Kanebo Sensai Triple Touch Compact Concealer review
The Hype
Kanebo Sensai Triple Touch Compact concealer is a triple action product with a twin concealer and moist powder finish. Available in three shades it’s designed to hydrate skin whilst giving flawless coverage. The compact is very unique in that it combines a clear concealer, with a traditional cream colour concealer and pressed powder to add a moisturising finish.
The Lowdown
When I was sent some information about this product I was instantly intrigued. Not many concealers are white, so to have a multi-purpose product with a white concealer designed to target fine lines and wrinkles was very new to me. It was a interesting concept, although I was a little sceptical if it would work having tried many anti-ageing products that didn’t really have any effect.
The white concealer I have to say was very underwhelming. Whilst it is marketed as a colourless concealer it is effectively a primer. The silky cream doesn’t crease and goes on smoothly but really does nothing for my fine lines or wrinkles. If I’m honest I was wondering how a clear concealer could have any effect on reducing the apperance of imperfections and it appears I was unfortunately proven right. This aspect really doesn’t work for me. The traditional concealer does work well in concealing the redness under my eye and has light reflecting properties. The powder finishes the look with an matte effect but it just made the darkness in my eye show through which was quite offputting. After using the products I finished my look with foundation and a normal powder. Under my normal makeup the concealer works a lot better and seems to be more of a colour match then it is worn on its own.
At £30.69 Kanebo Sensai Triple Touch Compact is not a cheap concealer and whilst it looks fine under foundation it doesn’t really do anything more then a typical (much cheaper) concealer can do. I would probably give this one a miss.
I give it:
The Kanebo Sensai Triple Touch Compact is no longer widely available, however you may be able to find it on Ebay or Amazon.
