Unboxing the Giant PR Package

The Too Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer arrived in a truly massive PR package. It was so large that I initially thought it contained a foundation instead of concealer. This generous package contained every shade of the new concealer line, a true treat for a beauty enthusiast like myself. The sheer size of the package was impressive compared to other concealers I own; it made for a fantastic unboxing experience.

Shade Range Analysis

Upon examining the shade range, I noticed that a majority leaned towards lighter skin tones. The deeper shades are limited in variety, which is somewhat surprising considering Too Faced recently expanded its Born This Way Foundation line to include a wider range of deeper shades. While the darkest shade, Cocoa, might work for very deep skin tones, the overall range appears skewed towards lighter complexions. I’ll be swatching all shades on my skin to provide a clearer picture.

Concealer Swatches

Here are the swatches of each shade, applied to my cheek for accurate color representation. This allows for better judgment of how the shades appear on actual skin compared to just looking at the packaging. I've grouped the shades into categories based on skin tone: light, medium, medium-deep, and deep. Remember, individual experiences may vary depending on your undertone and skin tone.

First Impression Test & Comparison

For a quick test, I used Light Beige, Warm Beige, and Chestnut to conceal, highlight, and contour. The full coverage was immediately apparent. The creamy formula blended beautifully and felt comfortable on my skin. The large applicator makes application easy and efficient. Light Beige worked well as a highlighter, providing a brightening effect under the eyes. However, Chestnut proved too dark for contouring; I had better results using Honey for contouring my nose. The concealer performs impressively as a foundation replacement due to its buildable coverage and hydrating qualities.

Final Verdict

The Too Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer offers impressive full coverage and a creamy, hydrating formula. The large applicator is a plus, simplifying application. While the shade range is a little lacking in the deeper end of the spectrum, many shades cater to various skin tones. The concealer functions effectively as a concealer, highlighter, and contour product, though contouring with this specific product might require practice to find your perfect shade. Overall, this is a high-quality product that's worth considering, but understanding the shade limitations is important before purchasing.
