Max Factor Erase Secret Cover-Up

by Shannon on October 21st, 2006

What they say:

Twist it up, just like a lipstick, to effortlessly blend away dark under-eye circles and cover minor blemishes. Erace Secret Cover-Up has a creamy matte finish.

What I thought:

The color I tried out, was perfect for my skin color. I received Medium, which is for cool and warm tones. I fall somewhere in between.

I loved that I could “erase” some of the ruddiness to my skintone and cover those red blemish scars on my chin. I also loved that the color blended with my skin, not making it obvious that I had concealer on. I’ve used concealers in the past that just looked orange, cakey and just plain obvious. There’s no point in using a concealer that is basically pointing out to the world, “Hey look, I tried to cover up this blemish, but instead just made it the focus of my face.”

Max Factor’s Erase Secret Cover-Up does just what the name implies…it’s a secret between you and your face. This concealer had a matte finish, so there was no shine. I also used a sponge wedge to blend instead of my fingertips since I have such an oily T-zone. This helped lessened the chances of any oil transferring from my fingertips to my face.

Finally, when using Max Factor’s Pan Stik foundation over this concealer, it was not apparent at all that I used a concealer. The colors for both products matched perfectly and they both had a matte finish.

Fabulous!
