NEW! Beautycounter Skin Twin Creamy Concealer/Foundation (Honest Review & Demo)
hey guys welcome back it’s kate so today i
am very excited to talk to you about the new
skin twin creamy concealer from beauty counter
it just released a couple days ago and it is safe
to say that i’m obsessed with it so i have been
using beauty counter for the past two months or so
and have really loved everything that i’ve tried
truly but the skin twin line is without a doubt
my favorite thing so the skin twin foundation is i
think fairly new like i said i’ve only been using
it for a few months so i’m not sure but i’m pretty
sure it’s just been released within the past six
months or so and so they used to have the touch-up
concealer pen which i loved but this has a lot
more coverage and it’s a lot more long wearing
which is great it also has an extended shade range
which is always amazing because we gotta make
sure that everybody can have the goodness right
so i thought i’ll go ahead and do my face with
it let me see what it looks like and give you
some of my thoughts okay so to prep my skin
i’m gonna use the adaptive moisture lotion
which i’ve been loving
primer and my moisturizer which is nice because it
saves me a step you know but i’ve just noticed
that when i wear this moisturizer as opposed to
you know i’ve got a couple different ones that
i will rotate but the makeup plays really really
well on top of this moisturizer in particular
and i think that’s because you’ll notice when you
put it on it’s a little bit tacky to the
touch which i like because it gives the
makeup something to really grip onto um so i’m
a big fan of that and i just noticed that the
makeup lasts longer and it just stays you know
really on the skin better than if i don’t use it
okay so the foundation first thing i like to
do before i even apply the foundation and this
is just me being kind of extra and weird but i
like to take the hollywood flawless filter from
charlotte tilbury and i’m just gonna apply
a little bit high up on my cheekbones i like
doing this with any foundation but just because
it kind of gives your skin a little bit of a glow
underneath the foundation it keeps your skin from
looking too dry or too sort of flat you know it
just gives it a little bit of a glow underneath
without looking greasy or shiny or anything like
that so i’m just gonna tap that high up on the
cheekbones and then whatever’s left on my fingers
i will take down the center of my face okay now
let’s actually put the foundation on okay so this
is skin twin feather weight foundation right here
what i do with my brush there she is okay so i’m
obsessed with this foundation and i’ll tell you
why i’m gonna apply it on the back of my hand just
like i apply any foundation it is full coverage
like it definitely gives you full coverage but it
feels so lightweight hence the name featherweight
skin twin it’s supposed to feel like a second skin
and it really does i’m not a fan of foundations
where it feels very very heavy on the skin
um i just i don’t want to feel like i’m wearing
a you know cakey layer of makeup it just doesn’t
feel good um and so i love the fact that this
is giving me all the coverage i want and need
without that heavy feeling that for me is the
biggest selling point okay so what i’ve been doing
lately when i apply my foundation is i kind of
get it on there blend it out a little bit and then
i’m gonna grab my setting spray this one is by
morphe you can use any setting spray and i’m gonna
spray the heck out of my face and now i will
continue blending the reason i do that i got
that little trick off of um where did i get it oh
i’m blanking it’s like a really famous youtuber
i’m blanking okay i’ll put it in the description
somewhere but anyhow um if you spray the setting
spray onto your foundation before blending it
and then blend it with the setting spray it works
even better because apparently setting sprays are
meant to be used in conjunction with products and
not just on top of them so who knew another thing
that i will do if i really need my makeup to stay
in place all day long is keep the foundation on
spray spray spray and then i will even spray a
little bit onto my foundation brush while i’m
blending and it like it is going to lock that
foundation on your skin and this is especially
important right now since we are all wearing the
mask and there’s nothing grosser than taking
off that mask and it’s like covered with just
foundation and makeup it’s just not cute so
give that little trick a try because it is like
magic okay so this foundation blends like a
dream it blends out so nicely um i’m gonna try
to get it close so you can see it gives the skin
a really pretty natural finish so it dries down
matte but i do like to top it off with a little
bit of a mattifying powder that’s just kind of
my preference you don’t have to um but i really
like to i feel like it adds to the longevity of it
and i just it gets rid of a little bit of the
shine that i naturally have because i’ve got
oily skin so such a pretty finish
on it does not clog the pores and
you don’t have to worry that you’re putting
harmful ingredients all over your skin you know
i don’t have to freak out if my daughter you know
plays in this makeup or gets it all over herself
you know i might freak out for other reasons but
i don’t have to freak out and worry that she’s
putting harmful you know ingredients all over her
