Hello, Beautiful!

I recently reviewed the Studio Gear CC Cream and Perfect Concealer. In this post I have two more Studio Gear products to share with you, the Eye Liner Pencil in the shade Midnight Blue, and their new Impactful Pro T.L.S. Mascara. Check out my full reviews, including all the product info, after each set of pics.

High performance, high intensity color combined with ease of application and great staying power. This kohl-based formula provides the precision necessary to create the perfect line or the smudge-ability you'll need to achieve the smokiest of eyes.

Available in 12 shades. I have the shade Midnight Blue - which is an almost black, navy blue pencil. I know in the photos it looks more blue but in person it is darker and closer to a black shade.

I really like using navy pencils because they make the whites of my eyes look brighter, and this is a pretty deep blue shade that does just that. The pigmentation was good. The pencil went on okay; it was a medium soft consistency and I wish it was creamier so it glided on a little better. You can warm it up by rubbing it on the back of your hand first, and that does help it apply easier. It didn't really apply with much pigmentation in my waterline and didn't stay there either - so I would not recommend this for your waterline. I didn't have issues with staying power on my top lid; it lasted all day!

Overall, I think this is a good eye liner. I'd recommend one of the colored shades, as I think there are better black pencils out there but the color range they offer is really pretty.

Studio tested, high impact mascara that thickens, lengthens and separates the lashes (hence the T.L.S. in the name -- T standing for Thickens, L standing for Lengthens and S standing for Separates), delivering maximum fullness and flare. This is the newest mascara from Studio Gear.

I only have a sample tube, but there is plenty to use in it and I got a good feel for this mascara. It does thicken my lashes, it does add length (although I have other mascaras that lengthen longer), and it does a great job at separating the lashes - applying clump free. It does everything it says. However, I don't think it does enough of what it says - at least not for my lashes. I liked this mascara and I think it could be a great mascara for a lot of people - but for the price I don't know if this is a mascara for me. Check it out next time you're at Ulta.

Now let me know what you think...

Transform and enhance your complexion with the newest revolution in beauty - Studio Gear's Color Correcting Cream, aka their CC Cream.

This incredibly light formula can simultaneously fight aging, retain moisture, and cover and treat blemishes with a non-oily, perfectly radiant finish. Prevents fine lines and wrinkles with collagen-building ingredients. Restores skin elasticity by promoting moisture retention. Brightens and luminates skin with a non-oily, complete coverage application. Has an SPF 20. Provides up to 72 hours of continuous hydration. Skin nourishing and brightening ingredients help to correct and maintain a youthful complexion. Oil-free.

Available in three shades: Linen, Natural, and Wheat. I have the shade Natural, which works well with my skintone. This is a color-adjusting formula, where is starts off "white" and turns to the shade you selected. The color will come about as you blend it into your skin.

It has a smooth texture and it didn't feel sticky on my face. It did feel a bit wet on my face, and as it dried my skin felt like it was getting slightly tighter. 

I don't think this is a "complete coverage" product, at least not for my skin, but it does offer sheer to light coverage and you could build it up in layers. For me, I'd use this as a primer or on its own if I'm not leaving the house, as I just prefer more coverage. But I do think this is a nice CC Cream worth checking out - especially if you like the self-adjusting color products that change from white to a color.

Studio Gear Perfect Concealer in Perfect Light

A revolutionary new texture and experience in concealer, Studio Gear's Perfect Concealer is a silicone emulsion formulation that feels and performs like a cream to powder. Provides exceptional application, studio quality coverage, extended wear, as well as treatment and moisturizing benefits.

Natural botanicals and optical diffusers help to minimize puffiness and reduce the appearance of fine lines, while Vitamins C and E provide powerful antioxidant protection.

Available in three shades: Perfect Fair, Perfect Light, Perfect Medium. I have the shade Perfect Light - which  when I first swatched (as you can see in the photos) seemed very yellow toned, which I liked, and then as I blended it out it became a big lighter in tone. On my eyes, it almost had a gray/white cast to it. It did a good job at covering up redness but you can still see my dark circles.

It does have a creamy texture and it is richly pigmented. In the tube it looked like the color had separated; I tried to shake it but that didn't seem to make a difference. It did come out a bit separated too, but it blended together perfectly.

I would recommend that your under eyes are moisturized/primed because I did find it was a bit tough to blend out for my before & after and I didn't have any moisturizer on.

Overall, I think this is a nice concealer that's worth checking out.

Now let me know what you think...
