Here’s what NW30 (used as an under-eye concealer) as well as NC42 (worn on my cheeks as well as around my nose as well as my mouth as a foundation) appears like after applying it very first thing in the morning. I’m not using any type of setting powder, either, just the concealer on its own. (I am using blush, highlighter as well as bronzer on my cheeks, though.)
The concealer after 6 hours…
After 11 hours…
Wearing this, the dry parts of my combo skin, particularly the areas under my eyes as well as around my mouth, look even drier than typical IMO, as well as the longer I wear studio Waterweight, the worse those dry areas look. They ended up being patchier, flakier as well as look much more uneven. as well as layering a powder on top seems to intensify the effect.
3. works well in concealer cocktails
I haven’t been reaching for this to wear on its own since of the dry skin issue; however, I like exactly how it mixes with liquid foundation, tinted moisturizer, as well as even deal with moisturizers, which I’ve been doing to bump up the protection as well as moisture. It does seem to be less drying when I’ve mixed it with something else, as well as it still adds sufficient protection without feeling or looking heavy.
