So as you can read here I wasn’t too happy with the Catrice True Skin foundation when I first tried it. But I saw this product getting so much hype that I decided to try it again when the brand didn’t launch any new complexion products in their most recent update. I felt I was missing out, bought a different shade and decided to try again! Here’s how that went.

What tone of jewelery do you look best in?

So this concealer is part of the new Catrice True Skin line that had me super exciting. Sadly the foundation didn’t end up beating my all time favorite Catrice foundation and also this concealer has not made it to my top favorites list. Its price point is not the issue: this concealer retails for €3.99 and is therefore super affordable. There are 15 shades in total, but like with the foundation, only a handful of shades are available where I live. In The Netherlands only 5 shades are available in stores, so again you’d have to go online to find any of the deeper shades. What does this concealer have to offer? Hyaluronic Acid moisturises the skin for up to 18 hours, combining excellent anti-spot coverage with a lightweight texture and prime care. The concealer doesn’t leave a mask-like effect, but instead a natural finish that is suitable for normal and dry skin, and comes in a range of different shades. Free from oils, parabens and gluten. Cruelty-free & vegan-friendly. If your search for the perfect foundation has led you down a winding, detour-heavy road, you’re not alone. Think about this: If the average woman changes her job seven times, just imagine how many foundations she tries out before committing to one that’s just…okay. We’re here to tell you that you don’t have to settle. But, you may have to rethink your approach to finding the right fit.

The Catrice True Skin foundation is one with a lot of promises. The price point is of course on point as is always the case with Catrice products: just €6.99 is what this puppy will cost you. Catrice isn’t a brand known for its shade range but this is available in 21 shades in total. You may have to go online for that though. Here in The Netherlands the shades available have been slimmed down drastically as we only get a whooping 6 shades: all of them super light. When will Catrice learn? They have 21 shades but then don’t make them widely available: what’s up with that? What does this foundation have to offer?

When it comes to finding the right foundation for your skin, working with your skin type is key, before even swatching any colors. “If your skin is dry and you apply a matte foundation, not only will it not lay on the skin properly but it can also enhance any dry patches and make the skin look flaky,” says Robert Sesnek, celebrity makeup artist. He recommends working with your skin type, not against it. That means one the best foundation tips is choosing formulas with your desired skin benefit in mind. Have dry skin? Go for a moisturizing formula enriched with ingredients like hyaluronic acid such as Catrice True Skin Hydrating Foundation. If your skin is oily, you’ll get great results from a matte finish, oil-free formula like Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation. Sensek favors hydrating varieties for normal to dry skin types and a matte/satin finish formula for those with oily skin types so that there’s less upkeep needed throughout the day.

Pro tip: “Never match your foundation to your concealer,” says Sensek. According to him, under the eyes and highlight points should always be one shade lighter, to brighten and highlight. I think you can also clearly see how much better this looks in this side by side look. As you can see the foundation looks much more natural and less makeuppy simply because the shade is much better. Now if I have to give it one more critique it would be that this shade is a touch too yellow for my skin tone but again, with the rest of my makeup done it looks barely noticeable. As I wore this for a full week straight I never found this too look cakey like I did with the previous one either. So either my skin is less dry this time round (I tried the previous one in October too) or simply the fact that the shade is better makes it so much easier to pull it off.Whenever Catrice launches new based products I always want to try them, but alas the new True Skin line is not one that is right for me. The concealer is too dry and emphasizes texture like there is no tomorrow. I like the shade this has and wished that the foundation would be this exact shade. This looks okay going on at first, but up close and after a few hours of wear this easily breaks up and it is not worth it for me. Would I recommend the Catrice True Skin concealer? If you weren’t convinced yet that this concealer isn’t the best for dry skin types, you can see what this looks like on my under eye. Above is my eye without any product. Then we have the concealer going on, and then we have it blended out. You can see where the concealer latches on to drier areas quite easily. Additionally this concealer ended up pulling into the lines around my eyes very easily. It emphasizes my crows feet as well as the lines under my eye. I can easily blend them in again with a finger, but this concealer just isn’t very long lasting on me. My final thoughts
