As we head into 2022 the last thing we all would like to worry about is nailing our makeup. Thankfully, Elizabeth Arden’s Flawless Finish range takes the complexity out of achieving a flawless complexion. With their popular foundation already nourishing the faces of many a woman via its superpowered concoction of skincaring ingredients, Elizabeth Arden are upping the ante by launching the perfect companion product, the new Flawless Finish Skincaring Concealer - which may just prove the antidote to our busy life.
To help us spend more time on the things that really matter, combining our skincare with our makeup routine is an easy way to take back our time. Enriched with some of our favourite skincare heroes - Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C and E, this nourishing concealer not only delivers longwearing buildable coverage, but also leaves skin feeling moisturised while brightening the complexion and concealing those dark circles we all seem to have developed. What’s more, it won’t settle into fine lines, wrinkles or pores, and with 9 diverse shades, there is a concealer for every skin tone.
In the interest of saving time - we know we’re all busy - let’s break it down.
What the heck is this hyaluronic acid I keep hearing about? And why is it in my concealer?
Known as nature’s moisture magnet, hyaluronic acid can hold a thousand times its own weight in water. Our skin naturally produces this hydrating acid, however as we age we produce less of it (much like collagen). Not to mention, things like sun and air-conditioning don't do us any favours, drying out the skin and affecting our natural hyaluronic acid levels. As a result our complexion looks dull and dehydrated which in turn causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear more pronounced.
By including hyaluronic acid in their Flawless Finish Concealer, Elizabeth Arden makes it easy to combat the skin-drying effects of our environment by keeping the skin plump and hydrated while looking flawless.
Vitamin C in my skincare? Can’t I just supplement?
Perhaps best known as a vitamin you ingest to stave off a cold or flu, vitamin C is indeed a powerful skincare ingredient. Known for its antioxidant qualities, vit-C helps accelerate the production of collagen and elastin, enabling our skin to heal itself. It also helps even out skin tone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and pigmentation whilst brightening the complexion. What’s more, it protects against free radicals such as sunlight and pollution, and inhibits our skin’s melanin production, meaning it works to prevent the formation of age spots and minimise the visibility of existing pigmentation. The result? Smoother, brighter and more youthful looking skin.
By harnessing the power of vitamin C, Elizabeth Arden’s Flawless Finish Concealer actively helps diminish dark circles and sun damage while brightening and evening out skin tone.
It’s already in my multivitamin - why should I put Vitamin E on my skin?
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which helps protect from daily environmental aggressors that are known to have a harmful effect on the skin, breaking down the collagen that keeps our skin smooth and bouncy. Additionally, this workhorse vitamin provides moisturising and healing benefits and helps to strengthen our skin barrier function. A natural anti-inflammatory, it soothes and calms the skin.
Our under-eye area requires a gentle touch to keep it hydrated, bright and tight. The inclusion of vitamin E in Elizabeth Arden’s Flawless Finish Concealer helps to protect and condition this delicate area as well as improve the overall quality of our skin.
We like to use the concealer on an almost daily basis under the eye to help us look fresh and rested - the plush, teardrop-shaped applicator makes application super easy.
So go forth and put your best face forward with Elizabeth Arden’s Flawless Finish Skincaring Concealer. For a further boost, combine with the Flawless Finish Skincaring Foundation for the ultimate natural finish.
TIP: select a lighter shade to use as a highlight on your brow bone and in the corner of your eyes. A darker shade can be used as a contour.
