Correct & Conceal – ReCover

Everyone suffers from an uneven skin tone at one point or another, it's completely inevitable, but that doesn't mean that it can't knock your confidence. We here at The Amazing Blog fully understand the struggle and toll an uneven skin tone can have on your self-esteem, so we've decided to let you in on our little blemish secret; ReCover. ReCover's Correct & Conceal is our must have product for red skin as it instantly corrects and conceals uneven and red tones.

The Correct & Conceal uses yellow-toned pigments to cover facial redness seamlessly. The product is thin but packed with pigment, making it untraceable and leaving you with an even finish. The benefits of this product are seemingly endless, with promises to conceal thread veins, disguise flushing, tone down sunburn and neutralise high colour.The product comes in an array of shades, from Very Light through to Deep Tan. The diversity in this range is one of the reasons that the product is so perfect, and we love that if you are unsure of which colour will suit your skin tone best, you can purchase a discovery pack with three potential shades. What’s more, their products are free from parabens, sulphates, fragrance, propylene glycol and animal-derived raw ingredients. 

The founder of ReCover, Annabel Jardella, is an expert makeup artist who has spent 25 years working on films such as Sense & Sensibility and Gladiator and teaching at the UK's leading makeup academy. In fact, Annabel learnt how to perform camouflage makeup after a cooking accident scarred her feet at the age of 16. It is, therefore, no wonder the product is so effective at colour correcting in a natural way. This product is easy to use at home or on the go, without having to rely on the thicker and heavier concealing products previously on the market.

Get Beautiful Skin with Dr. Brandt's CC Mat Cream

The double lettered phenomenon. BB, CC, DD… I promise we’re not talking bra sizes! When we, at The Amazing Blog, were sent the Dr. Brandt CC Mat, we were really excited to try it out after hearing so much about this type of cream, and it did not disappoint.

CC Mat is a new addition to Dr. Brandt’s Pores No More collection and is developed to treat, protect and mattify the skin, while leaving it feeling fresh throughout the day. The CC stands for Colour Correcting, meaning it covers skin imperfections and evens out the skin tone. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E and C, it will moisture and brighten the skin, decrease pigmentation and decrease photo ageing on the long run.

It is an oil-free cream, specially targeted to oily/combination skins. It does a good job leaving the skin shine free throughout the day, even during these very humid days in London. The cream has a matte finish which is great for preventing that mid-afternoon oily shine on the t-zone. The coverage of the CC cream is light, so it does not feel heavy or cakey on the skin, making it perfect for that summer ‘no-make up look’.

As it contains SPF 30 PA +++, this is perfect for days at the beach, when you need protection from the sun, but want to enhance your skin while still looking natural. Whilst this cream is not the cheapest on the market, retailing at £34 from the Feel Unique website, it is really effective with an amazing finish leaving my skin looking beautiful. That, in my opinion, is well worth every penny.
