Sleek Corrector & Concealer Palette

21 April 2014

Corrector/Concealer/Powder
I had really wanted to try a corrector and concealer palette for a while now, my under eye area does tend to look quite purple and, its not a massive problem i usually just cover it with a brightening concealer, but i was interested to see what difference a corrector would actually make.
I have been massively impressed with all the other Sleek products i've tried in the past so i thought id give their Corrector & Concealer palette a whirl.
The palette contains a corrector shade to lift and brighten the dark circles, a concealer to cover and restore the correct skin tone, and a powder to set, protect and finish.
The palette is small and a perfect size for a makeup bag or handbag, with a decent amount of product for its amazingly cheap price of £7.99!
The palette come in five shades 1 being the lightest 5 the darkest, i picked up the shade 02. The corrector is a very light milky pink colour, and the concealer is actually quite dark. It is a good match for my foundation, but i usually like to go lighter under my eyes so its not as light as i would of liked, i think i should have gone for 01. The powder is light and very yellow toned so it does seem to slightly tone down the concealer.
The corrector and concealer have a lovely smooth easily blendable consistency that feels very light under the eyes, i do find them both slightly greasy feeling so i definitely wouldn't wear them without setting with the powder after.
I am actually really impressed with the corrector it is incredibly brightening and does a great job of getting rid of dark circles, it is too light for me to use it on its own but with the concealer on top my under eyes really do look a lot better.
Im not as impressed with the powder, the colour is good at brightening but although it is a smooth and light powder i find it seems to settle into creases too much.
As much as i am impressed with the brightening affect this had on my dark circles there is one massive downside for me, the longevity. I find this creases under my eyes very quickly and I'm quite surprised by this as i had read good reviews about it lasting well. The corrector and concealer are both very rich and creamy so perhaps they just are not very well suited to oily skin like mine?
Overall i have found this palette a bit hit and miss, i don't think its a bad product but not amazing either its just a shame that it doesn't last well on me. I really love the corrector and will continue to use it, just with a different concealer on top i think so i don't get the under eye creasing.

Has anyone else tried the Sleek Corrector & Concealer Palette? What did you think?

  1. I love Sleek and haven't tried this but it doesn't sound like a revolutionary product, I am forever on a perfect corrector hunt but I do find even the Sleek shadows I have don't last amazingly long xxx

  2. I have seen this a couple of times in boots but have never picked it up. I am tempted to give it a try after reading your post!

  4. I haven't tried this but I've really wanted to. I'm not too sure now after reading this review as I have oily skin too and fear it will do the same thing. Thanks for the great review!
