In case you haven’t heard yet, Make Up For Ever has released a new concealer. And it’s kinda amazing.
The baby to the HD Generation family, the latest innovation to the range is invisible, luminous and comfortable, which focuses on correcting and concealing dark under-eye circles, while seamlessly blurring fine lines and wrinkles.
Priced at C$32 and available at Sephora and makeupforever.ca, this concealer illuminates and brightens the eye contour with the help of some key ingredients:
- Lamellar structure pigments, which reflect and diffuse light erasing under-eye shadows and blurring imperfections
- An anti-dark circle complex which is comprised of green algae and amino acids to help conceal and correct
- A radiance boosters, which is comprised of an Asian berry extract that helps to stimulate collagen production to brighten and smooth the skin
- A 3D elastomer gel to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
This concealer is available in 10 shades, but divided into two categories: correcting and concealing. The five correcting shades neutralize dark circles and counterbalance discolouration and blue tones, whereas the five concealing shades conceal imperfections, even out skin tone and brighten the under-eye area for a refreshed look.
I received the colour R20 Porcelain, which is part of the colour correct range. When I first saw these popping up all over social media I totally thought that they would have a brush to apply the product, but instead it’s a nozzle tip that can be applied directly to the skin. I have applied the product with both my fingers and the nozzle and both ways work great. I was a bit apprehensive about applying this straight from the tube, and although I sometimes have the tendency to use too much, it does work actually quite well; much better than I thought it would.
I definitely think this concealer is worth checking out. It does leave a nice coverage on your face and sets really nice as well. I don’t particularly have anything I need to conceal, so I didn’t put it through the ringer, but I loved the way it blended out, leaving you with a nice and natural finish. I will say that I did notice some patchiness under one of my eyes. I’m not sure if it was the product or dry skin, but I’ve only noticed this one time.
There are so many concealers out there already, but if you are a fan of the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD line (I’m hit and miss, depending on the products), I would definitely look into this.

When it comes to Valentine’s Day makeup, there’s really two options – a red lip or a soft pink look. Okay, there’s obviously more, but to me, these two colours just scream Valentine’s Day.
Since red lipstick is so not kissable, I naturally gravitate towards pink. You can wear it bold, you can wear it soft, play it up on your eyes, on your lips, cheeks, you name it. It’s an easy colour to incorporate into your makeup for the most romantic day of the year.
Since men love shiny things, I decided to jazz up a soft pink look with some rose-gold glitter to the eyes. I naturally had to go with the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, since delectable sweet treats are a V-Day staple and although this guy looks and smells like chocolate, it’s calorie free. I paired it with some flirty lashes and a soft lip for the perfect Valentine’s Day date-night look.
1. Fill in your brows, then apply a light pink cream shadow to your lids to act as a eyeshadow primer. I used Ombres Sothys in Rose Tendre, a soft gel eyeshadow that feels like a mousse.
2. Grabbing the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, I applied Strawberry Bon Bon to the lid area.
3. From the same palette, I applied Champagne Truffle over top Strawberry Bon Bon to add a bit more pink and some shimmer.
4. For the glitter, I used Stila Magnificant Metals foiled eyeshadow in Kitten over the eyeshadow shades. Although this does come with a mixing medium, I just applied it with my fingers.
5. With a crease brush, I put Black Forest Truffle into my crease area to darken it up. I chose to keep it quite light though, since I want this look to be more romantic as opposed to all-out sexy.
6. Apply your foundation then move onto lashes. Apply some mascara and some false lashes. Before I did this, I actually lightly lined my upper waterline with a black pencil liner just to add some darkness to the lash line since I’m not using a liner. For the lashes, I used Kiss Looks So Natural lashes in Shy.
7. I decided I needed a bit more glitter, so I applied the glittery end of the Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art in Peach Prism.
8. For the lower lash line, I lightly applied Black Forest Truffle, lined my waterline with a nude liner to open it up, then added some mascara to my lower lashes. For concealer I used Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Concealer.
9. Next up, contour, highlight and add some blush. For my contour, first I applied Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer in Devil’s Food to the hollows of my cheekbones, which I later blended out with a beauty blender. Over top, I used the NYX Contour and Highlight kit. For blush, I used MAC Oh, My! blush (from the Flamingo Park collection – online exclusive). For the highlight I used Becca Champagne Pop.
10. For the lips, I first lined my lips with a nude-pink lip liner. Then I applied Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid in Pink Charge with MAC Creme de Nude over top. Finally, I sprayed Sothys Fresh & Fix mist to set everything.
For the hair, first I washed it with Arbonne Pure Vibrance Lustre Fortifying Shampoo and Fortifying Creme Conditioner, which is for dull or chemically treated hair. These products restore hair to healthy, luminous shine and gives you lustre from root to tip. From there, I went in with my One Styling Bubble Wand curler for some beachy waves that relax as the night goes on. Spray it with hairspray (love Aveda Air Control) then mist on some Drybar Sparkling Soda for some shine and you’re done!
I actually wore this look last Saturday night, and even though date night ended up getting cancelled, I totally want to recreate it. The whole thing is just so soft and feminine and can be worn with any outfit. You can choose to skip the glitter if you wish to downplay the eyes a little more, or go with a bolder look if you want to play up the lips. Let me know if you decide to wear this for Valentine’s Day!
How are you planning on wearing your makeup on VDay?