okay such a gorgeous foundation now let’s get into
the concealer so i got two different shades of
the concealer there’s the other one there it is
i got fair two which is the second to lightest
and then i got dark one and i got this one to
do a little bit of contouring with because i
love to contour with concealer so let’s just hop
into it i’m going to apply it just like i do any
concealer which is i do it on the side of the nose
and then high up here the reason i do it this way
i put some of my eyelids is because i don’t like
to put concealer directly underneath the eye area
right there because as we all know that skin right
there is so paper thin it will start to crease
and settle into all of those little fine lines
so by placing it up here and on the side of
the nose where the skin’s a little bit thicker
you’re not going to get that um you’re not going
to have that issue so that’s why i do it that
way i’m first going to start off by taking a flat
synthetic concealer brush and do a little bit of
pre-blending which i know you’re probably
rolling your eyes because what the heck
is pre-blending but it’s really just warming
the concealer up on your skin before going in
in like heavy duty blending it it actually
saves you a little bit of time because you’re
not spending as much time blending it i’m just
it’s just warming it up basically it’s nothing
it’s nothing crazy okay so can you see how
well this is covered up the under eye area it
is a hundred percent more coverage than the
touch-up concealer pen which i still loved
um but this is like it’s giving you all the
coverage that you need definitely covers those
dark circles discoloration up in a
heartbeat it would be great if you have got
any type of discoloration on the skin a breakout
this is going to be what you want to reach for
because it is going to cover cover the other
thing that i find amazing about it is i used it
yesterday i put it on at about 9am and then
i completely forgot to set the under eye area
which is normally like a fatal mistake
i mean if i do that it’s going to be
it’s not going to be cute and when i looked in the
mirror at i don’t know like 4 p.m it still looked
fresh as a freaking daisy like 4 p.m it still
looked fresh as a freaking daisy so to me that is
a game changer um it just the fact that it kind of
is self-setting is incredible okay with that said
i am going to do a little bit of setting powder
because that’s just my way that’s what i like
to do so i’m going to take the mattifying powder
and just a very small amount you don’t need a lot
i think sometimes especially you know when we’re
over the age of like 35 it’s probably better just
to use less powder than more powder can be really
aging on the skin and it definitely doesn’t do our
skin any favors so just go light handed you don’t
need to apply it with a sponge you don’t need to
you know bake it all over your face just gently
tap it and just those areas where you feel like
you tend to get oily so i’m not putting the powder
all over my face i’m just doing underneath the eye
area and then in the t-zone so just those areas
where i tend to get oily if you have drier skin
then maybe all you need to do is set the under
eye area um if you have super oily skin maybe
you need to set you know your whole face just
it you know sort of base it off of your skin
okay so this is i’ve now got everything on the
foundation concealer all of that good stuff
and obviously i haven’t done bronzer or blush or
my eyes or anything but i just wanted you to see
just what this looks like and what a gorgeous
finish it gives on the skin it looks skin like
but just like your skin is flawless basically it
gives you a really gorgeous lip from within glow
that is not code for greasy or shiny
though it really just does make your skin
glow i can’t think of a better word for it it
is i just i love it so much i really really do
my only complaint about it is i wish there was
a wider shade range you know i really think
makeup companies need to be inclusive because you
know just having 12 13 shades just isn’t enough
um so that would be my biggest complaint on it is
that they just they need to be more inclusive with
shades so other than that i am a huge
huge fan love it so i’m gonna pop off
do some bronzer do a little bit of blush and
then i’ll jump back on so you can see kind of the
hey guys okay so i jumped off i did a
little bit of bronzer a little blush and
highlight some eye and this is the finished
look just a quick side note because i am
now obsessed with this but the eyeshadow the
blush the highlight is all from the new golden
hour palette which is part of the limited
like holiday releases from beauty counter and
this and this together well and separate but
especially together incredible like maybe my most
favorite blush highlighter combo that i’ve ever
tried and that is saying something so recommend
definitely recommend but okay anyhow back to the
point so love love love the new skin twin creamy
concealer and it plays so well with the skin
twin foundation which obviously should they’re
meant to go together but sometimes foundations and
concealers don’t always play well together um and
these two definitely do so i cannot recommend
them enough they are incredible i love the
finished look they give if you need any help with
color matching or have questions just leave them
down below i’m happy to help and i hope that this
video was helpful i’ll see you guys the next one
