Estee Lauder Disappear Smoothing Cream Concealer Review

Good morning everyone!  Tuesday is here and it's another Philippine Holiday!  If you have work today, it's okay!  Keep that smile as I'm sure traffic is more manageable!

Yesterday, I was busy with a shoot for a pet grooming salon called The Purple Groom.  I was picked as one of their brand ambassador together with my lovable Char Char (male Pomeranian).  It was a fun shoot and I am thanking God for all the blessings. 

Concealers, when will we ever stop searching for "the one"?  Well, technically, no one can say which concealer brand is THE BEST, pull out 10 girls and I'm sure you'll get at least 3 different concealer brands which they concealer their best!

As for me, I use different concealers depending on my mood and the needs of my skin.  There are some days my undereye circle is obvious while some days, a tiny zit would sprout from the chin or forehead.

As of the moment, yes, I'm not a One-Concealer-Woman!

• Try on testers and ask help from the SA on application tips and tricks before you purchase.

The shade I got is 03-Medium

 

A little goes a long way, I prefer applying a short line of the concealer on my hand ...

and blend the product with clean fingers to warm the concealer.  

03 Medium has a hint of pinkish undertone.

Blended

Coverage can always be built and it gives a matte yet "glowing" effect.

Before and after photo

To prove a point, I did not use any eye cream underneath so the distinct line under my eye area became obvious.  This problem can be solved by moisturizing the area properly prior to concealer application. The product definitely helped in lightening up the dark area creating a nice glow.

For a brand that I've always associated to good skincare, I'm quite surprised to find myself enjoying Estee Lauder makeup products more and more.  My first favorite Estee Lauder makeup product is the Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Foundation SPF10 and now, this one!  I can't wait to use more Estee Lauder cosmetics and I'm sure the brand will also work for most of my clients!

What's your favorite Estee Lauder makeup?

Stay happy!
