You may be forgiven for thinking, looking at my rough photo montage below that Stila Cosmetics may have launched a makeup line with Victoria Beckham. They haven’t. However, during her recent interview in the May 2012 issue of Harper's Bazaar, Victoria Beckham shared some of her beauty secrets and declared her love for Stila cosmetics, particularly the brighten and correct concealer and the perfecting concealer. I can't obviously check whether Victoria does indeed carry these on her handbag, but it made me very curious about the products.
So what makes these concealers different?
Brighten and Correct Concealer (£18)
They say: This Multi-purpose under eye brightener, illuminator and correcting concealer in s enriched with Haloxyl, to help to reduce the appearance of dark circles, Zinc which acts as an antioxidant, Magnesium to help maintain the skin’s barrier, Chlorine to maintain mineral concentrations, plus Sodium and Potassium which are key electrolytes. This concealer is swirled with two shades, one for brightening and the other to correct imperfections.
Stila Perfecting Concealer (£15)
They say: This high performance concealer is ideal for covering blemishes, scars, redness, dark circles. It can even be used as a full coverage foundation.
To say that I have not found my holy grail foundation is an understatement and If my local Boots was big enough to store Stila products, I would have been definitely tempted to swatch the perfecting concealer and test it for coverage /cakiness. For now, I'll just have to lust for it.
