#Glossier concealer skin

In general, Octyldodecanol spreads easily when applied to the skin – leaving no visible trace of greasiness. Fatty alcohols occur in components of wax esters in plants and animals and are often used as emulsifiers, emollients, antifoaming agents, and surfactants.

Octyldodecanol is a long-chain saturated fatty alcohol.

Each new shade is slightly modified with the following ingredients: UPDATE: Since this post, Glossier has reformulated and expanded their shades from the original 5 (Light, Medium, Dark, Deep, Rich) to 12 (G1-G12). I’ll post about the lightweight foundation, cloud paints, lipsticks, and more Glossier products later as they all certainly deserve evaluation. So, I’ve always been fond of medium to sheer coverage for every day moderate wear.Īfter the Glossier Phase 2 Set, I’ve since purchased the Perfecting Skin Tint, the highly pigmented Cloud Paints (in all available colors), and MORE Generation G matte lipsticks. In fact, the Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer has always been my go-to.

Full disclosure, I’ve always been a light foundation wearer. I could use it to simply conceal but then build up the coverage so that it acted as a potted tinted concealer. Much like the RMS Beauty Buriti Bronzer, this product served a multipurpose function. The Stretch Concealer, however, changed things. And in the end, I rarely used concealers in my makeup regime. It brightened and covered other troubled spots throughout my face to my amazement.įor me, most concealers were either too thick or completely wrong for my skin tone. It provided just the right amount of coverage for my slightly sallow under eye area. Claims that the product was a “makeup that lets skin look like skin.” So I went out and purchased Glossier Phase 2 Set – which included the Stretch Concealer, Boy Brow and Generation G matte lipstick (both highly touted products). Curious at the effective nature of a concealer which offered all these promises and claims. But for now, I’ll focus on the concealer. I know a lot of folks will want me to comment on the other products in their growing line. Ok, so to get back to the Glossier Stretch Concealer. Glossier’s business model seems to gravitate to this growing trend of inclusive beauty rather than the traditional exclusiveness that has often plagued the industry.Īnd while their marketing tactics seem to focus on this inclusive beauty trend, how do their products hold up with respect to claims and ingredients?īecause in the end, it’s about how the product performs and what it includes – am I right? So if you are into makeup even in the slightest – chances are you’ve come across their product line.Īlthough it’s targeted marketing and aesthetic seem to focus primarily on the millennial crowd, this product does have a reach beyond the young set. In the last few years, the Glossier business model and product range have been the most copied beauty company bar none. The Glossier brand needs no introduction.
