#GLOSSIER STRETCH CONCEALER UK SKIN#
If, however, you have fairly good skin and love that au naturel sort of look that’s weekendy and effortless, just a hint of a tint, then go for it. Though it’s perfectly lovely, if you don’t already own a tube of heavy-duty non-sticky lip balm – lighter in texture than Lanolips and easier to spread.Īt the risk of spoiling the video, I’ll add that the Perfecting Skin Tint and Stretch Concealer are very, very sheer, so if you’re trying to cover up or mask imperfections then you’re barking up the wrong tree with Glossier. The universal lip balm (scented with coconut, or birthday cake, amongst other things) just didn’t float my beauty boat, possibly because I already use Lanolipsand this didn’t really bring anything extra to the party. I think Boy Brow was Emily’s other favourite (if I could get my iPhone to play the video of our meeting I’d be able to tell you for sure, but iPhone and I are having issues at the moment) so we were on the same page in that respect, but yeah. Actually, for me it would be a tie between Cloud Paint and Boy Brow, which is a brow-plumping and grooming pomade that quickly turns straggly, rubbish eyebrows into slightly bushier, sexier, neater eyebrows. I think Emily cited the multi-purpose Balm Dot Com as her number one “desert island” product, whereas mine would probably be the Cloud Paint blusher, for its amazingly cute packaging and easy-to-blend formula.
Interestingly (for me, at least) the product that Emily liked the most is definitely not my own favourite pick. Pretty basic stuff, but hopefully useful if you’ve seen all of the Glossier fuss and want to make an order. In the video below, I put all of the makeup on my face at once and tell you what I like (or dislike) about it.
I couldn’t wait to see what all the fuss was about and was lucky enough to get a few minutes with the founder of the brand, the lovely Emily Weiss, who talked me through the range and left me with a bag of samples to try out. Created by the Into The Gloss beauty editors and very much developed by listening to comments and feedback from their readers, Glossier is a relatively small (but fast-growing) collection of skincare and makeup which – until now – has been pretty hard to get hold of outside of the US.īut it has now landed on the UK shores – no custom charges, no long waits on orders (though I hear there’s something of a hold-up at the moment due to massive demand) and no general sense of unease as to whether your parcel will ever actually arrive. To my surprise, my Stretch Concealer goes on way more smoothly and sinks into my skin much better when it's slightly warm.There has been a huge kerfuffle around the UK launch of Glossier, the beauty brand from brilliant website Into The Gloss. But a few times in the past several months, I'll go to an early-morning gym class or plan a happy hour after work and throw my makeup in my bag to apply or touch up away from home. I keep my room at a nice chilly 68 degrees when I sleep (is there anything better than sleeping in a cold room?), and that's where I also store my makeup. I love that it's designed to be applied with your fingers, because I'm all about quick morning makeup routines when I've got to get to work quickly in the morning.Īfter using Glossier's concealer for a few months now, I've made a weird discovery about the best way to apply it.
I picked up my first jar of Stretch Concealer at a Glossier pop-up in New York a few months ago, and I've been using it almost every day since then. Ever since I first tried out Glossier's beauty products a few months ago, I've been a major fan of Glossier Stretch Concealer, the creamy, sheer concealer from the cosmetics company.
