Catrice Cosmetics True Skin High Cover Concealer 18h hydrating Waterproof MakeUp (032 Neutral Biscuit)

Product Information

So as you can read here I wasn’t too happy with the Catrice True Skin foundation when I first tried it. But I saw this product getting so much hype that I decided to try it again when the brand didn’t launch any new complexion products in their most recent update. I felt I was missing out, bought a different shade and decided to try again! Here’s how that went. If your search for the perfect foundation has led you down a winding, detour-heavy road, you’re not alone. Think about this: If the average woman changes her job seven times, just imagine how many foundations she tries out before committing to one that’s just…okay. We’re here to tell you that you don’t have to settle. But, you may have to rethink your approach to finding the right fit. Catrice True Skin High Cover Concealer (4.5ml) is a high-coverage, moisturising concealer that disguises imperfections with a natural, soft matte finish. The waterproof formula practically melts into the skin without settling into the fine lines, yet still hides dark under-eye circles, blemishes and redness perfectly.

Already when I first swatched this shade, I felt it was a much better fit. I feel this version also feels a little less dry? I am not entirely sure, but my main problem with the original bottle I tried was that I had some good makeup days and some not so great ones as the foundation looked dry and cakey. I now feel it was mainly down to the shade and not so much the actual texture of the foundation. Because the shade was off it may not have looked the best to begin with. If you want to know how I feel about this foundation trying it again a year later, then please scroll to the end of the blog post where I have written my update after trying a new shade in 2021! Review: Catrice True Skin Hydrating Foundation 002 Neutral Ivory The Catrice True Skin High Cover Concealer provides longlasting coverage for dark circles, redness, fine lines & blemishes. The waterproof, lightweight formula essentially melts into skin for a natural, matte finish without settling into fine lines​. Additionally, it contains Hyaluronic acid to moisturize skin and provide 18-hour hydration. INGREDIENTS: AQUA (WATER), ISODODECANE, TALC, COCO-CAPRYLATE, HYDROGENATED TETRADECENYL/METHYLPENTADECENE, TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE, CETYL PEG/PPG-10/1 DIMETHICONE, PROPANEDIOL, DIMETHICONE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, PEG-10 DIMETHICONE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, CITRULLUS LANATUS (WATERMELON) SEED OIL, TOCOPHEROL, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE, DIMETHICONOL STEARATE, HEXYLENE GLYCOL, ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE).Apart from a swatch, we of course need to see what the coverage is actually like. With just 3/4 of a pump I am able to cover my entire face. As you can see I have quite a bit of redness in my skin and the foundation has no issues covering that up. It is very lightweight and blendable but it takes a bit of effort to get this foundation to look smooth and even on the skin. I do find that well-moisturized skin is needed if you have dry skin like mine to make this foundation look good. It looks best on very plump looking skin: I don’t think this foundation is as hydrating as it claims to be. What is the shade match like? I think you can also clearly see how much better this looks in this side by side look. As you can see the foundation looks much more natural and less makeuppy simply because the shade is much better. Now if I have to give it one more critique it would be that this shade is a touch too yellow for my skin tone but again, with the rest of my makeup done it looks barely noticeable. As I wore this for a full week straight I never found this too look cakey like I did with the previous one either. So either my skin is less dry this time round (I tried the previous one in October too) or simply the fact that the shade is better makes it so much easier to pull it off. Please note that Royal Mail currently classes perfumes, nail polishes, flammable liquids and aerosols as "hazardous materials" and will only accept a limited number of these per parcel. So I said this comes with claims, let’s go over them. This is supposed to be a lightweight, hydrating foundation with hyaluronic acid and watermelon seed extract. It should combat redness and smooth out your skin tone evenly while giving a radiant matte finish. Coverage should be medium to buildable full coverage while not looking makeuppy and cakey and feeling comfortable on the skin. Which claims does this foundation make good on? Definitely on the comfort, finish and coverage. Not so much on the hydrating and natural looking finish. How does this foundation swatch?

So this concealer is part of the new Catrice True Skin line that had me super exciting. Sadly the foundation didn’t end up beating my all time favorite Catrice foundation and also this concealer has not made it to my top favorites list. Its price point is not the issue: this concealer retails for €3.99 and is therefore super affordable. There are 15 shades in total, but like with the foundation, only a handful of shades are available where I live. In The Netherlands only 5 shades are available in stores, so again you’d have to go online to find any of the deeper shades. What does this concealer have to offer?
