Conceal Series - Daintree Tinted Moisturiser

USEFUL FOR: CONCEALING, EVENING, MOISTURISING

Now this product is not necessarily created for concealing, but over repeated use, it has come in handy especially when you just want one product to do it all. The Daintree Tinted Moisturiser is a rare product, hailing from Australia. But more so because it is entirely organic and natural. So if health, and skincare, is one of your major concerns, Daintree products (as well as, The Natural Source) might be brands worth looking into.

The active ingredients in this are Almond Oil (smoothening), Avocado Oil (softening) and Coffee (stimulating). To be honest, it smells quite delicious too. Its pigment is derived from minerals, and is strengthened also by the SPF formulation. There is only one colour option, so this might not work for extremely fair or dark skin.

Application is straightforward, simply apply as most moisturisers. However, since this is a concealer review, the product also has the added bonus of being able to spot conceal after the initial layer. It is suprisingly buildable, and able to achieve close to full coverage through layering.

Effect:

As a moisturiser, the product is excellent. Since it is tinted, natural tendency is to apply thinner layers, so once it is absorbed, the moisturising effect is almost immediate. When your skin is both moisturised and evenly concealed, it is best to rehydrate once every few hours, just to keep it fresh. This can be done discreetly with a small spray.

When going in for spot concealing, a fine brush is always best. But if you have larger areas of dark or discoloured skin, dabbing with the ring finger works just as well. The SPF15 does provide basic sun protection, but if you are out and about under the sun, an SPF50 would be better as a middle layer (apply after base layer, before spot concealing).

The packaging however needs to be improved. It comes in 60ml glass jar with a black screw-on lid. Mine has cracked, and has had to be transferred out into another jar. An open jar is also tough to keep clean. The frequent dipping of fingers is, needless to say, unhygienic. You might want to go at it with a cottonbud instead.

All in all, this product is a winner. It is a time-saver and really effective at moisturising and evening out the complexion. It would have been nice to have a more streamlined packaging. Something small and safe, which would make it easier to travel with as well, but hey, you can't have it all.
