Here are before and after pictures, swatch on the shades and the whole review on\u00a0Pixi Pat Away Concealing Base<\/a> which is a novelty in my webshop!<\/p>\n

Pixi Pat Away Concealing Base has become the new favorite of our makeup artists at the salon! \u201dPixi's new concealer is really SO good!<\/em>Was a standing comment when I came to work after we started putting this to the test :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I got this as a press test before it came to Sweden because I was at Pixi's event (read about it in this post<\/a>) and tested it on my hand on the train on the way home and even then I was impressed with the formula and how nice it turned out on the skin!<\/p>\n

What is the Pixi Pat Away Concealing Base?<\/strong>
\nA creamy, liquid concealer in 3 different shades. The formula is incredibly thick, a thin layer gives a high coverage - which makes this an exemplary concealer on the thin skin under the eyes. The result is a natural and smooth skin with high coverage. Contains protective antioxidants. Long shelf life and lasts from morning to evening.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to find a concealer that provides such good coverage, smoothes the skin (think the pores look smaller where I put this too!) And at the same time gives a natural result that lasts a long time and is easy to apply. All those properties have this concealer! Full pot in other words! :)<\/p>\n

Packaging<\/strong>
\nThe applicator is wide with soft fibers that provide a quick and even coverage both of dark circles under the eyes and in larger areas such as acne scars, blemishes and pigmentation.<\/p>\n

Apply, dab with your fingertip, then it's ready!<\/p>\n

Which shade to choose?<\/strong>
\nA liquid concealer is a good and effective way to lighten up under the eyes, then I recommend choosing a shade that is a little lighter than your own skin tone. But if you want to work more with the covering properties such as make-up over pimples, redness and acne scars, it is better to choose a shade that matches your own skin tone.<\/p>\n

Cream<\/strong>\u00a0suitable for people with very light skin (perfect for people who have difficulty finding sufficiently light concealers)
\nNude<\/strong>\u00a0suits you with light skin with a little warmth.
\nWarm<\/strong>\u00a0suits you with medium light, warm skin or if you have a medium skin tone and want an enlightening concealer under the eyes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Application
\n<\/strong>The principle is simple - just apply and dab with your fingertips! I always recommend fixing all creamy concealers with powder for as lasting a result as possible.<\/p>\n

On blemishes: Put a dab of concealer on the pimple, spread with your finger to make the concealer blend in with the skin. Put a little more concealer right in the middle of the pimple for extra coverage and let it dry. Fix with pillows.<\/p>\n

Lighten up under the eyes: Apply with the applicator and dab with your fingertip. Quick and easy! If you have a lot of depth under the eyes, I just apply concealer (or thicker layer) right where the skin goes inwards, to lighten the depth. For those of you who just want to lighten up to look more alert, you can instead put on a larger area under the eye and go down a bit like a triangle down to the nostril:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Larger, smoother areas such as redness, pigmentation, acne scars: The wide applicator and the incredibly expensive formula make it super easy to use the concealer even on large areas, which I think is worth its weight in gold. Apply with the applicator and spread with your fingertip, so easy!<\/p>\n

Apply before or after foundation?<\/strong>
\nIt is a matter of taste if you like to apply concealer before or after foundation, and also depends a bit on what type of foundation you have.<\/p>\n

I recommend applying the concealer before foundation<\/strong> if you:<\/p>\n
