With the reformulation, all of the shades remained the same. Although the texture is slightly creamier and more pliable, this is still a tricky product to work with, mostly because its success depends on how adept you are at mixing two shades to create a custom color that looks convincing. Secret Camouflage was reformulated in mid-2011, with the goal being to make it easier to blend. All of the duos have yellow to beige or peach to copper colors that can work if mixed in the right proportions, but why would you want to do that when there are so many excellent one-step concealers available? Still, this concealer has its appeal and there's no denying it provides formidable coverage, especially for dark circles.

For LM Secret Camouflage, I use SC-4 which worked well for my undertone and skin tone.īelle demoiselle by dom and ksuan is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.īased on a work at Camouflage is a two-sided compact concealer with a thick, dry texture and truly opaque camouflage coverage. 3 intensity for Estee Lauder Double Wear Light, and no. However, if you have a single shade concealer that you’re perfectly happy with and it matches you, you don’t have to get this. If you like the idea of the dual system and you find it works for you, formula-wise, then by all means, get it. You can use this if you’re using concealers to create depth and angles to your face – the darker undertone side works very well in this aspect. However, the undertone and skin tone concept is a little strange and unnecessary for me, particularly because I have used single-shade concealers which work fine. There were no reactions to this product, and I don’t mind recommending this because it works well as a concealer. Also a harder formula meant that I didn’t use up as much concealer as I would with a softer, creamier one (I tend to use up creamier formulas because they’re so comfortable and I get over-excited with spreading it). A harder formula (it’s really not creamy) is difficult to work with, but oddly enough it spreads when warmed up with my fingers and transferred onto my skin. Most concealers I know tend to be a bit creamier, but LM’s Secret Camouflage (or at least the one I have) is really hard. Using it as a eye concealer can result in more caking than smooth application due to the dual shade system.Because you’re using two shades and mixing them, you may end up with a tad bit more concealer than needed, thus resulting in caking.Not entirely sure if the dual blend is necessary – my personal experience with Bobbi Brown’s Blemish Cover Stick was good enough and that was in a single shade.I’m not sure if it’s because I had it for such a long time and never used it however, it still works. Formula is a little bit hard rather than creamy.May seem a bit pricey – RM139.00 for 7.7g of product but I use very little of it.Being able to control and mix your own blend is a great idea, and it blends very well.Covers minor imperfections and old blemish scars pretty well.Let’s whip out the trusty pros and cons list: I use either my fingers or a tiny concealer brush from ELF. The darker side is the undertone, so what I do is pat the undertone on, and then blend the lighter shade on top. You’re probably wondering what’s with the dual-shade concealer, and why are both shades so different? The premise is quite ingenious – a simple two-shade system, one to match the depth of color and one to match the skin’s undertone, so you can control and custom-blend your own concealer. My HG was the Bobbi Brown Blemish Cover Stick in Natural Beige, but being curious and easily bored, I purchased LM’s Secret Camouflage on a whim. As someone who constantly gets blemishes and has slow-fading post-blemish scars, I needed a great concealer.

I bought this a looonnnggg time ago but only got around to using it recently.
