Review: A Miracle an Apothéke Colour Corrector creates!

Was chatting with my colleague one day & she raised the problem of having a hard time concealing red spots on her face. Then, I suddenly recalled another colleague of mine complimenting on the colour corrector I uses to reduce redness on my face and thus recommended to her. This inspired me to do up a review on this product since I've been using it for more than 6 months and working great on me. Good things must share! :D

First of all, let me introduce you the Mineral Colour Corrector from Apothéke.    

They come in small & big sizes!

Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxifr, Magnesium Stearate, Kaolin Clay, Rice Powder, Mica, Iron oxides, Allantoin

They are all mineral ingredients which contain no chemicals and thus won't harm your skin.

Next, let me show you how miracle this corrector can be. As much as I do not wish to show all of you my bare and scarred face, I had to do so to show the result of this corrector. :(

My scarred face :(

To use the corrector, you can choose to use a concealer brush, or you can use a compact sponge like I did. This corrector is powder-based.

It's greenish and powder-based.

I used a compact sponge instead of concealer brush.

Dap just a bit of the corrector powder onto your brush/sponge and apply at the area of your face where the redness are. DO NOT RUB against your face but pat it slowly against your face. As I said, it's greenish in colour so do not expect it to look just like a concealer where it will blend with your skin colour, IT WON'T. It's meant to reduce the redness on your face ONLY.

When done, the redness on your face should be pretty much reduced and look like this:

If you noticed, you can still see some redness even after the corrector has been applied. Well, it's normal. This colour corrector does not act as a concealer so do not expect it to be one. I have to be thankful enough that it reduces my redness greatly! After your preferred concealer has been applied, it should look like this (I applied my mineral foundation from Apothéke on it too):

There! There are almost no redness shown on my face after that! It's like a miracle!

This colour corrector works a wonder on me and that's why I felt that I should post just what kind of wonder it worked on me. Been using both its foundation powder, mineral veil and colour corrector since last December and I have no regrets since. It literally nursed my damaged skin back to shape (my acne issue was really bad quite a while ago) with its mineral ingredients mainly Kaolin Clay & I really love these products to bits! 

Pop over to Apothéke if you think you wish to reduce most of the redness on your face which is bothering you greatly. :)

Mineral Makeup Review - Apothéke

It has been more than a week since i started using Mineral Makeup from Apothéke and so far, it’s working quite well for me.

How well was it working for me then? Hmm…I will say, my face doesn’t itch that much anymore, i feel my face breathing more freely now and not to mention my face is less oily, even after long hours!

This photo was taken 5hrs after i set my mineral makeup on it - the foundation & mineral veil, both loose powders. I did not re-touch up my face at all after my 1st application in the morning so you can see the difference! Previously when i was using L’oreal makeups, i will often get oily skin all over my face after a few hours and now, i worry less for my face in terms of oil surfacing, hehe :)

TIP!~ Don't apply more than 2 layers of mineral veil powder after your foundation/makeup is done! It is meant to be a finishing powder and it does not have skin tone colours, thus, if you apply too many layers, you will see a PALE or damn thick face of yourself. Trust me....我是过来人! Just a mere 1 or 2 brushful over your face will set a matte glow over your face & you will look just as pretty as ever!

However, they are loose powders, therefore, my face tend to turn a little cakey if i happened to sweat (which i often did, i sweat a lot). I should say the mineral veil powder  doesn’t stick onto your skin easily unless there’s a base like foundation primer to help it last. And so, i am now pondering over which Primer to buy….speaking about saving up…duh…Maybe for now, i try NOT to sweat? LOL!!!!!!

LOVES~ Its foundation loose powder! It's very simple and straight-forward. If you want more coverage, a.k.a more thick look on your face, just apply more layers of foundation powder over your face. If you wish to look natural (more for work), just 2 layers should do the job ^^.

Now that i am more or less used to applying loose powders on my face, and i quite like this mineral powders, i’ve decided to order the full size container of the foundation and mineral veil. If you are interested, do drop by http://apothekesg.wordpress.com/

Let’s hope my skin will recover to its original condition with the help of more healthier makeup and skincare products!
