[REVIEW] ETUDE HOUSE SURPRISE CONCEALER KIT NO. 2 DARK CIRCLE BRIGHTENING

Hey Beauties!!! I'm baaaaaack!

So I finally found the time to go back to blogging :) and I have  great news!!! I am now a certified make-up artist!

 I joined a 3-day intensive make-up workshop with Archibald Tolentino (chief make-up artist of Maybelline Philippines) as our mentor and I've learned a lot!!! I realized that I've been buying the wrong products, wrong skin shade, wrong color shade and a whole lot more. So yeah, I basically learned the dos and don'ts of putting on/applying make-up and of purchasing make-up. 

So while I was in the workshop, I brought all my make-up products and our mentor assesed the products that we have and this  product that I am going to make a review about caught his attention because he thinks it is a good cream concealer and it's the Etude House Surprise Concealer Kit in no. 2 (dark circle brightening)

Let's get it on!

Brand: Etude House

Product Name: Surprise Concealer Kit no.2 (Dark Circle Brightening)

Cost: If my memory serves me right, I think I purchased this for 6000 ₩ (around 222 php. or 6$)

Volume: 3 grams

Texture: cream in palette

Product Description: There's not much product description (in english) in its packaging so I researched around the net and found these:

-  Melting concealer that covers and brightens dark under eye circles
- Covers effectively with 2 colors.
- Covers with smooth and moisturizing fit.
- Fits smoothly, and keeps make-up for hours.

How to use: 
1. Do base make-up with make-up base, foundation or BB cream.
2. Apply small amount of peach color on dark circle area under eye. 
3. Apply small amount of beige color on peach color.

PROS:
- the texture is really creamy and the coverage is really good
- the price is adfordable for a two-color concealer
- the packaging is handy (it comes with a mirror)

CONS:
- the beige color doesn't match my skin tone.I need it to be more yellowish for it to cover my dark circles especially around my lips. But if you have a pale skin, like most Koreans have, this product may be suitable for you ;)
- It doesn't last long for me. I don't know, maybe because my skin is acidic or whatever.
- I hope it came with a tiny spatula to scoop out the product for it to be hygienic :)

OVERALL RATING: 3.5/5

Will I purchase it again? Yes if only it matches my skin tone, but since it doesn't, I don't think so :)

That's all for now 

Thanks for reading!! <3
