Glo Skin Beauty Oil Free Camouflage - Golden

Golden is the warm, gold-toned shade in this range. A firm, oil-free concealer for those spots you really want to hide: a pimple, a dark spot, or a scar that is still discolored.

Why it works

Covering a spot rarely works with more foundation. Foundation is designed to even out your entire face, not to cover a single point, and the more layers you add, the heavier it looks without the spot disappearing. This camouflage, however, is made specifically for that one point: a high concentration of finely milled mineral pigments in a thick, creamy base, so an amount the size of a pinhead is enough for full coverage.

Because there is no oil in the formula, it stays exactly where you put it, even on skin that starts to shine throughout the day—which is usually where blemishes are located. Vitamin C and E and rosemary leaf extract act as antioxidants and help protect your skin from external influences. The coverage is high, but the finish still looks like skin rather than a layer of makeup.

About this shade

Golden has, as the name suggests, a warm golden undertone. It is in the mid-range of the series and suits skin that looks yellow rather than pink and tans easily in the sun. The manufacturer does not provide an exact depth for each shade, so if you are hesitating between two colors, feel free to let me know.

For whom

For combination or oily skin with blemishes, for dark spots and pigmentation, for redness around the nose, or scars that are still discolored. It can also be used if your skin is dry: apply your skincare first and use less product, because on a dry surface, a full-coverage formula settles into fine lines more quickly. And even if you don't wear any other makeup, it works perfectly because you can use it just on that one spot.

How to use it

After your skincare, and after your foundation if you wear it. Take a tiny bit on a firm concealer brush or your fingertip and press the product into the skin instead of wiping it. That is the detail that makes the difference: rubbing shifts the pigments, and your coverage will be gone immediately. Blend only the edges, not the center, and set it with a little powder if your skin tends to shine. One thin layer that you let rest for a moment and then touch up selectively covers better than one thick blob.

What I'd like to share with you

This is a product that almost everyone uses too much of and covers too large an area. A pimple already has texture; if you put a thick layer on it, you cover the color but make the bump larger, which is exactly what stands out. In the salon, I work with the tip of a brush, exactly on the discoloration, and only build up if it still shows through after a minute. And I’ll be honest: concealing is covering, not treating. It won't make the spot go away any faster, and picking at it usually makes it worse. What actually helps the skin is leaving it alone and working on the root cause, and for that, it is better to look at your skincare than your makeup.
