The video that everyone's been waiting for is here! Finally, I got around to filming how I use my ultimate favorite concealer, Naturactor Cover Face. I'll have you know I'm not very good at editing videos so pardon me if I totally suck at it but don't worry, I'm trying my best to learn. This is also NOT A SPONSORED post so I'm not getting paid for doing this and I bought all my Naturactors with my own moolah. My only motivation here is to help others. If you are perpetually battling acne, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I feel you and I know how difficult it can be at times. Now if you're at a loss and have no idea what I'm saying, then why are you even reading this blog post?

RANT. Seriously, screw all those ads about showing your inner beauty and taking off your makeup. Dude, there's always a right time and place to paint your face! I say wear makeup if you want and don't let anyone stop you. Just make sure to wear the appropriate makeup, you know, day versus evening/night looks. I have makeup-free days during the majority of the week (because I work at home) but when I go out, you can't tell me it's okay and better to go out bare-faced. Hell, you don't know shiite about living in the province where people's noses are up in other people's asses all the time. FACT: People will stare. So make it worth their while! End of rant.

Story of my life.

Whew! Now that we got that out of the way...  let's move on. I've been using Naturactor since late summer of last year (see HERE for my previous step-by-step tutorial) and I still haven't finished my jar/s as you can clearly see in my YouTube video at the end of this blog post. There's really a lot of product in it and I use it very frequently.


Until I get that celebrity skin back (hopefully soon!), this concealer is my BFF for now. I'm all for the nomakeup-makeup look and frankly, you can't really tell I'm wearing makeup most of the time. That is, if you don't know what I look like with my bare face. Tee hee.

I started wearing makeup because I wanted to hide my pimples and consequently have people stop making those nasty remarks about my skin. I have feelings, you know. It's not nice listening to people stating the obvious. SAY NOTHING IF YOU HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY, okay? Anyway, since I learned to cover and conceal all my acne, blemishes and other imperfections, I was able to do so much more. I got my confidence back and my self-esteem is much more improved. I don't have to limit myself and worry about people juding me anymore because, fuck you, I have mad makeup skills and I can come up with a million looks while you're stuck with that one face. So sad to be living in a world like this. But no worries, a little concealing here and there, and you can be as free as a bird!

With no further ado, I present this video on HOW TO COVER AND CONCEAL your acne, blemishes, and other imperfections with Naturactor Cover Face Concealer and Foundation.

This is why I love makeup!

Stay tuned for the announcement of my upcoming birthday giveaway! It's coming up next... Bye for now and thanks for dropping by!

I've been getting a lot of questions about this one so I want to show you guys how I cover up my acne and blemishes using the famous Naturactor Cover Face from Meiko Cosmetics, Inc. in Japan. This is gaining popularity due to celebrities here in the Philippines promoting this product. This concealer-slash-foundation comes in various shades for different skintones but I personally use Naturactor #140 and #171. I have medium to fair skin with yellow undertone.

Naturactor #140 and #171

What is Naturactor Cover Face for?

• To cover pigmentation, scars, blemishes, acne, and eye bags. It covers up my tattoos, too!
• To protect the skin from UV rays which can cause pigmentation.
• To make skin feel soft, smooth, and beautiful.

What it claims...

• Easy to use and non-sticky.
• Holds up to 8-12 hours (case-to-case basis)
• Does not clog pores.
• Used by professional makeup artists.
• Suitable for shows, weddings, photoshoot, etc. for natural and flawless makeup.

Single swipe, amazing coverage by Naturactor

After moisturizing my face, I used a Beauty Blender to apply Naturactor #140 and #171 to my blemishes and acne scars. You can still see some blemishes as I only applied it thinly. If you layer it some more, I believe you can get FULL coverage. IMHO, that is ideal for photoshoots. It really doesn't feel heavy on the face, that much is true.

I used a bronzer to contour my face and for shading because the concealer/foundation makes my face rather white. Maybe I should get Naturactor #151 for shading, huh? Anyway, I'll continue to use this and update this post if I get any breakouts or other undesirable effects. As of now, I'm truly happy with it and it is one of the best purchases I've made as far as beauty is concerned.



OVERALL RATING: 






I can't give it 5 stars because it's not available locally and the cost of buying varies from seller to seller. Have you used Naturactor or are you planning to buy it? Please share your experience with me and if you have any other recommendations or suggestions on how to cover up acne scars and blemishes, do leave a comment below. Thanks for visiting my blog!

P.S. I buy my own products for review and pay for them with hard earned money unless otherwise stated. THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST.

UPDATE!!!

151 is perfect for blemishes!

I realized that the 151 is better at covering up blemishes. So now I'm using the 3 shades. First, I use the green concealer (171) to cover up redness and active acne, then I apply the darker concealer which is the 151 over the acne and blemishes as well as my under eye. I also use it as contour and the 140 I use as a highlighter and put it also over my blemishes. It looks way much better this way. See photo below:
