Askmewhats Reviews: DollFace Concealer Palette

Hey all!

I never thought I'll be talking about concealers once again.

Everyone knew how much I love the MakeUp Forever Concealer Palette I recently purchased, how impressed I am with NYX Concealer in a Jar for its price and quality. I thought there's no more concealer for me. Until I saw this palette.

Tadah!!!
Yes that's right!
a total of 10 concealer shades!

Dollface Concealer Palette says ---

Ingredients:
Squalene, Octyl Palmitate, Beeswax, Talc, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Petrolatum, Propylparaben.

May contain:
Titaium Dioxide, Iron Oxides

Pros

• very creamy
  
• easy to blend
• did not settle on fine lines
  
• you can mix and match to achieve desired concealer shade
• a little goes a long way
• doesn't feel heavy when applied
• doesn't oil up
  
• the palette size is perfect to carry along
• no allergic reactions on me
  

Cons

• melts easily on warm temperature
• it'll be better if they included green and purple concealer in this palette!
  
• has a weird "oil" scent (but this will be gone easily)
  

Overall

Is this the same as Coastal Scents palette?

I am sure that's the question that has been on the mind of many reading this review. I asked the seller directly and upon seeing the palettes, YES they are the same.

Dollface Cosmetics purchased the palettes straight from the distributor that's why it looks the same as Coastal Scents palettes. Again, they are the same!

How in a hell would you use this much concealer in one face? Well, I strongly suggest this for people who are into studying makeup. As we all know, if you are a student for any make-up school, different shades of concealers are required and using an expensive one to "practice" creates a big hole in the wallet and our heart! LOL So I suggest to purchase this if you are into putting makeup to other people as well as the different shades are great for different types of people.

But if you are someone who loves to put make-up to oneself, then I suggest you purchase a smaller palette or single concealer.

Tips

• never store in a warm place, concealer will melt easily
• always store in cool dry place
• if you plan to use this for other people, use a taklon brush or sponge, do not use your fingers directly...hey let's talk about hygiene ok? :D
  
• after applying the concealer directly from the brush, warm the concealer with your hands to blend it well onto the skin.
• always set the concealer with face powder
  

Will I repurchase?

Yes

Where can you purchase and how much?

At Dollface Cosmetics website for Php900.00 (approx $18.75) not including shipping

I received the palette in a very good condition
The seller had the palette well protected
with bubble wraps and this....

Here's to show you the size of each pan
Same size as MAC e/s

Let me swatch them for you

Askmewhats Version: "Silver Bullet" Look

Happy Days will always be here, if you let happiness comes in!
That....is not my motto! LOL That just came into my mind today!
Power of positivity! That's what I'm living up for!

Anyways, let me get back to what beauty blogging is about! Beauty! LOL
to be honest, I started blogging without my friends knowing! hahaha
I kinda found out at the end, that some of them knows about this blog..so I've got nowhere else to go but ... *waves at my friends* HI THERE! LOL

Here's a look inspired by using Silvers! I haven't done a look using silver because I don't have a lot of "pure silver" e/s! Silly me for forgetting about my 78pcs Digital Angel palette :)

Here's the final look created

Askmewhats Diagram

Step 1:
Primed my lids with MAC Soft Ochre Paintpot. Spritz on MAC FIX+ on the brush (to intensify the colors). Pat on Silver e/s or pigments (if you have) on the inner thirds of the lid, add as you move on.

Step 2:

Use a light "mocha" color and sweep it all over the crease area to give out an illusion of "deep crease"

Step 3:

Using a small crease brush, apply any matte black e/s on the outer V. I am using MAC's 226 brush and MAC Carbon e/s.

Tip: Apply this with eyes open. Makes a better v crease look.

Step 4:
Sweep with any light colored matte e/s 2-3 tones lighter than your skin to highlight the browbone.

Step 5:

Apply black gel cream liner/ pencil/ liquid liner (whatever you feel comfortable with) on the upper and lower lashline, leaving the inner 1/4 of the lower lashline. I am using MM Gel Liner in Inky Black.

Step 6:

Highlight the inner 1/4 of lower lashline and inner tearduct with CS Silk White gel liner with a CS Pink Angled Taklon brush.

Do not forget to curl your lashes
Apply 2 coats of mascara!
my first coat is CG Lash Blast
2nd coat is P&J Curly Mascara in Black

Fill in your brows
Look back and fix
whatever needs to be fixed

Reader's Corner: Askmewhats Answers

*yawns*
"Coffee anyone?" lol

Anyways, I will be answering some queries from my readers, I know I have answered most but I still want to share for readers who probably would ask the same questions at the back of their head :)

Question:

"What's a good starter blush you can recommend? "

Askmewhats Answer

It really depends on your budget. My first blush ever is from Maybelline's Color Wear Blush in 02 Rose. I bought it because they were on sale for 25% off and they work quite good! If you are on a budget, you can go for L'oreal, Maybelline, or Revlon blushes and do wait for their sale! They usually have it once every 3 months and so far, it works! I've finished it up and I like it!

Question:

"What's a good and affordable lip brush?"


Askmewhats Answer

For lip brush, there's no hard rules to purchase one! There's a whole lot of generic lip brush and you can go check out Watson's and go for the retractable one or the ones with cap so it's always protected inside your makeup bag! :)

Here's my first lip brush,
which I still have up to date.
My g-lish lip brush
from the brush set I own.

I love it that the lip brush is protected



You can attach the cap
to the bottom part of the brush



If your lip brush is well taken care of
It'll last you for long!

Question:

"Can you list down all the TFS polish shade you own?"


Askmewhats Answer

I don't own a lot of TFS Nail Polishes YET because I have been purchasing different brands for the past years. Now that I found myself loving them, I will definitely have a bigger collection of TFS brush in the future. Here's what I have at the moment. A very small collection .

From Left to Right

25 Rainblow Blue Pearl
62 Shimmering Lavender
RD301
PK104
BR802

And of course!
Do not forget my favorite
Base and Top Coat

L- Base Coat
R- Top Coat

I hope my Q&A helps!
Thanks for your trust in Askmewhats!
Have a wonderful day!
