For the past two weeks or so I have been using Max Factor’s Erace Secret Cover-up. I have the Medium shade although I generally use one of the lightest shades in any collection and the funny thing is that I think I like this shade much better than my usual. In any case, I notice I use it every day and have just about abandoned my Avon concealer wand.

I think it does an excellent job of covering up dark shadows and discolorations under my eyes. I notice a difference right away and the slightly salmon tint of the concealer makes me look more natural, rather than having raccoon eyes that I have to put foundation over to even out. In fact, one day my concealer was as far as I got in my makeup routine and I got an unsolicited compliment from a coworker who said I looked really good that day.

The concealer is designed like a lipstick which does make application fairly simple and the formula is creamy, not thick or dry. It is easily blended even if you don’t put your foundation over it, but if you do, be prepared to notice how flawless your complexion now looks. And of course, my favorite new foundation is my Max Factor Pan Stik.
