

The concealer comes in a slick navy/gold packaging and unlike most concealers, the case feels solid to the touch and is in every sense a pure luxury. At $72, it had better be! Although many might squirm at the initial thought of spending so much money on a concealer, this gold encased stick is highly pigmented and does a flawless job of concealing undereyes circle. One small dot of this is enough to banish those evidence of all night partying to the abyss. I also like to use this concealer as a blemish cover up. The Ocher shade is perfect for my skin tone and coupled with my MAC concealer brush, I am able to fake it as if I was born with glowing skin. One other use of this concealer stick, as I sometimes do, is to use it as a stick foundation. Since it is highly pigmented I only need a few swipe of it on my face and the smooth creamy texture just melts into my skin.

The only downside - it comes in only three shades: Ivory, Ocher, and Beige. I highly recommend all of you ladies to run out, and get yours today since this concealer is regularly sold out. It took me three trips to Barneys on my last hunt, and yes, I bought all that they had left, which was a measly two. Find a store near you or get it at your nearest Saks, Neiman Marcus, Barneys, or selected Nordstrom stores.
