I selected shade 2 (SC-2), which contains a yellow shade and a peach shade that can be mixed or used separately.
How I use it
Secret Camouflage has a learning curve - the first handful of times I used this concealer after buying, I was thinking about returning it. I apply using my fingers to warm up the product to blend it into my skin. I use both shades together to match my skintone, and I use the yellow separately if I am covering redness or acne. I prefer patting motions to blend this into my skin and build up coverage with thin layers.
Swatches
As always, swatches are on bare, unprimed skin. I built up swatches to their practical maximum to show the color accurately. I highly recommend using this product in thin layers in actual practice.
I think the shade SC-2 isn't quite right for me, but the shade SC-1 lacked the yellow color correcting shade I was looking for, so I selected the darker SC-2. I mostly use this for color correcting and concealing acne and post acne pigmentation, so I can make it work, but isn't ideal.
Pros
- Excellent coverage
- Excellent longevity
- Very good product for covering acne, pigmentation, and other discoloration
- Can mix the shades
- Nice and practical packaging, mirror is functional
- Harder, waxier consistency than many concealers on the market
- Application takes a little extra TLC (but can look 100% invisible on the skin with practiced application!)
- Not suitable for dry or crepey under eyes
- Shade selection won't work for everyone (SC-2 is a bit dark for me)
