The very first four — CIA, DEA, FBI as well as NSA — are repromotes of metropolitan Decay’s existing concealer pencils, with the exact same formula, however dressed in new packaging, while the other four — ATF, DOD, KGB as well as MI6 — are new additions to the line developed for darker damsels/covert spies.
Last weekend I dealt with the ATF, DOD as well as KGB on a extremely essential situation including my dark under-eye circles as well as skin flaws on my face. I directed ATF, a mid-toned dark golden beige, to take out my dark circles as well as dispatched DOD (a warm, dark tan) as well as KGB (a dark golden caramel) to work on my face.
Was the operation a success? Well, indeed as well as no.

These men are soft! — as well as creamy, however I imply that in a great way. I like the method they feel as well as what a cinch they are to apply. The formula sinks best into my skin as well as doesn’t look like it’s just chilling on top.

But none of the shades I tried are spy-caliber professionals in disguise. They don’t rather offer sufficient protection to completely conceal the purple below my eyes or cover my dark post-acne discolorations, although they do make a visible difference, as well as when I tried to up their opacity by adding a few much more layers, they started to look a bit as well thick.
I likewise discovered that when I didn’t prep my skin very first with primer as well as then set it with powder, the formula faded after 3-4 hours; when I did, though, they lasted much longer.
If your trick company is wanting to recruit a new operative able to offer light-to-medium coverage, these creamy 24/7 Concealer Pencils ought to serve as efficient new hires. just be sure to partner them with primer as well as powder to prep as well as set; otherwise, you may discover yourself having to reapply every few hours.
