Even when I got liberal with the layering, the product didn't cake or pile. I used G1 to cover my dark spots and acne scars, then used G2 for my dark under-eye circles. The Concealer is probably my favorite out of the two. Matte foundations tend to dry me out, and this went on like a tinted face oil. especially since the formula has glycerin and diamond powder. But once I applied the Skin Tint in G1, my skin felt so hydrated. Keep in mind, my skin was a wreck from my cabin air overexposure. With her tips in mind, I applied both products after using a bit of primer. "Focus on the center of the face so you don’t lose the glow factor on the highest points," Isadare instructs. If you prefer to set your work with powder (the brand has a great one), that's fine, too. The heat from your fingertips warms up the product to make for seamless blending. Isadare's favorite way to apply is with her ring or middle finger, she notes, as it applies the perfect amount of pressure. Same rule applies for the concealer, which is surprisingly super malleable unlike other potted formulas. "If it starts to get streaky, try doing some final touches with a sponge." "I think using your hands is a great way to apply the product to the skin," she suggests. Prep your skin however you like (she recommends a serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen), and you’re ready to apply. The point of differentiation here is that these products are almost like the final step of a skincare routine, Isadare says. Glossier doesn't try to shortchange its customers into thinking that this is some sort of heavy foundation. I had just gotten off of a plane only hours ago, where my hour and a half flight was extended to almost six thanks to bad weather. However, there are some days where I crave full coverage, like, for example, when I tested both products. Now, again, I'm all for putting skin first. Indeed, another point of concern regarding the old formula (and one of my personal ones) was the texture of the formula. "What’s unique about these products, because of the super sheer payoff, is that they’re designed to cater to depth while still stretching across multiple undertones." "As a makeup artist, I’m really familiar with working with a wide range of complexions and undertones," Isadare tells The Zoe Report exclusively. Makeup artist Fatimot Isadare and Kym Davis, Glossier's Head of Product Development, worked to make sure that the hues looked good on a variety of customers. 12 may not seem impressive compared to, say, 40, but don't be dismayed. Now, both products come in 12 shades, from G1 to G12. Skin Tint and Stretch Concealer were only available in five shades, respectively: Light, Medium, Dark, Deep, and Rich. But now that Glossier expanded the shade ranges for both products, I can proudly wear a full face of the line, from the time I moisturize to my final step of my makeup routine, which is always highlighter. And personally, I don't have the patience to mix, match, and combine different formulas. Both, previously available in just five shades, were way too light for me (I tried Rich). The brand's Perfecting Skin Tint and Stretch Concealer, sadly, are two products that I didn't really get a chance to know and love. But as someone who's prone to spend most of her free time masking rather than putting on makeup, the brand's "Skin First, Makeup Second" ethos is one that I dearly appreciate. Give me anything millennial pink and bubble wrapped, and you've got my heart. Glossier has a very special place in my heart - and on my vanity - for a number of reasons.
