TUESDAY REVIEWDAY: San San HD High Definition Concealer Review

Every beauty junkie has their own holy grail concealer. I don't really have a favorite, but when I tried the San San HD High Definition Concealer, I was instantly blown away with its coverage and staying power.

Concealers are great for covering under eye darkness and skin imperfections like freckles, pimple marks, and blemishes. They can also replace foundation when a person is too lazy.

I was reluctant to try this since it's another one of those cheap concealers. I've heard of this, and it pushed me to buy it. There are no testers from where I bought it, so I chose the shade Natural since the shade Beige looks darker on my skin tone.

Description: 

San San HD Concealer

Vitamins A, C, E. SPF 15

• Excellent coverage for skin imperfections
• Formulated with Vitamins A, C, E, &  SPF 15 for a healthier and naturally radiant skin.
• With high-precision applicator to achieve a picture-perfect look

Caution: Do not stay too long under the sun, even while using a product with sunscreen. Keep out of reach of children. For external use only.

Made in P.R.O.C.

   I like the shiny purple packaging. It's simple yet elegant. The applicator is a brush made of nylon. To dispense the product, you must twist it and brush it onto your skin. I love the packaging because I find it very convenient and handy.

The consistency is very thick and it quickly dried matte on my skin. The shade appears too light on my arm.

I actually thought it was dry, but it was blendable. I find the concealer easily blendable and matte with a powdery finish. At first, it was too light, but it toned down when blended.

I was amazed at this since I tried to wash it off, but it stayed. The next morning, I can still spot the concealer on my arm. I used baby oil to remove the residue.

So I believe this will not transfer easily. Oil-based products will be your option when removing it.

Now, let's test it on my face.

   
The photo on the left has no concealer. The photo on the right has concealer, blended and set with loose powder. It 

Coincidentally, I have this pimple on my nose. I'm not happy about it, but I'll take the opportunity to test the concealing power.

   

Sadly, I can still see it but it's not too obvious anymore. I tried to layer more product, but it didn't look okay. The concealer started to settle on my nose pores. I tried to spread it, but I can't do anything about the product on my pores. I set the concealer with Nichido Final Powder.

   
4 hours later, the concealer still looks good. Though the nose area doesn't look too well. My nose became oily, and the concealer is still present but some settled on my nose pores. When I rubbed the product, it spread but the product on my nose pores are slightly visible.

The concealer on my under eye still looks good, though. There is a minor creasing, but it's barely noticeable.

9 hours later.

9 hours later, it looks the same. I didn't blot or retouch, so the product on my nose has somehow faded. (I forgot to document that part..) I didn't notice any product settling on my nose pore anymore, but my nose is very oily.

It's a normal situation; what I'm impressed is how it still covered some redness even if I rubbed it.

Overall, I love the concealer. It stayed on until the end of the day, and the coverage is wonderful. It's great for my undereye, and the shade fits me fine. It's blendable, and the packaging is convenient. Plus, it has vitamins!

I would rate this 7/10.

The only problem I had with this is the creasing part, and it tends to get too dry and hard to blend. It even settled on my nose pores, which is annoying. The shade is also slightly too light for me.

San San HD High Definition Concealer is available at HBC outlets at Robinsons Department stores and Puregold branches nationwide. It retails at 123 pesos.
