Lorac Pro Conceal/ Contour Palette review and swatches

Is the Lorac Pro Conceal/Contour Palette worth it? Well for me, kind of. I'll tell you why....
lorac pro conceal/contour palette
I use a variety of concealer colors on one face depending on what I am trying to correct so I thought this palette would be fantastic for myself and to use on my clients.

These are cream makeup colors to use for concealing, contouring and highlighting. There 8 colors for concealing and contouring, the top and middle rows. The 4 shimmer highlighting colors row are the bottom.

The shimmers are very subtle. In fact, they are what I like best about the palette.

This palette comes with a nice double ended brush and a how to booklet. I have to say, I love the brush! The bristles are soft and great for blending. One end of the brush is a dome blender brush. It's great for foundation application, too. I have read that people are unhappy that it is too wide to dip into the pans of product. It is wide. I prefer to use the smaller pointed brush on the other end for dipping into the product and applying, then blending with the wide brush. Lorac also has smaller contour kit with six colors that has larger pans that the wide brush does fit in.

The concealer, contour and highlighter review: 

The Concealers

My main concern with a concealer is hiding my dark circles. I find these colors just aren't right for me. The yellow and peach shades look like they would be good but they look kind of chalky on my medium toned beige skin. The concealers have a thick sticky texture. I find them to look dry and cracked making my lines
and creases stand out horrendously!

However, I do find that this concealer sticks well on those hard to cover pimples and other blemishes. So if that's what you need a concealer for, it will work well for you!

I'm still on the hunt for a truly crease proof under eye concealer in the right color. Tarte Shape Tape is pretty great but I would like it in a yellow orange.

The Contouring Colors

I'm not big on contouring on myself. My face is too contoured as it is. I do use some contouring on some of my clients, though. I find the colors to be too light or too dark so it takes a bit of mixing to get the right color. The texture of the contour colors is thinner and creamier than the concealer colors so they go on with more sheer coverage.

The Highlighters

The highlighter creams are light, sheer and subtle. I like the gentle shimmer they give to the cheeks and brow bone. The texture of the highlighters is thin and creamy. 

This palette would probably work better on younger more oily skin. I find using
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil (which I completely love!!!) before applying the Lorac concealer does improve the dry appearance it has on me. 

You can always test this palette out at an Ulta Store to see how it works for you. There are some other palettes available that some people prefer, Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette gets good reviews as well as the NYX Professional Makeup Highlight and Contour Pro Palette.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j
