Makeup Minute

Conceal with Smart Cover Cosmetics

Everyone wants their skin to look flawless, but of course life likes to throw us curve balls–a blemish here, an age spot there, redness there. This is when I am happy someone brilliant out there invented concealer. (Thank you concealer gods!) Back in September I heard about Smart Cover (not to be confused with Sheer Cover) that says it can conceal everything from a birthmark to dark circles under the eyes.

In full disclosure I have met the owner of Smart Cover, Flori Roberts (the blonde in the picture), at a dinner I attended back in September. Let me tell you this woman is a firecracker. I LOVED her. So when she told me about her product line, I was honored that she wanted to hear my opinion on it.

When receiving products I’ve learned not to judge a book by its cover. I’ve reviewed products in glorious packaging only for the product to completely fall short of its claims and I’ve reviewed products in poor packaging that are incredibly amazing. Have you experienced this too? Smart Cover’s packaging is a mix of good and bad. The concealer tubes and concealer sticks are good quality, but the bronzer packaging is not as good a quality. However, like I said, packaging is not everything and when it comes down to it—it’s the quality of the product that counts.

The Concealing Creme is a heavy duty concealer and works really great. Go easy applying it because less is more. If you put too much, it does look cakey. If you don’t need an “industrial” type concealer, there is the Smart Cover Stick, which has the look of a lipstick and applies with a thinner and lighter texture. Another Godsend was the Anti-Feathering Stick for lips. It felt great on and kept my lipstick from…feathering of course!

Smart Cover products can be purchased individually or in a kit and they are pretty affordable. You can see them all at www.smartcover.com. If you’ve tried them I’d love to hear your thoughts.

  1. Do you know if these concealers contain talc? I’d love to try them, but I’m allergic.

    Hi Crystal, yes they contain talc.

    But now I am on a mission for you–to find a great concealer that doesn’t contain talc!! ;)

    I have a tube of Smart Cover concealer in a horrible pinkish color but it covers better than any concealer I’ve ever used. I don’t remember where I got it but am in touch with someone from the company. I don’t know if they have yellow colors but as for coverage – this is the best. I’m 53 with dark circles and I was in the makeup business for 10 years.
