EX1 Cosmetics Delete Fluide Concealer 1.0

Really flawless concealer, feels light and smooth on skin, wonderful when paired with the foundation.

I bought this concealer because I used it years ago and I remember liking it... I'm pretty sure it must have changed, or maybe I have. I think I might have gotten a lighter shade before than 1.0, as I got 1.0 and it is VERY, VERY yellow. I know EX1 is aimed at olive complexions, but olive is a hard thing to define... I have very fair, desaturated skin and can use most products for fair and cool/desat olives, this is not that. 90% of products will lean too saturated, orange, pink or yellow on me, and that's the nature of fair olive (and cool olive) skin, a tone woefully underrepresented in cosmetics... and even EX1 as it seems! Either way, this seems far too yellow saturated for a product aimed at olive tones for (many but not all) olive skin tones, so depending on your tone exercise caution. Secondly, it doesn't play well with other products. I have redness and like to layer concealer on problem patches, this a) was too yellow for my foundation match, 2) was thick as anything, 3) lifted my foundation (not an issue with my normal concealer) and did not play amazingly with powder. Not a fan. A further concern was the pump on this product. It took a lot of work to get the pump working, and it doesn't work great - a bit frustrating, especially if the colour and product works for you.

ok

Probably one of the best concealers I’ve used blends well and has good coverage. Not sure if the product has changed though as this was quite a thick constancy which was great but when I bought one from the high street that one was rubbish and like water.

Works well, easy to apply

I LOVE this concealer! It's the perfect formulation in my opinion: VERY creamy and highly pigmented, giving full coverage! A small 1/2 pump (a difficult, but sometimes doable task!) on the back of my hand will cover my sun spots, blemishes and my undereye discoloration. I'm in my 40s, so yes, that is a LOT of covering to do! I MUST ADD: I NEARLY didn't even get to TRY this product upon receiving it! What a SHAME that would have been. It comes in a small glass bottle with a makeup pump attached. When I unwrapped the bubble wrap, the fluid was completely separated into 'liquid' and color. I shook it for awhile and attempted to pump a tiny bit on the back of my hand. I ended up with a small pool of clear liquid. Back to shaking. Again, fluid! Next time I shook it for a full 5 minutes, lightly hitting the bottom of the bottle on my palm. Doesn't sound like much, but 5 min of nonstop shaking is a good arm workout! Once properly mixed, it is wonderful.

Perfect for people who are Irish level pale with olive undertones! After years of searching, I finally have a real color match instead of "pretty close". It goes on smoothly with a beauty blender for layerable coverage. Feels light on the skin. Will definitely buy again.
